After a long drive and an extremely hangry travel companion, we landed on Palermo's. They have a parking lot that they validate off Russell Ave. If you're not dining, they charge $$$, but if you're eating, you don't need to worry about paying an exorbitant amount, I believe it's free. Since we were sleep deprived, we didn't see that but parked in a neighboring street less than 5 mins walk to the restaurant.

Upon walking in, we were greeted by the owner Tony and his wife. He was quite a lovely man and we engaged in some friendly banter. His wife (whose name eludes me, and for that I apologize) brought us the complementary welcome sliver of pizza with a smile which made us so happy. They ordered the lasagna with minestrone; I ordered the eggplant parmigiana that included pasta and a salad with Italian dressing. I also ordered the cannoli.

The food tasted amazing, our respective soup and salad included complimentary bread. The soup was balanced, nothing too strong or acidic, with the flavors coming through. The salad was good and fit what I needed. The lasagna made them moan, and despite it being enough to feed a person or two, it was gone within 10 minutes. I enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana (gave me enough to feed two!), it was a bit softer than I was expecting for fried eggplant, however the flavor more than made up for it. And the spaghetti with marinara was delightful.

Cannoli was huge! And the cream inside was so tasty! Would order just for the filling alone.

Good for friends, family night, date night, or solo adventure. Okay so hear me out. Yes the dishes are approximately $25 for pasta. But it's well worth it. If I make it out in that area again, I will be back!

Amazing service and good atmosphere. Unfortunately the food was not my favourite. I chose lasagne and found it to be quite salty. They gave salad before the main and we ordered an appetizer. It was unnecessary. We were all feeling full by the time the meal came. They also give you small slices of pizza when you are seated so definitely a lot of food. They did give us tiramisu at the end. That was delicious! There is definitely plenty of food, it just wasn’t the best I’ve had in terms of flavour.

Coming to Palermo is always a great experience, this time was no exception from the time we were met at the door and waited on we were treated like family. That's why we keep coming back, we don't live close so it is hard to come as often as we would like.

Stopped here for dinner on a Friday night. We were promptly seated. The service was friendly and attentive. The calamari was good, but the pasta entree was so rich, and cream-heavy, not my cup of tea.
