A Tavula è Cunzata

We had a lovely meal. The pasta was too al dente for me but carbonara was tasty. The cassata was delicious and the waiter brought another for us to sample. The service was perfect. Thanks for a nice evening

Lovely restaurant and great service. The pasta was wonderful and so was the pizza. Would highly recommend! They also spoke English and for the chili lovers, there’s very good chili oil!!

Amazing food, quick service and lovely staff. A great spot for sea food lovers!

The staff is so friendly and kind. It was the best service we had in Palermo. Such a lovely dinner in a beautiful outdoor setting. we had the pizza and it was delicious! Can’t wait to come back next time.

Staying in Palermo for the weekend we were looking forward to the food and cultural experiences we had read so much about before our trip. On arrival however we had a couple of disappointing experiences on the Saturday. In the afternoon we had street food in Ballaro Market but at the end of the day, around 4pm, the food was past its best. We had been in the morning and everything was much fresher and so we did a little sightseeing and went back later. Long story short if you want street food from here go early! Second disappointment was in the evening. Expecting a genuine Sicilian culinary delight we headed for the centre of the historic city, vibrant, like Ballaro Market in the morning, the city was full of life and energy. The restaurants all want to entice you in but once in the service was shambolic and the warmth they used to get you in disappeared instantly and it seemed they couldn't turn you round and get you out quick enough! To add to this the food was from a packet and the presentation and service was shocking! Conclusion, if you want a genuine Sicilian experience, avoid busy streets full of restaurants and people.

On the Sunday, our final day before heading to the coast, our expectations of finding that experience had all but disappeared. As we were staying in an apartment directly overlooking Piazza San Domenico, we decided to head to the restaurant directly under our noses...'A Tabula è Cunzata'...regarding the "genuine Sicilian experience" this turned out to be the best decision we made all weekend!

Claudio!...I will start with his name, all I can say is thank you! He turned our experience around and made our final day a delight, restoring our faith in the pursuit and delivery of that experience.

A Tabula è Cunzata! This is a must visit for people who want to relax and enjoy Palermo for its real beauty, the food, the people and the historic architecture. Situated directly in Piazza San Domenico this place offers views of the old chiesa San Domenico, with people leaving the church after Sunday Mass, local kids playing football, vespas and Fiat 500s scooting by, pedestrians strolling and enjoying a chat sat on the marble benches; all of Palermo in one place!

Claudio and his colleague welcomed us, sat us down outside, spoke perfect English, as my Italian isn't great, ran patiently through the menu and made us feel welcome and relaxed. When our food came, we were not disappointed either. My partner ordered the mussel soup and me a local dish with fried cheese and potato and we shared a pizza for the main course; along with fresh Sicilian orange juice and the obligatory bottle of water and finished off with an espresso. All of this with the amazing views and an outstanding personal service. Not once did we feel rushed, allowing us to take in the full experience. This place is not overly fancy but ticked every box. The price of the meal was also very reasonable; around €40.

After the meal we went for a long walk and returned later for Ice cream in the Gelateria next door ( appeared to be same estabishment), which was also beautiful.

So a big THANK YOU to Claudio and A Tavula è Cunzata for turning our experience around and making our weekend in Palermo. Grazie Mille and hope to return again soon!

I really enjoyed our lunch here as a table of 6. Everybody was satisfied and the food was fresh and full of flavours. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly and my fiancee who is actually sicilian, was well impressed 😃🇮🇹

The food was amazing and the prices were excellent.

Ask for Claudio - a very nice man with brilliant service and interesting stories. The perfect Sicilian experience!

Excelent pizza 4 formagi

Delicious food...canoli was amazing. Our waiter Claudio was very friendly and attentive

Had some lovely food at this restaurant during our one night in Palermo. Great value and superb house wine

Very good wine and good food. Claudio and Giuseppe very good waiters.

Really great transitional food. You should try.

Great food and drink!

Przyjemna restauracja w samym centrum Palermo. Obsługa miła i sprawna, ale lekko zamieszana. Pizza bardzo dobra, klasyczna. Rollsy z bakłażanem dobre, ale nie były wystarczająco ciepłe. Sałatka z bakłażanem gorzka, nie zachęcała smakiem. Przystawka z ziemniakiem dobra. Ogólnie jedzenie nie jest złe, pizza napewno godna polecenia.

Cena di coppia dopo una bellissima passeggiata per il centro di Palermo. Esperienza stupenda per l'ottimo cibo, per un servizio impeccabile ed una location piacevolissima con i tavoli ben apparecchiati sulla piazza a godersi la fresca serata.
Volevo mangiare qualcosa di tipico ed ho degustato un ottimo panino con la milza ed un piatto di pasta con le sarde, eccezionali! Consigliatissimo!
PS: rapporto qualità/prezzo perfetto!

Locale accogliente con personale molto gentile. Cibo ottimo con prezzi super onesti, inferiori rispetto ad altre alternative turistiche in zona. Aperto fino a tardi la sera, consigliato

Pasta pesto e gamberi eccezionale
Personale super gentile, avevamo i tempi tirati purtroppo perchè dovevamo prendere la navetta per l’aeroporto e in venti minuti ci hanno fatte cenare

Przepyszne lokalne jedzenie i przemili panowie z obsługi, pełni wyrozumiałości dla osób zza granicy i uśmiechnięci.

Superbe cadre, les serveurs sont très aimables. Très bon rapport qualité-prix, les plats sont copieux et très bons 😊

Pyszne jedzonko! Uśmiechnięta obsługa! Lokalizacja zaraz przy Vucciria!
Polecamy! 😍😋
