Every Friday we tell you about a Simi Valley restaurant we think you may want to take the time to check out this weekend. Today’s pick: Polermo Italian Restaurant.

There are a number of Simi Valley Italian restaurants to choose from, but the Palermo Italian Restaurant doesn’t pretend to be anything its not. It doesn’t have fancy, hard-to-pronounce dishes, but sticks with the classic Italian dishes that we’ve all heard of and grown up with. If you grew up anywhere near an Italian American family, you will recognize every dish on the menu, and will feel like collapsing when you see and smell the dishes once they hit your table.

Classic meals include Stuffed shells, Canelloni, Fettuccini Alfredo, Linguini and Red or Clear Clam Sauce and Gnoochi. You can also get veal in a number of dishes as well as many different pasta dishes and, of course, Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parmigiana. Feel like a pizza? No problem. Palermo’s can hook you up with the pizza of your choice. This is one Italian restaurant that has not only the dishes, but the atmosphere that everyone loves to find in a classic Italian restaurant.
