    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.

    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.
