    Ambience was perfect. Food taste as if it was frozen and then reheated. Steak was asked to be medium however it was welled down… Vegetables were not seasoned at all. 10-15mins later a glass jar of oil fell from the table across and splattered oil&glass onto my party. Waitress came and took payment while employees try to get the glass and oil up. After waiting literally 15 minutes the waitress nor manager came to check on our table or provide change from payment. If it wasn’t for the company, good conversation, salad, and bread Mother’s Day probably would’ve been a bust 🫤

    Amazing food as usual! The sautéed chicken is so delicious and my husband’s veal dish was wonderful as well. This is an incredible restaurant that has stood the test of time. Can’t wait to go back!

    Pizza was outstanding as usual. Service was not good. It was a slow night and constantly had to ask for water. Waitress came by too infrequently for a wine reorder.

    Have not been here in many years as we had moved to far west burbs. Coming back felt like "home". Service is excellent and professional. ..pasta very good. And of course, a full dining room on a wonderful Saturday evening. Everyone enjoying themselves. Palermos is an Italian dining institution in the Oak Lawn area.
