    The food is always excellent which yesterday was no exception. The service was not great. Our waitress was very nice but very overwhelmed. She had too many tables. The bussers were not around to refill water. We had to ask a couple of times for more water. Our pizza was supposedly dropped so they had to remake so it took over an hour to get our pizza. The manager did buy us another round of drinks which was appreciated. Still one of our favorite places!

    The pizza! Oh, the pizza is the best in the Chicago area! If you like a sweet sauce this is the place for you. It’s great for breakfast too ( if you have any leftover). We had the fried zucchini too, crispy and delicious. Service is as very good and the noise level was low.

    I had high expectations for Palermos restaurant but sadly, it was a very unpleasant experience. I ordered minestrone soup that was very salty, pizza bread was flavorless and the sauce was too sweet. Grilled chicken salad was fine. But the worst part is the cleanliness of the restaurant bathroom was dirty. Ventilation diffusers are very dirty i would say they never been cleaned. And the ceiling as well. I asked to talk to the manager. He did come to me and listened to me, but when I mentioned that the restaurant wasn't clean ,he started having a bad attitude towards me. He mentioned that that wasn't the right place for me. And that He prefers other customers

    Ambience was perfect. Food taste as if it was frozen and then reheated. Steak was asked to be medium however it was welled down… Vegetables were not seasoned at all. 10-15mins later a glass jar of oil fell from the table across and splattered oil&glass onto my party. Waitress came and took payment while employees try to get the glass and oil up. After waiting literally 15 minutes the waitress nor manager came to check on our table or provide change from payment. If it wasn’t for the company, good conversation, salad, and bread Mother’s Day probably would’ve been a bust 🫤

    Amazing food as usual! The sautéed chicken is so delicious and my husband’s veal dish was wonderful as well. This is an incredible restaurant that has stood the test of time. Can’t wait to go back!

    Pizza was outstanding as usual. Service was not good. It was a slow night and constantly had to ask for water. Waitress came by too infrequently for a wine reorder.
