    There were five in our party, four of us had the pizza which is always delicious, oh that sweet sauce! One of us had the sautéed chicken , it was tender and flavorful, it could have fed three people. We also had the fried zucchini with ranch dressing, very yummy and crunchy , there was plenty for all five of us. Our server was excellent, we waited for nothing even though it was a busy night. Palermo’s is the gem of the southside!

    Always great! Christmas Day Dinner is usually stressful and expensive at a restaurant. It was perfect at Francesca’s last night. They did a great job allowing off the menu selections, friendly service and a beautiful atmosphere. But, pls for the love of Italian food, bring back the old Ceasar Salad. The new recipe is not good. The old one was perfection!!!
