The story
Tucked away on Via Alfredo Casella, Bites has carved out a niche in Palermo’s burger scene with a menu that leans into unabashed indulgence. The Frama Twins, whose Palermo food tour landed them here, describe the burgers as “huge” and “food porn-worthy,” a reputation that clearly holds weight. The vibe is casual and trendy—an American-style pit stop that doesn’t skimp on theatrics.
Two creations steal the show. The Niagara delivers what the creators call a “burrata cascade,” while the venue’s namesake Palermo Food Porn burger piles on buffalo mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, and pistachio. According to the Frama Twins, the meat is “super tender and juicy.” Meanwhile, Italyfoodprnsicilia approves of the €15 per person giant platter, an overwhelming spread of fried treats, burgers, calzoncini, and more. It’s a short but punchy menu that proves Bites knows exactly what it’s doing.

At Bites, the Niagara burger steals the show with its bold, juicy build, earning raves for being a messy, must-eat triumph. The overall vibe is unpretentious and crave-worthy, delivering pure comfort with every bite.
“This burger is called Niagara because you have to break the burrata and it cascades down. Look at that burrata waterfall! It has a double beef patty, provola cheese, and pancetta coppata. The bread is a bit too toasted on top, but the meat looks rare and is really good. I can taste the burrata a lot, the pistachio pesto is there but I notice it less.”

Niagara
This burger is called Niagara because you have to break the burrata and it cascades down. Look at that burrata waterfall! It has a double beef patty, provola cheese, and pancetta coppata. The bread is a bit too toasted on top, but the meat looks rare and is really good. I can taste the burrata a lot, the pistachio pesto is there but I notice it less.
Palermo Food Porn
I chose this burger because it's named after our video. Inside: beef patty, lettuce, tomato, whole buffalo mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, mayonnaise, a drizzle of pesto, and pistachio granules. The meat is super tender and juicy, and the pistachio in this burger is incredible — it's the best part. The cheddar and bacon make it more savory than the Niagara. I think mine is better.
At Bites in Palermo, the €15 per person giant platter offers an overwhelming variety of fried treats, burgers, calzoncini, bruschettoni, hot wings and more — all highly approved.

Calzoncini Fritti con Mortadella e Pistacchio
These fried calzoncini filled with mortadella and pistachio are really good — I straight-up approve them. The mortadella and pistachio combo works perfectly.
Classic Burger
The classic burger on the platter is no joke — they don't mess around with the meat here. It's solid.
Bruschettoni
We also have four big bruschettoni — one with mortadella and grana cheese, another with cured ham and grana. That cured ham and grana combo is killer.
Hot Wings
To finish, there are some nice hot wings with a full sauce bar. They come with lots of fried stuff.
Mozzarelline
There are also fried mozzarelline among the fried stuff on the platter. They're part of the big mix.
