Would recommend most highly. Food was excellent and by far the best we had in Palermo. Vincenzo was a hospitable host. Wine was also very good.

Decided to go to this restaurant after reading a Frommer's Review and the proximity to our hotel. The owner, an LSU grad, was most accommodating and friendly. The Pasta con Sarde (a sicilian specialty) was the absolutely the best I had in all of Sicily. Don't forget to try the mozzarella with strawberry preserve.
