Great service and excellent food. This was my first time eating at Palermo's and I will certainly be back. The veal was perfect and I could cut it with my fork.

It was my first visit, and I was not disappointed. The starter bread was soft, hot with a tasty olive oil and seasoning sauce. We had the snapper and the 3 had made/stuffed pasta shells. Will be going back to explore the menu further.
