Ristorante Ferro

Cannot fault the food, service, ambiance at this perfect restaurant just off the main drag in Palermo. Highly recommend the crumbed octopus starter, like just order it. Best I’ve had in my life & I’m a coastal person. Walk the 100m off the path & eat here

Saw the good reviews and had a fantastic dinner. Steak was perfect, octopus starter to die for and my wife loved the burriata pasta. Service is excellent and love it is a block away from the high traffic restaurant street. A must visit!!

Wow ! Just WOW! Our first night in Palermo after travelling throughout Sicily. We literally stumbled on this restaurant away from the tourist beat. The rating was high and that helped. Marcella , her sister and her niece looked after us with the warmth of dearest family ! We were greeted with an unexpected gift of a glass of the most beautiful spritz. Like nectar. The food was perfectly cooked ! To perfection. ! My wife and I shared a busiata pasta with botarga and clams. ( I took the photo after I deshelled the clams - My Bad ). Followed this up with a perfectly cooked beef steak ! Melted in the mouth and was accompanied by the sweetest cherry tomatoes. For dessert my wife chose the apple and pear crumble ! Outstanding meal ! Best service and best people.

Worth wandering off the beaten path in Palermo for this gem of a ristorante. Try the house wine, one of their pastas or their grilled fish, you can't go wrong. The atmosphere is elegant and calm, and the servers are very welcoming and polite.

After an aperitif (from the house) I had a blast with the food! Amazing sauces with fresh herbs and flavors. Definitely come back again. Go there and try the grilled pulpo with fennel and leek. Amazing! Really nice service, felt home. Thanks!

Impressive fresh pasta in sophisticated milieu. The milieu and decoration itself is worth experiencing, as it represents post-modern design combined with sophisticated approach. The service is in par with lovely milieu. The food itself is excellent. Pasta is fresh and tasty. Ample of choices to satisfy practically everyone, and the same statement applies to the wine selection. Worth experiencing.

We had a great dinner here. Indoor and outdoor seating on a small square and the place is simple and understated. The food was excellent, every course delivered. From the swordfish meatballs to two great pasta dishes, to the seared tuna. And a very reasonably priced wine list, with grillo, cataratto, etc. Unfussy and attentive service too. If I lived in Palermo I’d be back here regularly….

Amazing, innovative Sicilian dishes with seafood as the star. But we also got a beef filet that was amazing and required very little chewing! Come and check out this hidden gem now!
