The food is delicious and prepared with attention to detail. I had a fish sandwich that was delicious, the fish was cooked perfectly and was so moist and seasoned well. The sandwich was large and definitely enough to fill you up. We also had the fried anchovies which are out of this world! They are crispy and delicious without an overpowering fishy taste. Our server Rosario was amazing! He was kind and helpful and made sure we felt right at home. He brought out a small bowl of water for our dog without us having to ask for it. We ended up sitting there for a while (even though it was kind of cool outside) because we were having such a great time. This place is located right on the waterfront and if you are looking for a place with great food, atmosphere, and great service I would highly recommend this place.

I don't believe I have given a restaurant a low review as this one. But I value places same as they…read moresale themselves to be. The staff actually stopped us on the street and made it seemed like a great place to eat. We asked if they had fish on the menu as a few of them wanted fish and they confirmed showed us a menu taped to a board in front of restaurant which we liked. We ask to sit outside but only if the two tables by our side were not smoking because we have asthma. They confirmed sat us down. However the bartender had his girlfriend sitting by the bar next to us and she decided to smoke even when she could see us covering out faces. She did it two more times which made it worse. The waiter kept us waiting a while. Finally came and dropped menus and a paper bag which we then noticed it was extremely hard bread. So hard we could hit the table with it. Terrible and sad for an Italian restaurant and for the price. We ordered our food and one of us was left waiting for a long time. Our waitress was no where to be found. I flagged some and told them. And we were left waiting. I went up and found someone and explained and they finally admitted they made a mistake. However no apologies. I had to get up again as the food was still not brought in. All the food was bland except the carbonara which was the only meal we all agreed was great. The fish and vegetables were so disgusting we had to add salt; olive oil, and even balsamic to get some flavors. One of the fish was ordered with different sides and they also had that wrong. Very sad Will say never to go to this place. Service was bad, no one cared and no one even asked.

I came here at least twice a day for the week we were in Palermo. They made my "American" coffee…read moreeach morning eventhough I know they really cringed inside. Throughout the day we sampled freshly made pastries, gelato, panini and traditional Sicilian street food. By the 3rd day they greeted me as if I was a local. They knew a little English and I know a little Italian so we were able to get my orders done. The prices were very reasonable and nothing like the touristy locations. In the evening locals filled the tables on the front patio and to me that is a sign of a much loved restaurant & bar. I don't think I will pass through Palermo again but I will always remember Bar Touring.

I came here during my trip to Palermo, while I was trying to escape the charges in the US and I've…read morebeen wanting to try a real arancini. And wow! Forget money laundering, this is my new obsession. The service was great, the workers are definitely working very efficiently and have a great way of making the place flow. I am almost convinced that everyone in the restaurant is an actor and they rehearse this scene every day- how fluent they move. I bought two arancini. One was burro (which I was later disappointed when I found out that's not donkey, but still good) and one was ham and cheese. I promise I came within 2.4 millimeters of collapsing from the pleasure I felt when I bit into them. I went to the nearby park with one of my wives I met last month and we ate them. It was beautiful. The outside of the food was so crunchy you could have sanded a piece of wood with it. The rice inside was so moist that you'd think you're eating pudding. The meat and cheeses inside reminded me of home before the charges because they were criminally good. I went in around the same time school was letting out and apparently all the kids in Sicily decided to come by and flood the place like a pack of snotty booger balls and make a ruckus. Not Touring's fault however. But I think there should be a rule that requires you to be at least old enough to brush your own teeth in order to buy food with your moms credit card. I will be returning here in June on the 10th and the 11th at precisely 2pm local time each day. U.S. Justice department, come find me haha!!! I'll be wearing a red polo shirt and jeans with plenty of arancini in my stomach.

The waiter was extremely helpful with how to order properly cooked steak. One of our party ordered a filet and the rest of us split steak for three. The steak was cooked to request. The steak was not seared well and didn't have much of a char, which I enjoy. The potatoes and mushrooms were very good. It's a good change of pace if you're tired of Sicilian cuisine.

The service is okay, the waiter was attentive especially after he came in to collect my check and found I left the dish almost untouched. But, the food itself, is disaster.

Asked what wine the waiter recommended and he just recommemded the most expensive one on the menu. Then we watched three of the waiters berated 2 old ladies walking down the side walk. 3/4 of us then received our drinks and we ordered our starters and pasta. Our waiter insisted one of the starter dishes we ordered (Calamari) wouldn't be good unless we ordered a specific other starter (fried sardines)...?? Everything we ordered was a back and forth barter as the waiter tried to upsell us and we tried to explain through the language barrier that we just wanted to order a normal dish! All of a sudden our main dishes came out (before the starters) and the spaghetti with shrimp and clams turned out to be shrimp and clamshells... Only 3 of the clams actually had the meat in them... You can't make that up (see pic of clams). Then (after we reminded them) the fourth drink came, a prosecco bellini was ordered (6 euro) and a harder bellini (14 euro) was brought out... The reason I give two stars and not one was that the drinks, ravioli, and swordfish was actually pretty good. The night was just ruined by bad service. Our starter eventually came out while we were paying our bill (what a joke)... We just sent it back. Never going back to this place and you shouldn't either
