Palermo Cucina

This is one of the cutest places on Lonsdale for a nice Italian dish. We had the classic pizza and the mushroom pasta for dinner. My favorite was the clams for appetizer. Absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is very calm and the interior design is delightful. I think the service can be a little faster and more elaborate. But overall, a great experience!

Delicious meal on a Tuesday evening. Arrived at 7:30pm and got a lovely outside patio table and watched the sunset. $15 pastas on Tuesdays! My partner had the lamb ragu pasta and I had the Mediterranean pizza. Both served piping hot and full of flavour.

Comparing to other Italian places, the price is mostly the same and high but the quality of the food is just okay. We had to wait for a long time for a waiter to walk around to ask for water! The eggplant was delicious and wine was good. They had live music and dance for weekend nights, enjoyable . Entrée bread was not fresh AT ALL!

I was introduced to this place by a friend and I enjoyed their food. They’re known for their delish Neopolitan pizza and pasta. We started with the deep fried calamari and had the prosciutto pizza with fresh arugula. The calamari came with slightly grilled red peppers which was a nice change. The sauce has a bit of a kick to it. It didn’t taste too greasy but a little too much of batter. The pizza was cooked in a wood fired pizza oven. The menu is one and the same for both lunch and dinner. There’s a decent selection for vegetarians. Note they’re only open for lunch from Wednesdays to Sundays. Closed Mondays. Service was prompt. Great ambience and clean place. Parking is on the street. Be aware of the 1 hour parking limits except the side streets which is 2 hr max.

Lovely, lively local restaurant. My husband and I went at 6, the sunshine streamed through the windows and lit the space cheerfully. It was extremely busy! When we called ahead they warned that they do not take reservations and that they were at a peak time but since we weren't in a hurry we went anyway. When we arrived we were lucky and three tables were being cleared, all of which were immediately filled. The food was delicious! We ordered the 3 meatball appetizer: generously portioned, nicely seasoned and the sauce was amazing. Followed by the pepperoni pizza and salsiccia pizzas - the pepperoni was fresh and light with a good balanced taste. The salsiccia was a standout! We ended up with enough pizza to take home roughly half of each. Afterwards I had to treat myself to the chocolate panna cotta, which was rich, thick, creamy, and just a bit tangy - in other words perfect! I almost forgot to mention the free house foccacia, served with oil and balsamic, nice and fresh and light. We also used it to wipe the last of the sauce from the meatball appy! I enjoyed a sicilian sunset martini, which was fruity and fun, followed by taking a chance on a glass of the house white wine. I've been disappointed before and so I was really pleased to find out that their house wine was actually very nice! All together, bill came to $100.90 before tip and I am now in food coma! Oh, one other thing, they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. We caught "Tom & Georgina Arntzen", not really my cup of tea, but pleasant enough. The musical act is posted on their Facebook page and they seem to have many different acts coming through. Altogether I highly recommend this place!

What makes this place work is the food! The pesto chicken pasta was velvety and creamy, and the rigatoni sausage ragu had a satisfying, meaty sauce. The Salsiccia pizza was piquant. There was confusion about happy hour rates which was solved promptly , hence the three stars. The food deserves four. The decor is an overlap between the energy of summer and the moodiness of fall.

Came in for dinner, the place was preety busy when we got there, but when we were seated and ordered got preety empty fast The drinks came in preety fast and so is the calmary which was ok, but we had to wait quite a while for food to arrive, only got our mains when we asked what is going on. And still we got 2 dIshes out of 3 which kind of sucks when everybody but one person gets theIr food. Looked like they forgot about order they told us because they were busy but that was not the case as the placed was almost empty when we were waiting for food The lamb ragu was ok nothing out of the ordinary, pizza was good nothing exeptional. Also minor part but does add to our overall expirence we didnt get the Complimentary bread At the end the gave us a free teramisu which was preety good and im assuming the owner Apologize to because they had a lot of employees training Overall the food i would say is 6.5/10 Service 4/10 They did try to do somthing on their own Initiative which what makes it a 3 star review and not 1 Vegetarian options: They had alot of vegetarian options on the menu Kid-friendliness: Pasta is allway kids friendly No alfredo sauce!! Parking: Alot of street parking

I don't eat pizza often but this is been an excellent find. Fantastic piece set and we will be back! Friendly staff and great service.

This is a must stop when you are in North Vancouver. The food is amazing, the service is top drawer, the restaurant is extremely clean. Every meal that we have tried has been cooked to perfection and the flavour will keep you coming back for more. This is my second visit this week. Excellent!!! Bravo

Nice location with friendly atmosphere. People were nice and the service was good. The food was just okay and could be better but it’s still worth the visit. They offer special promotion on Tuesdays
