After a wonderful dinner, we returned to Da Bacco for lunch and dinner the next day to see if our…read morefirst night had been unusual. Things went from very good to great. Stefano not only continued sharing his knowledge of Sicilian wines but recommended Enoteca Picone to further our experience which was perfect advice. Lunch for me was fried octopus, which was 4 legs, each 6" (150 mm.) long and crispy on the outside and tender but slightly chewy on the inside like great fried chicken. I had seen a plate the night before and actually dreamed of them. They did not disappoint. She chose another iteration of cozze from the specials menu. These mussels were steamed in beer with fresh ginger and were comparably good to the sautéed but slightly more subtle. It turns out that dishes on the specials menu can work their way onto the standard menu if the patrons insist and the chef came out to ask for a comparison. We repeated the contorni plate of chef's choice vegetables that repeated the potato slices but added grill zucchini and oven dried onion that was sweet with all of the bitter components gone and the consistency of a very thin potato chip. We tried to rein in for dinner with pasta only. I had the Sicilian classic Pasta a la Norma with strong fresh tomato, soft eggplant, and sweet onion. It demanded scarpetta even with a white linen table cloth. She had pasta with prawns that was subtle and delicate with a lighter tomato sauce with herbs. We repeated the wines from the night before. We left feeling sad to think we probably wouldn't be back on this trip but smiling from the stomach up.

Then in addition, the prosciutto with melon, also the carbonara which had thicker noodles. I dont know that I necessarily care for that, but it was yummy, and so flavorful. I loved it. The service was very direct slightly pretentious in a feel good way. So fun and such a good way to end your night in Italy.

Highly recommend!

Beginning at 7:30pm, and only after asking, they bring enormous platters of food to each table based on the number of people in your party. There were four of us but there was enough food to feed a small army. Lots of Sicilian street food type appetizers, plus a delicious pasta, meats & cheeses, Sicilian hamburgers, olives, breadsticks, etc. Great service, fun music, lively environment. I want to say this feast was about $8-10pp, but don't have the exact number.

They offer more than 50 different toppings, some of which include local produce like: goat cheese with mint, sun dried tomatoes, saffron-cheese, sausage with fennel seeds. The restaurant is scenically housed in the stables of a medieval manor perched on top of a cliff. The summer terrace has spectacular views over a valley with a lake and surrounded by rugged mountains. The pizza and scenery are well worth a drive on the curvy and winding road up the hill.

All dishes had wonderful flavor and we were sharing across the board. We wouldn't hesitate to go back or to recommend this spot.

Unbelievable fresh Italian food in the heart of Palermo…read more I ate here right after a stroll in the farmer's market. Looking at the menu, it's very clear that they got their ingredients fresh that morning from the local market. I was particularly interested in the daily specials. My parents both had the pasta with fresh artichokes, a feature of the market. This pasta dish was elegantly simple, and you could tell that the artichokes were very fresh. I had the squid ink pasta. This squid ink dish was particularly good, with a sauce that was clearly made from fresh squid ink. It was very flavorful, and I wish that I could eat more of it. Anyway, if you're in Palermo, this is definitely the place to go for delicious food!
