LOVEI went here for a memorial celebration of a lovely man. This was his favorite restaurant and I can see why. The food was excellent, as was the service. The buffet luncheon was wonderful. I liked the chicken, loved the potatoes and perfectly cooked vegetables, and of course the pasta, a lovely tortellini in cream sauce. The dessert buffet was epic. I especially loved the intensely chocolate cake.LIKEI really appreciated the covered open patio seating. As someone still trying to avoid Covid and all the other viruses floating around, the airflow helped me feel safer in a crowd of a few hundred people. I will return when I'm in the neighborhood.

Such a cute restaurant! Very unsuspecting from the outside and it's in such a random location, but once you step inside it's like being transported to Italy. I'm not sure if they have indoor seating as everything seems to be outside in a covered patio situation. However we went during winter and it was plenty warm without a jacket. Once you're seated they promptly drop off water, bread, butter, and a heaping dish of Parmesan cheese. There's also olive oil and balsamic vinegar already on the table. Service was good and food comes out quickly. We started with the Quattro platter and it was very good. I do think the calamari and zucchini needed extra salt but that's my personal preference. I had the carbonara and boy was there a lot of it. The sauce was creamy, pasta aaldente to perfection, and the small pieces of bacon were very plentiful. I tried my partners dish which was the crab raviolis in pink sauce which were also delicious. I will definitely be returning!

First off, the decor and the inners of the restaurant were warm and welcoming. Great spot along the creek and you forgot you were near downtown.The staff was fantastic. Very welcoming and so helpful navigating the menu. The recommendations and paired wine were spot on.Last but not least, the food and wine were great. This is our new spot for Italian in San Jose. Love this spot. So glad we found it.

Wanted to update my review since it's been a while. Palermo will always be a consistent restaurant in our rotation. We still live close by and love coming here for special occasions. We stopped in for valentines 2025 and made a reservation. It was BUSY but the service was still great. Recently they also added a covered patio with a heater inside so the cold winter months don't affect your experience here. The food was great and my husband's short rib was DELICIOUS. It's a seasonal item but should be around for another 30 days or so, definitely a must try. If you're a wine person I definitely recommend bringing a bottle from home and paying the corkage to enjoy your favorite wine with some great Italian food.

We dined here on Valentine's Day and absolutely loved the food! The Alfredo sauce was rich and flavorful without being overly heavy. We had hoped to order pizza, but it was unavailable due to the holiday. However, the complimentary bread more than made up for it, it was incredibly fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside. The restaurant itself is spacious and can accommodate many guests, and the staff is exceptionally welcoming, providing fast and attentive service. We'll definitely be returning to try the pizza! Highly recommend this place!

My leftover tutto mare actually tasted even better hence the 4+ star. I'm not sure why people are complaining about parking as there's plenty in the overflow lot. Food wise, I think it's better than average to good.Executive Summary:+ Very large party friendly and good customer service (5/5)+ Spacious dining areas with nice decor for every holiday (5/5)+ Vegan menu and gluten free pizza looks great (5/5)+ Customizable options such as side of pasta instead of veggies (5/5)+ Quattro appetizer hits the mark if you like fried goodies but could use a hint of salt on the calamari (4/5)What could be better:- Tutto mare customized with wine sauce was a little bland at first but the abundance of seafood was delightful (3/5)- Wife ordered seafood linguine that was OK but she had to add more peppers and cheese to make it tasty (3/5)I think we ordered wrongly on our entrees. I probably could've added salt, more Parmesan cheese and peppers to my wine sauce for a little more flavor. I did go off menu a bit since the tutto mare originally comes with marinara sauce. However, this place hits the mark on everything else. I'll certainly give it another try.

I attended a Christmas lunch with a group of about 35 people and loved the restaurant! first of all, the atmosphere was amazing, good job on the decor. Secondly, our waiters were amazing: very attentive, polite, and friendly, everyone loved the lunch! thirdly, the food itself was delicious, the wine was good, and the dessert were breathtaking. I'll be back when I crave italian food :)

Palermo is one of those places i would drive by and note in my head I should check that out. After so long of driving by and saying next time me and my friends implusively were like let's go to Palermo finally! I will say it was 100% worth the calamari was very good exactly what you want when you think Calamari. The inside was very pretty and nicely decorated for the holiday season. All of the food was so goood it has all of those authentic tastes that you're looking for when you think italian food. The service was very good til it got super busy but that's understandable but it took awhile to leave because of that

This place has a lot of seating and has a very nice Christmas atmosphere with a bunch of pretty decorations. I think this place is a great place for big groups or a date. It's located near a park and some industrial buildings. The service is good, and the workers are friendly.I got the Fresh Dungeness Crab Ravioli. I thought the serving size for it was smaller than expected especially given its price. The ravioli was thin and soft. The sauce was creamy and delicious. I finished it pretty fast. We had a big group but I appreciated how they served all of our dishes together at the same time. It was a great experience coming here and I would come back again.
