Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Was very nice, he was such a humble persone, welcoming and the food was very nice."
"Si chiama "Acquolina in bocca", rosticceria palermitana esistente da 45 anni. Luogo rinomato che si affaccia per lo più sulla via Oreto, per me e mia madre era tappa d'obbligo tutte le volte che venivamo a Palermo. Si gusta il classico "pani ca' miusa" (panino con la milza) specialità palermitana. Ma c'è anche il panino con porchetta, cardi e broccoletti fritti e l'altro classico palermitano: panino con panelle. Ottimi tutti, locale rustico, personale cortese e prezzi bassi. Con una trentina di posti a sedere é un ottimo punto di ristoro per chi desidera fare una sosta mangiando qualcosa di diverso e speciale prima di ripartire."
"il miglior panino pane panelle o pane ca meusa che ci sia a palermo"
"Ottima friggitoria tipica palermitana, trovi meusa (milza), panelle e cazzilli (crocchè) tutto buonissimo e fatti al momento"
"Cibo buonissimo , panini con milza eccellente. Mi sono piaciute le crocchette, fatte al momento e mi hanno ricordato quelle di mia mamma. Titolare gentilissimo , Prezzo qualità rapporto giusto."
"Non posso dire che sia una panineria storica perché non sono abbastanza anziano per confermarlo, ma negli ultimi vent'anni confermo che ci sono entrato un po' di volte. Oggi dopo il classico panino con la milza ho voluto assaggiare il panino con la porchetta (con cipolla fritta aromatizzata e piastrato) e devo dire che non si può descrivere. Per potere capire quello che riesce a farti provare al palato è necessario morderlo quindi indescrivibile. Simpatia e cortesia sono di casa."
"Una tappa per noi molto gradita ogni volta che ci troviamo a Palermo. Lo zio Totò era in numero uno, ma oggi mi ha fatto molto piacere trovare la moglie e il nipote, tra l'altro quest'ultimo ci ha fatto un panino con la porchetta al di sopra delle nostre aspettative (degno di zio Totò). Panelle fantastiche. Consigliatissimo se vi trovate a Palermo."
"La semplicità nel buon gusto, nei sapori tradizionali, nelle bontà siciliane, con una milza eccezionale e una porchetta artigianale altrettanto fantastica. Non puoi non fermarti a mangiare uno dei loro fantastici panini. il migliore street food della Sicilia!!! C O N S I G L I A T I S S I M O."
