    Food always so good. We went at lunch time so not so busy or noisy. Service was inattentive and not knowledgeable about the menu.

    We’ve been here several times but this time the food just didn’t taste as good. I order the spinach wrapped gnocchi but since I didn’t like it and the texture was strange I switched it for fettuccini Alfredo and shrimp which was better. Our server however was amazing. I doubt if we’ll be back I personally think this place has ran its course for me.

    We’ve been going to Palermo’s for over 40 years. So many food items remain exactly the same! The pizza, stuffed artichokes, cheesecake, salad… it’s just a tad expensive now. The bus boys were very attentive!
