Everything was good. I had the 'house antipasto' to start, and I'd recommend it. The sardine ball was quite different to my New England palate, but Sicilian food is full of strong flavors, so ... yes, this is why we travel! My husband started with beef carpaccio which was very good. Sliced a bit thicker than we've ever had, but... More

The restaurant was recommended to me by the hotel's concierge. The food, typical Italian fare, was good. But the manager's haughty attitude spoiled it. What is the sense of dinning someplace and watching a pompous fellow acting as if he was doing you a flavor serving it?

We were recommended this restaurant by the hotel and it was excellent. Very good quality food, excellent wine list and definitely place I would look to go again if in Palermo.

It took us a while to figure out where many of the good restaurants were in the city but once we sat down to our table at Il Ghiottone Raffinato we knew we made the right choice for dinner. We were sat in the outdoor... More

Our last night in Sicily and we wanted to have a special meal so chose this restaurant thanks to Tripadvisor. Lovely little place with modern decor, we sat upstairs overlooking the restaurant below. No air conditioning but even in mid-August the ceiling fans did the job. We only had main courses, one bottle of wine and a shared desert which... More

Overall pretty good - probably nearer a 3.5 than a 4 out of 5. Good starters with caponata di pesce, although the Antipasto "dell Ghiotonne" was probably better value as it appeared to have this along with a few other items. To be fair, the fritte with the caponata were very good. Mains of pasta with boar ragu and sea... More

We were mislead by reviews and went there. Food was heavy and bad, no aircondition inside, not nice to seat out 2 pastas, one antipssti and wine 100 euro. Overall bad experience

Small restaurant but very comfortable. The food is amazing!!! Homemade style whit the best ingredients.
