Just by luck we found Palermo Italian restaurant. Food was really good. Super nice people made our experience even better. Best Birthday candle ever 😀

There’s a small parking lot across the street - don’t worry about traffic, they have a crosswalk person that stops traffic.

Palermo Italian Restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Just before I discovered this spot, I was looking for a place with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere and Palermo delivered with its cozy, unpretentious charm. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably enjoy a meal without feeling rushed, a nice balance of casual and tasteful

Your standard “nice” Americanized Italian restaurant that’s about 30 years out of date. The service is good and the decor is relaxed but the food gives Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory vibes at twice the price. There’s nothing special on the menu at all and no craft to the cooking to justify the premium. I live just a few minutes away but won’t be going back.

We ordered the carbonara, the lamb chops, and a bow tie pasta. The food is excellent the carbonara is one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Everything was delicious and tasted amazing no complaints. We were sat near what seemed to be a company party. Very loud and couldn’t hear my partner unless I shouted across the table.

Food was good, the lamb had a very small portion unfortunately but everything else was good, we were also seated next to a happy hour on a very wobbly table so it made it too loud to talk.

Big disappointment really expensive for what you get, If you like tv dinners this is the place for you.

Palermo Italian Restaurant had a really pleasant and inviting atmosphere. We felt very comfortable dining there, and it contributed nicely to our overall experience enjoying some Sicilian-style cooking

Went for a birthday dinner and was very disappointed by the food. Only good part of the entire dinner was the tiramisu.

Calamari Fritte was dry and very hard to chew. They remade it for us, but the new one was equally disappointing.
Pasta lacked any flavor and taste. Pizza was okish, nothing special.
