Came down late one evening to Piazza dell Magione and in a second I went into Ballarak Magione…read more Learned that they have their own beer and had one, of course. Great taste. As it was a bit rainy I stayed inside and found quit soon myself involved in a couple of conversations, at the same time. And so it went on until it was time to close the pub. No problem. We went outside, the rain had stopped, and we continued to talk and share opinions and views until early morning. Had to return the next evening because people here were so gentle and easy going. And for the beer, of course. Can't tell you how many different kind of beer they have. But the one I had were all excellent. The professionalism of Ballarak Magione says it all.

Absolutely the Best. From the time you walk in until your departure you will like you are at home…read more We arrive a couple of minutes prior to their opening and there was one couple in front of us. We basically went right in which was very nice. We sat in the front room as you entered. There were about 7 or 8 tables and another room off to the side. Don't know how big but it seemed to be about the same size. After about 30 minutes the little restaurant was packed. They turned many people away. Sad for them. We ordered the Pasta with Pumpkin, Pecorino, and Ricotta Cheese and the Pasta with Pistachio Pesto, Stracciatella Cheese and Sun Dried Tomatoes. Both dishes were perfectly prepared. My pick was the pistachio one and it was addictive. I couldn't stop eating it. The pumpkin one was equally as good but that addictive kept calling my name. We both had to finally give up because we wanted to try the dessert. The dessert was definitely the finale. A deconstructed cannoli. Best we had In Palermo. This place nails it. The atmosphere is hip. The music is great. The service is the best we have had in our three weeks in Sicily. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend. Make a reservation!!!

Great location, fantastic choice of beer, wine and bubbly prosecco or spumante !…read moreI was told that they are the original champagneria that sparked the creation of all the others in that street. They source local sparkling wine of which we tried two. They offer cold cuts snd cheese platters also sourced from Sicily. The took the small platter. Great ! That night they had set up a tent outside with music and heaters. Lively atmosphere ! We had a good time.

Wonderful, delicious seafood, best meal I had in Sicily,so fresh,and the service was excellentread more

Nice location on the waterfront and great seafood. The mussels are some of the best we have had…read moreand we are used to fresh seafood. The staff was friendly as well. Only gripe is they seem to charge a premium for the location. I guess this must be a resort town or something, but it was nearly double the price for the same dishes you could get in Palermo. Quality food and wine though, even at the price it is worth checking out.
