We've been coming here for years. My kids love their pepperoni pizza and I always order the radiatore pasta for myself. That pasta dish is my favorite meal!

I really love this place and tonight was especially wonderful because of a server named Neemah. I've been to this place many times and I truly love the food.... But the server was top notch tonight I was having issues with the Alfredo. honestly it was an easy fix ... But I cringe when I have to send anything back.. But Neemah truly was phenomenal ..She has a skill that cannot be taught you just are gifted with it .. And that quality is actually caring about people and their experience... And she was determined And executed a wonderful dinner being able to mediate any issue from the kitchen to the table... Thank you again for a successful dinner. Thank you again Neemah... Palermo you have a great staff..... And I can tell you take care of your kitchen or if there's a kitchen manager. I'm not sure how you guys work. Everybody seems to be on the same page and that is your customers leave happy... And that tells a lot about a business.... From the owners to the management ,to the kitchen to the servers........ You don't know how happy I was tonight. I've reviewed a few restaurants the past month and they were hot mess. I know I can always come here and I don't have to worry about having a bad night...

Updated Review: Went in and dined in on 06/08/2024. Service was friendly, attentive (they had a lot of tables filled and a couple of private events in the banquet hall). The food was good and came out on pretty good timing in between courses. The drinks were okay in taste but could have been a bit stronger. Appetizers and salad were fresh and delicious, and pizza was hot, fresh, and delicious. **************************************** Good pizza and very friendly service at the pick-up/take out section. Would recommend.

Stepping into Palermo's on 95th is like being transported to a lively Italian family gathering, bustling with warmth and joy. The ambiance immediately wraps you in nostalgia, reminiscent of old-world Italian charm. However, amidst the lively atmosphere, a couple of notable aspects affected the overall experience. The noise level, while expected in a busy and vibrant restaurant, was a bit overwhelming. Conversations merged into a symphony of voices, making it challenging to engage in quiet conversation. Additionally, the mini spotlights directly over the tables slightly inhibited the ambiance, casting a stark light that detracted from the cozy, inviting feel one would expect in such a setting. On a bustling Friday night, patience is a virtue, but unfortunately, the service was slower than anticipated. While the staff was friendly, the delays were quite noticeable, impacting the overall dining experience. Now, onto the culinary highlights! The pizza was a standout, boasting a perfect crust and the sweetest sauce I've encountered on the South Side. Each bite was a testament to Palermo's dedication to authentic flavors and quality ingredients. The pasta options were seemingly endless and bursting with robust, authentic Italian flavors. It was evident that each dish was crafted with care and expertise. The menu truly offers a tantalizing array of options for pasta lovers, ensuring that every preference and craving is met with flavorful satisfaction. From classic favorites to unique combinations, the variety was impressive, and the flavors were undeniably delicious. Despite the minor setbacks in ambiance and service, the culinary offerings at Palermo's on 95th are where this establishment truly shines. The flavors evoke memories of Italy, delivering an authentic taste that is sure to satisfy any Italian cuisine enthusiast. If you're willing to overlook the noise and exercise patience during peak times, Palermo's offerings are well worth the visit for a taste of genuine Italian comfort food.

This has been one of our go to places over the years living in Chicago. After five years living in Tennessee, we made a point of eating here during this visit. It was a pleasure to see that absolutely nothing had changed. I ordered my usual, Cioppino. Theirs is definitely the best this side of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. My wife ordered the Veal Picante, which was very tender and delicious. As always the service was on point. Our visit brought back a lot of great dining memories.

The food was 3 the pasta was over cooked the marina or red sauce with clams was the worst I ever had. I do not know what spice they put it was not paired Well the taste was so bad I did. Not eat it. The pasta with beans was delicious, the grilled calamari's weee accompaniment with bell orange papers and black olives this is a new for me to have grilled calamari but not bad the eggplant Parmasan was ok but once again the spaghetti was well done not Al dente the marinara was 2 thumbs down. We also had spaghetti with a huge meat ball. The portions were very generous The service was great at the very beginning but we had to hunt for our server to get our check we came with a child and I think the service should be quicker because children can only sit still for short periods of time The ambiance was so loud that you could not hear the music playing on the back ground the tables are way to close together I was elbow to elbow with the next people sitting The ambiance was way too busy I did like the fact they sat us with out reservations Our service was very accommodating and very friendly
