9.5/10Delicious and imaginative menu, in a beautifully curated and modern dining area. Excellent food and service, at a reasonable price. Quiet on the night we went, but it is right in the middle of the off-season.

10/10Delicious food, welcoming friendly service, when we decided to share something me starters they brought it divided onto 2 plates. It was all fabulous, with a welcoming aperitif included. Lovely evening.

5/10Might be that we didn’t review the menu close enough prior to our arrival. We walked past two vibrant local restaurants with people waiting outside to be seated just to find we were the first to arrive at Ferrio at 8:10 for an 8:15 reservation. We felt rushed to order and chose a raw salmon appetizer that was okay. We then ordered two entrees of which both we barely edible. The Salmon Ravioli was cold and the Sardine pasta smelled and tasted like the sardines had been set out in the sun way too long. To be fair I don’t believe we were charged for the Sardine pasta as only two bites were consumed.

Ci dispiace che la cena non sia stata di vostro gradimento. Siete arrivati per primi ma successivamente il locale si è riempito. Il nostro non è uno street food ma un ristorante, i clienti solitamente si accomodano più tardi. Per quanto riguarda le due portate principali, i nostri piatti sono cucinati espressi, cioè al momento, è molto improbabile che possano essere arrivati freddi. Gli stessi, tra l’altro, sono stati serviti anche ai vostri vicini di tavolo, nello stesso tempo, e loro hanno fatto i complimenti per entrambe le portate che erano esattamente uguali alle vostre. Vorremmo farle notare, inoltre, che Il piatto scelto dalla Signora non era una pasta con le sarde ma una pasta con ragù di calamaro, salsa di pomodoro, olive taggiasche e capperi di Pantelleria. Quindi è impossibile che ci potevano essere delle sarde esposte al sole per lungo tempo. Nella stessa serata, per fortuna, abbiamo avuto una recensione, che può essere letta a seguito della vostra, che ci ha valutato con il massimo dei voti.

10/10The best meal and restaurant experience we had in 3 weeks in Sicily. While food is spectacular, the owners and the staff are friendly, polite and lovely to chat with. If you are in Palermo, you MUST visit this little gem! You will have a great experience and leave happy! Thanks again Antonio and James

5/10Service was indifferent, .Food quality would have improved without the drain smell. Not a particularly welcoming experience overall.
Ristorante Ferro • Owner
Siamo davvero spiacenti per la vostra esperienza. Per quanto riguarda i gas di scarico, il dehors è in pieno centro storico e purtroppo ogni tanto può capitare che passi una macchina che non sia apposto. Abbiamo eseguito il servizio come facciamo sempre sia per voi che per tutti gli altri clienti del locale. Pensiamo ci possa essere stata un’incomprensione iniziale, poiché avendo prenotato un tavolo per tre persone alle 21:00 ed essendovi presentati in 2 vi abbiamo semplicemente detto che avreste potuto avvertire perché avremmo sistemato diversamente la sala, dato che poi alcuni posti sono rimasti bloccati e inutilizzati. Ci dispiace nuovamente.

9/10The food was magnificent. The salad starter in particular. The only problem was that the main courses were all warm and not hot. The plates were not hot either. The taste of the food was fantastic, just should have been hotter.

Grazie mille 😌

10/10This is an amazing place, the best food experience we had in Palermo. The ambiance is nice and peaceful. The food is excellent, with rich taste and beautiful presentation, and respecting sicilian tradition with modernity. Octopus, fish, meat... all is perfectly cooked. A must try restaurant.

10/10We decided to go to a special restaurant on our last evening in Palermo. So happy that we opted for Ferro! Everything about our experience was first class - from the welcoming Aperol spritz! The service is excellent, the food (& wine), absolutely delicious and the ambience just perfect. Thank you to the team at Ferro for an amazing final evening in Palermo.

3/10Ridiculous service. Owners chatting away in the corner, not paying attention to their customers. Waited 20 minutes before even being served bread! Gave us a free Spritz at the beginning without even asking us (we dont drink). Food took over half an hour to arrive per course. Sauce was missing from my beef dish. They asked for my card to be tapped at the machine without telling me what the total bill was. Food was BLAND. I came because of the decent reviews. So disappointed! AVOID!

You sat down at 8.15pm and went out at 9.30pm having a three-course dinner: appetizers, first course, second course. We are a Slow Food, not a Fast Food. We offer the aperitif free to customers, but we don't force anyone to drink it just say "no, thank you". In the beef fillet, as described in the menu, there is no sauce, but only a decoration with a reduction of blackberries. In the menu, there are the prices, and if they are not adequate, not we are offended if the customer decides to go to dinner at a place that is more suited to his budget. If a customer disputes something during service, we are always ready to try to remedy it and leave him happy. But when we clear away the empty plates and we hear "delicious..delicious", we do not expect to find a bad and very offensive review on our service. You have been attracted by the positive reviews from customers who appreciated our work as a demonstration of our commitment and seriousness. Instead, you invite people to AVOID US. What should we do? Close?

9.5/10Wonderful food - full of flavour, generous servings. Service was excellent - welcome drink on arrival, good wine recommendations, friendly, professional, attentive but never intrusive. Good location, just a minute away from the mayhem of Via Maqueda.

10/10Excellent menu options and perfectly executed. The limited hours of 20:00 to 22:30 suggests a single seating with a leisurely pace to enjoy your courses and conversations, Sicilian style. No rush.

10/10Very good restaurant. Seafood oriented. Short but good wine list. We split a pasta with swordfish, tomatoes, asparagus…, and had two mains, one tuna and the other beff tenderloin. Two desserts. One bottle of Planeta Etna Rosso. Total was $125 Euros. We would eat there again.
