My family and I happen to be in the area when a quick Google search led me to Palermo No. 2. I'm not gonna lie at first we were a little hesitant but decided to stay. Well, I'm glad we did because the food was so good. My husband had the baked lasagna, I had the Palermo special and my kids had baked pasta as well. We loved it. The service was good. The place is small and there was only one waitress. If you go during peak dinner hours be prepared to wait and the place is small. Other that definitely recommend.

Great food. Make sure u ask for melted mozzarella on your spaghetti 🍝 😋

It is a small restaurant where the waitress seemed to know the customers, who must be regulars. That is a good sign. It was my first time, and I went in around 5:30 on Saturday. It took a while to get noticed even though I was seated. I got the dish most mentioned, Palermo Specialty pasta with vegetables and chicken. The vermicelli pasta was American dry box type with smooth surfaces, instead of imported Italian pasta with rougher finish, nor was it fresh pasta. The added chicken was on the dry side. The dish was underwhelming to average. The bean soup was likewise mediocre, and the much touted knot bread was OK. The next time I go back, I will try linguine con vongole, or with clams. The city of Palermo is by the coast of Sicily, so I should have focused on seafood dishes. (Edited 2 days later -- the 2 day old leftover I had for lunch was pretty good. I'll up it to 4 stars).

Food tasted great. We had the spaghetti with meat sauce. Garlic knots and salad were awesome. All for $17.00. good value.

Food is awesome, but the service is why we keep coming for years. Is a family run restaurant and the ambiance is great. We love the pizza, we ask for thin crust with extra garlic. YUMM!! But favorite is the pasta we get the Palermo’s Special. Pasta with lots of veggies and chicken, the sauce is only good quality olive oil with garlic! Highly recommend this place! It was soo good I forgot to take pictures.

We stumbled on this place by accident. We had a bit of a wait, but the food was delicious. There was only one waitress and she was a bit slow, but that was okay because she was very kind. They do not serve alcohol so we bought a bottle and drank it there. We have been back three times and live in yorba linda. We have ordered different dishes. I really like the tomato basil with mozzarella balls

Had been wanting to try this place for years. Would normally always leave because it was too busy. It’s a very small place. Finally got to try it & Fell in love with it!! The bolognese, lasagne and spaghetti and meatballs were delicious. The mini pizza lunch special is also great. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich and meatball sandwich today and loved both. Can’t wait to go back and try something new ☺️
