The food is fine but overpriced for the quality. We've done fine dining elsewhere and have walked away with a $300 bill for 2 people and felt okay with it, that we got our money's worth in terms of portions and flavor. However this was not that experience in either regard. Do yourself a favor and get authentic Sicilian food elsewhere where you won't break the bank just to not leave hungry and the food will probably just as good if not better If you want the fancy restaurant vibe where you get only pretty good food for Michelin prices while eating it next to a shrine dedicated to Steve Jobs then this is the place for you but if you're a person reading a Google review thinking is this place for me? It probably isn't

Just because the menu is relatively expensive and the portions are small and nicely presented doesn’t mean it’s tasty food. I honestly don’t know where all the good reviews come from. The food was just not good, the sauce of our spaghetti tasted like ketchup. Also don’t get fooled by all the reviews saying it is an amazing location. They take you inside to a small room of 4 tables and have some old Mac computers for show. For a real Sicilian vibe and traditional & tasty food - go somewhere else.

During my recent visit to MEC Restaurant, the starters were not to my liking, but others who enjoy a fishy taste may appreciate them. The other courses were prepared well but nothing exceptional. The standout aspect of my experience was the professional and attentive service provided by the staff. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided great wine recommendations. I don't believe that the experience was worth the cost. MEC Restaurant may be a good choice for those looking for a restaurant with a nice atmosphere and attentive service, but I would recommend exploring other options in the area before making a final decision.

The food was outstanding, with each dish masterfully crafted using only the finest ingredients. Every bite was bursting with flavour. The excellent food, wine, service, and ambience made it an unforgettable night.

A unique restaurant in the heart of Palermo. The Apple museum with 4000 pieces in collection and gastronomic pleasure in one place! The restaurant is destined to get a Michelin star !!! An excellent cook! An impressive Apple collection, and a memory of the famous Steve Jobs!

Exquisite experience. The prefect dinner with professional staff. The jobs collection is also amazing.

Overall some of the food was great, some was style over substance; the wine list had some hits and some misses, the staff were very attentive however the restaurant is a bit overly fussy in both food, experience and presentation. It was fine, but you would expect a bit more than fine for the price point. Building itself is very cool.

Wow, what an incredible experience! Probably the best Michelin meal we had in Sicily. I’m not a big fan of Michelin restaurants that create pretty dishes, but the meal does not taste particularly good or blend together. However, MEC did an excellent job of elevating all these dishes. Everything was so delicious and well prepared. The restaurant itself is a museum for Apple, so it was incredible to sit in rooms with Apple computers dating back to the 70s. It was overall, an experience to remember.

Steve Jobs apple themed museum concept restaurant. Food and service was really great with very unique interior design. Great spot for a special occasion.

The staff was very attentive but nice and relaxed which is the perfect combination. The tempo of the tasting menu was great, the atmosphere calm, the food was good and the Steve Jobs exhibition was interesting.

Interesting Apple-themed (!) restaurant in the heart of Palermo. Beautiful interior, decent service and good but not mouth-watering food. Amazing wine selection that’s good value for money.

This was a strange restaurant - not sure if it caters to the Italian palette but I didn't enjoy it. It was definitely overpriced for what it was. The owner really loves Steve Jobs and built a museum around it and a restaurant. The service was quite stiff and they did the minimal job in explaining the dishes not sure if it's because they didn't feel comfortable with English (that's okay) I didn't love the food though

Amazing dinner paired with fantastic wines - couldn’t be happier with how easy they made bringing our infant!

In this original Michelin star restaurant you can try some amazing gastronomic Sicilian dishes in a Museum. Everything was perfect !

Without a doubt best fine dining experience in Palermo and service was perfect. Our sommelier also did a great job of offering regional wines that were to our palates after understanding how we wanted to enjoy them. I went with a la carte and tried the cuttle fish gamberi ravioli, seafood salad lasagne and red mullet that was their take on fish and chips. Ended with their road to Mexico dessert which was a pistachio mousse, pineapple and pina colada ice cream. Also had the beehive dessert which was flavours of citrus Bavarian cream, hazelnut crumble, honey biscuit and yogurt ice cream. The desserts were incredible.

Best restaurant ever. Excecution perfect from start to finish. Get the hommage to his grandmother as a starter!

Best meal we had in Sicily. Awesome tasting menu, delicious selection of Sicilian wines, Impeccable service, lovely people, great value for money. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Palermo.

