The food and prices at Osteria Mangia e Bevi were excellent! Much cheaper than a lot of the places in the surrounding areas of Palermo. The calamarti fritti was cooked perfectly and my wife said her soup was delicious. We got some of their house wine, which can be a gamble, and unfortunately this wine wasn’t good. But only a few bucks for half a liter! Overall good experience, we will return!

A delicious hidden gem. I had refried spaghetti and it was very tasty.
I like that this restaurant is in a quiet location, away from the crowds and traffic.
Service was speedy and very polite and efficient. 100% recommend.

When locals tell you this restaurant is number one, you have to believe them. We have eaten here several times. They use the best and freshest ingredients and have prices similar to street food. A welcoming, clean and relaxed atmosphere. Don't hesitate to eat here and you will definitely be back. Ahhhh and the best Cannoli is here. Here some dishes.

Fabulous restaurant. Loved the ethos of menu (wish theyd left them on table for us to read fully after ordering)., quirky style of decor..food was delicious.
Recommend booking or arriving before 7pm as at 730 we were unable to get a table inside.. was a bit chilly eating outside in February. (No patio heaters).

One of the worse "sicilian" restaurants I have been to. The fried calamri were bitter (I assume old frying oil?) and not crispy. The pasta norma was most boring, and their house specialty, the "fried pasta in a pan" was horribly burnt and was almost inedible.
After asking the owner I got a reply that this is a Palermo specialty... Make your own decision if you want to try this... very... special dish

If you’re in Palermo and looking to try authentic Sicilian food this is the place to go! I only managed to get two photos of some of our starters as we were so excited to eat! The service was great and the staff were very friendly! Such a lovely atmosphere being seated outside! Make sure you book ahead as there were people being turned away as they were full! We got there at about 20:15 and it definitely started to get busy about 15minutes later! Can’t wait to go back when I come back to Palermo!

Delicious meal, would have preferred to eat in the main dining room as it’s more cute.

Excellent food quality - tasted perhaps one of the best caponata di melanzane ever, but everything was mouthwatering!
