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!!!

A stylish new restaurant just a few steps away from the Duomo in Monreale. At the front there is a…read moresmall area designated by potted saplings where you can eat al fresco; inside, the medieval terraced house has been converted into a series of dining rooms on three levels. On entry, you will see straight into the immaculate glass-fronted kitchens, where smiling chefs will greet their diners with relish. The walls have been rendered down in places to expose original brickwork, and are otherwise covered with local ceramics, paintings, and shelved with wine. The tabling is tight; these people know they will get plenty of custom with their excellent food at very sensible pricing, so no space has been spared and in this respect it is more like a Paris brasserie. Expect to sit cheek-by-jowl with the locals and get ready for some social intercourse. Bricco sets its stall out as a destination for meat lovers, and backs up its meat-orientated menu with a Wine List containing some hefty national and local vintages. Kidneys were sauteed and glazed in an intense red wine and balsamic reduction. Vitello Tonnato had been made with fresh Tuna and garnished with local caperberries. Involtini of Lamb were deliciously, unctiously fatty and very tasty. A Sicilian-bred fillet of Angus was cooked to perfection: dark and crusty outside, meltingly pink and juicy within. Potatoes were oven-sauteed with fresh rosemary as only the Italians know how. For about 30 Euros one can dine regally. This place is destined to be in the next editions of all the guides, but right now I cannot find a single entry for it anywhere on the web. If you're out that way, be one of the first to try it!

The roman style pizza (with prosciutto) was very good, the birra rossa was excellent. (Malty and a bit sweet.) My lady enjoyed her bruschetta, which was brimming with ricotta.

I was induced to take lunch here by the pleasant group of tables laid up in a little courtyard at…read morethe front of the restaurant, but as they were all booked I went inside. An old boy was operating a pizza oven and he waved me to a table. That was my last human contact for quite a while. A group of men hung around the counter in front of the pizza oven talking to our old friend, and occasionally one of them would take a pizza over to a table; but they did not seem to be waiters, more hangers-on. Then a chap with a motorcycle helmet entered, put his helmet on the counter, and poured himself a coke. He, too, helped out from time to time, but was clearly not an employee. I'd obtained a glass of wine by now, and having placed my order I thought I'd pay a visit to the loo. The Mens had been combined with The Disabled Toilet - presumably to comply with the law - but the extra space provided within had been colonised by the two enormous steel lockers. Several essential components of the porcelain were missing. Some bare wires poked out of the wall. There was no flush. I searched vainly for 2 or 3 minutes for a chain, pedal, handle or something that looked as if it might release a stream of water. Eventually I spied a button under the towel rail, one and a half metres distant from the toilet bowl; I pressed it more in hope than expectation, and to my astonishment, the toilet flushed. There was no hand drier and the paper towel dispenser was empty. I took a deep breath and decided I'd run for it. But to my dismay, my Antipasti had been served in my absence and one of the hangers-on was waiting to shepherd me to the table. The food was as good as the toilets.

The pizza marguerite was one of the best we had in Sicily with a very nice cheese, crust and an excellent tomato sauce. I also had a mixed appetizer with 2 crostini, one the traditional tomato the other with peppers. The dish also came with an eggplant peperonato, artichokes, an arancini and some fried chickpea. All quite good. That was a 3 he pizza a 4. The service was excellent and the ambiance on small piazza that form my table you can see the cathedral was really nice: all that plus 2 hours free parking, Ps coming here is a must as I have seen every single church worth seeing in Europe and this one covered in amazing 12th century mosaics impressed even this jaded traveler:
