We haven't been to Palermo Italian Restaurant in Los Feliz for decades - and it is just as friendly and hospitable as ever!
The food is straightforward home Italian cooking, as it always had been.
The service starts with a phone call to the restaurant as dinner service started to ask about parking. He stayed on the phone with me until I found the street a few minutes later. I was so impressed.
And I could tell our long- time, accommodating server that I never lose an opportunity to tell people how Palermo made my husband and I (and everyone in the lively crowd on line waiting outside) feel so welcome with a glass of wine ???? servers passed to us all. They still do this for $1 I understand.
And, sigh, when you walk outside, there are people in walking in the streets, which what I miss so much about living in the area!

Classic Italian restaurant. Ordered the cáprese salad and a pepperoni pizza. Caprese was simple but fresh, and the pizza had a great red sauce and the cheese was perfectly stringy. Classic interior style as well.

This is an Italian Gem! Our Service was impeccable with Tony treating us like family and welcoming our grandma in who has been eating here for decades. This is only my second time here but let me say I am pleasantly impressed by the quality of the food. Now I know why this is my husbands number one favorite restaurant. I had a spaghetti and meatballs and it was so delicious. It was a healthy portion with pasta cooked to order in a robust and fragrant red wine tomato and mushrooms meat sauce. So good in fact I did not get a picture. My husband had the linguine with clams sauce that was also amazing, the sauce is light and flavorful with a healthy Portion of clams. We finished with tiramisu and it was a complete delight. Overall 10 out of 10 would recommend!

This restaurant gets 5 stars for the hospitable service alone! The guy seeving our food was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Our main course dishes were simple and tasty! We will definitely come back here again.

This is the best Italian food I have ever had, the pizza is just amazing. This place seems so authentic, the staff and the service is just commendable.
The owner is probably the nicest and most humble person you can imagine. No doubt the fame of this restaurant. This is a must visit restaurant especially for Italian cuisine lovers.

Thank you Palermo, for being a cozy, neighborhood gem for Los Feliz residents.
Palermo is warm, welcoming, unpretentious, and classic. It is the kind of place you can duck into for a pizza with the family, or tiramisu and port with mom. You can be as fancy or as casual as you wish, while still getting greeted with enthusiasm and charm by the staff. No need to "be" anything or impress anyone here - it's just good food with good people.
The interior is just what comes to mind when you conjure up visions of 'neighborhood Italian restaurant' in your head. Low lights, leather booths, the smell of Bolognese in the air, and everything is clean as a whistle! (No dust on the fixtures here, no sir).
The food is well priced and good quality. Classic mid century American Italian faire with iceberg lettuce salads and spaghetti aplenty. The pizza is actually quite good, they make a crumbly, toothsome crust. The real standout is the linguine with clams - real chopped clams in white wine! Not a hint of clam juice to be found.
Palermo also has an incredible wine selection. They won't list all of their wines on the menu, but if you ask the staff for something particular they'll probably be able to find it for you.

Well, in one word AMAZING!!!
Walking in for the first time the owner was on the phone taking an order but still made me feel like a regular with a warm snails and nod. We were seated in a couple of minutes and our drinks arrived as if by magic!
The meal started with a small piece of pizza for each of us as an appetizer. Gratis… we ordered and in less than a minute we were eating our salad.
Sometimes quick service mean lousy food. Not here! A generous salad of fresh greens just as crispy as you would expect in a fine dining experience. Then followed by GIANT plates of pasta. So even with our big appetites we could not eat!

The service was fantastic. They make you feel at home. The meat ravioli and garlic bread were good! My wife had the chicken parmigiana but didn’t like it. It wasn’t crispy and it was a bit chewy.