Very classy and luxurious place. Be prepared to pay for atleast three to four dishes. Postive is that you get free tasters to start and finish. Food is meticously cooked and prepared. Can recommend the aubergine and cheese starter. Staff were super friendly and explained everything. Sommalier gave amazing wine tips and answered all questions. If you want a luxurious experience in Palermo, go here. It's also a Steve jobs museum.

An unforgettable dinning experience. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful if you have any queries about how to combine your meal with the right wine. Sicilian cuisine at its finest: revisitations of typical regional food and a great wine menu. The venue hast a very intimate atmosphere and is located in a stunning building. I recommend it unreservedly.

Not just food, an exquisite dining experience.

great food and great wine pairing! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Absolutely amazing restaurant. We have had a blast! Service: 5 stars Food: 5 stars We will definitely come back

Good food, good wines and good service but the price was way too much I think there are better restaurants in Palermo where you get better value for your money

(Translated by Google) The mec Palermo is a museum restaurant. The rooms are all different, one more beautiful than the other and each setting is the setting for creative dishes with an amazing flavor. Chef Carmelo Trentacosti amazes at every course. I went to the restaurant during a holiday in Palermo and I will definitely be back soon !! (Original) Il mec Palermo è un ristorante museo. Le sale sono tutte diverse una più bella dell’altra e ogni allestimento fa da cornice a piatti creativi dal sapore strepitoso. Lo chef Carmelo Trentacosti stupisce ad ogni portata. Sono stata al ristorante durante una vacanza a Palermo e sicuramente tornerò presto!!

(Translated by Google) New reality of catering in Palermo that has no competition. A perfect choice of taste regarding the location in a well-kept and well-designed prestigious site. An atmosphere of true relaxation and estrangement from the increasingly chaotic city. Impeccable and coordinated service. The cuisine of the chef Trentacosti is absolutely noteworthy. You can feel the careful study behind every proposal that is never over the top and perhaps at times even too balanced towards neutral. Perfectly processed raw materials and aesthetically excellent dishes. All this suggests an important growth path which I will peek again to test the different seasonal choices and fully understand the philosophy of the approach to cooking suggested by this brilliant chef. (Original) Nuova realtà della ristorazione a Palermo che non ha concorrenza. Una scelta di gusto perfetta riguardo la collocazione in un sito di pregio curato e ben progettato. Una atmosfera di vero relax e di straniamento dalla città sempre più caotica. Servizio impeccabile e coordinato. La cucina dello chef Trentacosti è assolutamente degna di nota. Si avverte lo studio accurato dietro ogni proposta mai sopra le righe e forse a tratti anche troppo bilanciata verso il neutro. Materie prime perfettamente lavorate e piatti esteticamente di fattura eccellente. Il tutto lascia presagire un percorso importante di crescita cui farò nuovamente capolino per testare le diverse scelte stagionali e comprendere appieno la filosofia dell'approccio alla cucina suggerita da questo brillante chef.

(Translated by Google) Suggestive environment. You are welcomed and accompanied during the meal with attention and description of the dish. The staff is courteous and discreet. The chef's proposal is original, with attention to detail and interesting, but even with the à la carte menu you can have an excellent taste experience. The wine list is varied, the cocktails offered are good. Value for money adequate (Original) Ambiente suggestivo. Vieni accolta e accompagnata durante il pasto con attenzione e descrizione del piatto. Il personale è cortese e discreto. La proposta dello chef è originale, curata nei particolari ed interessante, ma anche col menù alla carta si riesce a fare un'ottima esperienza gustativa. La carta dei vini è assortita, buoni i cocktail proposti. Rapporto qualità prezzo adeguato

Al mio arrivo sono stato spiazzato, niente all'ingresso mi faceva pensare di essere arrivato al ristorante, poi ho visto il campanello, ho suonato e le luci si sono accese. Piacevole sorpresa. Ristorante sicuramente di livello sopra la media. Servizio attentissimo e di altissimo livello (il doppio superlativo non è casuale). Location bellissima che rende onore all'impostazione del marketing di chi deve prenotare, sicuramente non si rimane delusi. Cucina di buon livello ma che non raggiunge i superlativi di location e servizio. Carta dei vini molto ampia, varia e curata ma suggerisco maggiore attenzione per i vini siciliani a tirature limitate. Giudizio finale più che ottimo

Great place, nice food with ups and downs but overall worth the money, super friendly staff, good selection of wines, nice setting (very classy in an old palazzo amidst „historic“ apple computers - cool vibe!). Best dish: „melanzane amuttanata“
