Pleasantly surprised at Palermo's

Palermo's Italian Cafe is a family owned and operated jewel of a restaurant. FW Joey and I recently visited it for the first time with two other Fort Worth couples. The atmosphere was very pleasant - high ceilings and tables that were adequately spaced from one another added a nice touch. Warning: Be prepared to feel like you put a few pounds the morning after eating here! The food was delicious, but many of the selections were served in heavy, cream based sauces. I had the lobster ravioli, which tasted homemade and fresh. FWJoey had the House Veneziana which was a chicken dish covered in a rich butter based sauce. FWJoey was pleased by his selection as well.

The prices here were incredibly reasonable - especially for the quality and quantity of the food. Additionally, you cannot beat the service we received from Enzo! He was fabulous! He is one of the reasons we will be going back. Palermo's serves beer and wine. We opted for a $15 bottle of pinot grigio that Enzo recommended and were happy with the selection. Our total bill for FWJoey and me was around $40 - which included one house salad, all the bread you can eat, two entrees and a bottle of wine. Now that is a good deal my friend!

Neither of us would recommend eating this heavy food too often, but if you are in the mood to indulge on fresh, never frozen Italian food, then head to the South side on Magnolia street. Hopefully, you will be as pleasantly surprised as we were! By the way - we did not save room for the homemade cannoli but Enzo eagerly endorsed its deliciousness!
