Broccolino
Pick from over 25 sauces (including squid ink!) for your pasta, with a choice of rigatoni, fusilli, pappardelle and all sorts of stuffed varieties. If you can’t decide on your topper, try the delicious Sicilian sauce (spicy red peppers, tomato and garlic) or the pesto with mushrooms and garlic. Portions are large and the bread homemade.

Bice
With branches all over the world, Bice is best known for its high-quality Italian cuisine. The homemade pastas (both fresh and dry) are exceptional: try the black fettuccini with shrimp or the spinach-and-ricotta ravioli with four-cheese sauce. There’s also a luscious risotto with artichoke and asparagus as well as several meat and fish choices. End it all with gelato, a crepe, mousse with pears or white chocolate semifreddo. Service is good; test it by asking for a table out back near the water.

Bella Italia
Located among Palermo Chico’s residential apartments is this tasty little Italian gem. Start with a cheese plate or olive ‘tasting’, then sink your teeth into the tagliolini with squid and scallops or the lemon ravioli with salmon. Treats like braised rabbit and grappa also line the menu. Bella Italia also has a café (República Árabe Siria 3330) just up the street on the next block, which serves similar fare and has cheaper prices.

Guido’s Bar
Looking very much out of place amongst the tall, fancy apartment buildings of Palermo Chico, this traditional eatery adds a splash of history and color to the neighborhood. It’s an Italian joint, so expect mostly pasta, pizza and risotto on the menu – though there are also a few sandwiches, omelets and soups. If the plethora of funky posters on the walls gives you visual overload, try to snag a sidewalk table and take in the peaceful greenery of the zoo across the street.

Mykonos
This Greek restaurant is a peaceful place…until they start breaking plates during their nightly dance shows. Beautiful murals transport you to the Mediterranean, as might the excellent tzatziki (cucumber and yogurt sauce) and spanakopita (spinach pastry). The lamb shish kebabs are also wonderful, but finish them off before you’re whisked away to the dance floor and go swinging out the front door. Not a place to come for serious conversation.
