Corona Trattoria

"Corona Trattoria, nestled in the heart of Palermo, is not just a restaurant but a continuation of a storied family legacy steeped in the culinary traditions of Sicily. Founded in 2015 by Gianni Corona, alongside his wife Angela and sons Orazio and Alessandro, the trattoria is a culmination of a lifelong passion for seafood and traditional Sicilian recipes. This passion has its roots in "Piccolo Napoli," the historic restaurant in Borgo Vecchio, where Gianni honed his craft under the tutelage of his father Orazio, mother Rosetta, and brother Giuseppe, making the family's establishment a city landmark. Corona Trattoria prides itself on its solid seafood cuisine, a testament to an ancient family memory. The restaurant continues the tradition of seeking out and enhancing quality products, always strictly adhering to tradition. The goal is to ensure that every customer experiences the finest fish and the pleasure of the table, thereby continuing the legacy of providing exceptional culinary experiences to the people of Palermo and beyond. This endeavor at Corona Trattoria blends seamlessly with the detailed attention to quality and tradition noted by reviewers. The trattoria’s commitment to using only the freshest seafood from Terrasini, near the Gulf of Castellammare, and its carefully curated wine list featuring both natural and traditional Sicilian wines, echoes the family's dedication to offering the best. I strongly recommend the squid ink pasta with cuttlefish and bottarga: a nod to innovation and tradition, much like the restaurant itself. Other must-try pasta are subliminal Spaghetti alle Vongole and Casarecce with swordfish. Involtino di spatola and the Zuppa di Pesce (fish soup) are a standout choice. "
