Osteria Mangia E Bevi - PALERMO

Recommended by our hotel. Nice setting, food was good house red poor and COLD. Spoilt by the rude miserable staff especially the woman who stood by the door doing nothing but frowning and pointing when you asked if she had a table for 2. Angelo was helpful though.

Nice restaurant with a lot of tables. Nice atmosphere. Waiters are professional, but a bit too distant and not extremely friendly. Quick service. Marvelous onion soup. Very good fried fish. The rest was okay.

Walking here we passed several restaurants that were doing a bustling business. We arrived when they opened at 20:00 and we’re the first of a few to be seated. It wasn’t long before all the tables were occupied. The extensive menu had an English translation that was sort of helpful. Looking around was the better choice. We had the artichoke arancini as a starter. For entrees we had beef stew and pasta. The insalata was fennel and capers . House wine cheap and mediocre. All in all very good

Not a nice meal… The fried pasta is ugh not my style. I rather have it as normal cooked way. The fried squid is pricey. I will said it is a tourist trap. You guys… there is definitely a better place.

Very cool vibe outside! It was very busy when we went, got sat inside and almost forgotten about until after we finally ordered. Then food came fast. Their Mellanzane appetizer is amazing. The rest of our food was so-so: either way too oily or way too salty. The bread is very good though, and their white house wine pretty nice.
