Palermos

Ordered to go and I have never done this for Palermo'. It did not disappoint the food was excellent the service superior. Portions were enough for lunch the next day! I have been looking for a great food experience and Palermo's satisfied that for me! You already know I'll will go back!

If you like Venticello's in Benicia you'll like Palmeros as well. They're sister restaurants! I think of Venticello's as the older sister. A bit more refined. Palmeros is more casual and fun. The younger sis.A lot of their menu items are the same. So if you live closer to Palmeros and don't want to deal with downtown Benicia parking or driving as far it's a great option to consider. Of the menu items that differ Palmeros offers pizza and calzones. They also do not offer some of the more high end Venticello's dishes like the steak. Palmeros does not offer brunch. I like that Palmeros has a special menu. We tried the butternut squash ravioli from there. Delicious! The dessert menu is the same and even the bread and accompanying dip was probably the same. Service was prompt and friendly! The location is a lot more casual. You're in the same plaza as a gas station. So it's a more low key meal. The only negative I have is I noticed the front door was opened the entire time. I can see us coming back here for a quality Italian dinner!

This is our favorite Italian place in the area. Last 2 times I've asked Chef to go off menu. I've gotten Calamari steak on linguine but with the wine sauce they use for White Clams. So good. Food is always excellent. Love the dipping gravy for the bread. The house salad dressing is delicious.Tonight we had a fantastic server, Chris. He was very attentive, pleasant and efficient. Both my wife and I enjoyed his service and personality. Good job Chris!

Our new neighborhood favorite! This place is just a stones throw from our house! don't know why we forgot about it but we found ourselves here for dinner on a Sunday evening. Everything was delicious, Service was awesome and the prices are not bad! Dinner for 3 one glass of wine, one dessert all for about $100 Tuesday night there is no corkage fee! I'll have to remember that! That is a plus

This is strictly take out. Ordered a $27 seafood pasta dish. It was not only small but the Alfredo was a watered down cream sauce. The 2 scallops were probably the best part of the dish. Because of the bland cream sauce the bell peppers took over the whole dish. So disappointed. I get more seafood from PHO and cheaper. Come on guys. You used to be good. The service from the girl at the front was nice. But I requested butter would she humbly obliged and then totally forgot. I knew I should have checked the order but the bag was tied and a tight knot and didn't have time to work on it since it was so hot outside. I'm sorry guys but Zio Freados and Bambinos got you beat.

We love Palermo's for take out. Just had the Chicken Saltimboca and Gnocchi dinners. Absolutely delicious!Salads were great too with creamy Italian dressing.

Delicious Shrimp Rosoto cooked perfectly , French Onion soup lacking onions , Chicken Parmigiana to die for , Dessert Tiramusu & Homemade Gelato not to disappoint

Our favorite restaurant by far!Excellent food, cozy atmosphere, and fantastic service! We highly recommend Palermo's!

It was a Friday night, so we made a reservation at 6:30p for 5 people. We showed up a few minutes early and saw they had sat a walk in party of 5 at the table we had a reservation for and the restaurant was now full. The hostess said a table would be available in a "few minutes." 40 minutes later we were sat and ordered our food. The food took at least 30 minutes to come out after being ordered. When the food arrived it was delicious. However, there was no attempt to correct the reservation snafu other than a "we are really sorry."

Hidden gem. Excellent food and great service. Casual strip mall location but a great place to have wonderful Italian cuisine and a very reasonable price. The pesto shrimp was delicious and serving size enough to take some home. All entrees include soup or salad. I would highly recommend this restaurant for your causal Italian date night. I think they even have one night, maybe Tuesdays, with no corkage fee (check with them to make sure).
