About this place Nautilus

Nautilus is located on Via Bara all'Olivella, a street of cultural significance: the Museo Archeologico Regionale is at one end, the Teatro Massimo (Sicily's magnificent 19th-century opera house) a short walk away. The bar is gay-friendly rather than exclusively gay — in the centro storico, where venue categories blur and social mixing is higher, an explicitly gay bar would face more social friction. Instead Nautilus operates as a welcoming mixed venue with a strongly LGBTQ+-positive atmosphere. The aperitivo is one of the best in the centro storico: Sicilian wines, local snacks, generous servings. Occasional queer arts and cultural events are hosted in coordination with local LGBTQ+ associations. The bar is open throughout the day, unusual for Palermo's nightlife-oriented venues, which makes it useful for afternoon meetings and early evening drinks.

Super fresh fish you can choose from at the counter, very tasty and beautifully presented dishes! We tipped very well. Highly recommended for fish lovers!

Fresh fish, beautifully cooked. We had several appetizers and first courses: everything was delicious, and I recommend the sardine meatballs because they were perfect! The fried fish was also excellent! The staff was helpful and super friendly. I'll be back to try the rest!!

A summer restaurant with outdoor seating only. It consists of a kitchen and a restroom. There's an outdoor counter with a fish stall. The food was well-prepared, and you can easily choose from freshly caught fish. You sit outside, right next to the road. It was fortunate that not too many cars drove by late in the evening.
