    Have not been here in many years as we had moved to far west burbs. Coming back felt like "home". Service is excellent and professional. ..pasta very good. And of course, a full dining room on a wonderful Saturday evening. Everyone enjoying themselves. Palermos is an Italian dining institution in the Oak Lawn area.

    Waited well over 1 hour for our pizza order was told that it had been dropped in the kitchen and had to be remade. No excuse we waited and waited They should be glad that they are one of few restaurants in the area for people to dine as they probably would'nt be able to compete if customer had others to choose from. Was told by others that this is normal to have to wait for your food order to come out. They must have quite a few dropped meals in the kitchen. once we did receive our meals and pizza the food was good but not worth the time waiting.

    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.
