“ Everything good, brilliant quality/price ratio. Maybe the chairs should be changed but definetly a lovely place. ”
“ A very pleasant fish restaurant. My wife had salmon; I had cod and chips, which was different from the UK fish'n'chips. We were both very satisfied with our meals. The place is clean and welcoming, and the chef/waiter was extremely pleasant, helpful and chatty. We had arrived early in the evening and we didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive. ”
“ Food was good but the waiter brought the plastic fork (we ate inside), but other people used the metal one…idk why…it’s strange… ”
“ We came yesterday, as it was so delicious we came here today as well :) it is not so crowded so you do not need to wait too long, we ordered salmon it was extremely delicious ”
“ Great fast sea food restaurant! We tried Polpo Croccante - octopus burger and it was something really special. The prices are a little high for a burger but it is worth it! ”
“ Really great local spot to satisfy your fish cravings.. had the tartare salmone and it was delicious..will definitely go back! ”
“ I was in Palermo for five days and tried lots of popular places on Google Maps. Pescato, on the other hand, was a recommendation from a local I met and it is the best restaurant at its price point!!! Btw it is NOT a fast food restaurant. Everything is prepared fresh only when you order. I came back twice during my trip. First time I had the Cozze e Vongole and really loved the flavours in the sauce. Second time, we ordered a lot more - polpo arrosto, fileto di tonno, ragusano pepe e gambero. And we got raw scampis on the house WHICH WERE SOOOO GOOD! ”
“ The characterization of "fast food" doesn't really give justice to this place which does some peculiar yet traditional dishes. We got here fairly late at night and despite the kitchen being almost closed, we were able to get two amazing pastas based on tuna and shrimps respectively but paired with pistachios and Ragusano cheese. Prices are on the low end. ”
