Palermo Trattoria

Best Italian food in central Virginia.

Old fashioned (as in great) atmosphere and service. Excellent food. We loved the pizza tonite, and have loved the salads, pasta and osso buco. Palermo is our spot for a family dinner, as well as for a romantic tour of Italy, 10 min. away from home

This may easily be the best Italian restaurant in Richmond. Starting with the elegant decour and ambiance, the service is stellar and wait staff is attentive and friendly. The portions ensure you don't leave hungry. They have an excellent assortment of appetizers and their house garlic bread, light and airy, is to die for! What a great experience! Would gladly go back.

This place gives off the vibes of one of those restaurants you see on a Gordon Ramsay show before he arrives and yells enough to fix it. My silverware was visibly dirty and when I asked for a replacement it was not clean either. To it's credit the food portions are Very generous and they try to offer more than the standard Italian fare. The server was friendly but the layout of the restaurant isn't great for the staff to see when they might be needed.

Very nice Italian restaurant with many traditional and unique dishes, obviously homemade. Ample portions and the service is friendly. Adequate parking and nice decor.
