    Great pizza with a sweet sauce. Pasta dishes big and good. Always like the fresh bread basket. Waitress was very patient with a semi difficult party member. Will be back for more.

    We were seated for a while and no one stop by to take our orders. Table next to us came in after us. We waited on and already had their beverage. I finally spoke up to the hostess and said we have had no one stop by. Eventually our waiter came. He screwed up on the drink order. The food seems like it’s gone downhill. We have the eggplant Nonna and it was not the same from previous times.

    The BEST pizza. We drove 30-45 minutes to have dinner here. We hadn’t been to Palermo’s in awhile. Dinner today did not disappoint!

    Even though it was a busy Valentines Day, our service was excellent, this includes the busboys. We eat here often but this was the first time I ordered pork chops and I wasn’t disappointed. The two big chops were very tender and served in a flavorful sauce with red/green peppers and sliced potatoes. I’m looking forward to eating the other chop for dinner tonight. My husband ordered a pizza which are the best in Chicagoland in my opinion. The sweet sauce gets me every time.
