    Our experience was meh. We were told right as we were seated that our wait would be beyond a few minutes. The pizza was ok, my husband sat at the table with his food for 10 minutes waiting for sauce only to be told they didn’t have any.

    Great pizza with a sweet sauce. Pasta dishes big and good. Always like the fresh bread basket. Waitress was very patient with a semi difficult party member. Will be back for more.

    We were seated for a while and no one stop by to take our orders. Table next to us came in after us. We waited on and already had their beverage. I finally spoke up to the hostess and said we have had no one stop by. Eventually our waiter came. He screwed up on the drink order. The food seems like it’s gone downhill. We have the eggplant Nonna and it was not the same from previous times.

    The BEST pizza. We drove 30-45 minutes to have dinner here. We hadn’t been to Palermo’s in awhile. Dinner today did not disappoint!
