Residenti contro turisti: quanto ci fidiamo davvero delle recensioni online?

Ciao a tutti!

Quante volte vi è capitato, in viaggio, di scegliere un posto dove mangiare con recensioni altissime, trovandovi poi nel classico locale "acchiappa-turisti" a mangiare male e pagare il triplo?

Stiamo facendo una piccola ricerca proprio su questo: come scegliamo davvero dove andare a mangiare e quanto ci fidiamo di quello che leggiamo online. Ci interessa un punto che spesso viene sottovalutato: perché i gusti di chi vive in una città (i "local") sono così diversi da quelli di chi ci passa solo per un weekend?

Se avete due minuti, ci dareste una mano enorme compilando e condividendo questo brevissimo questionario:

https://forms.gle/AJsFbd9KWQ2mGpZ68

Due info veloci:

- Il sondaggio è anonimo e si finisce in meno di 5 minuti.

- Non servono dati sensibili: la mail è opzionale solo se volete ricevere una mail a ricerca conclusa.

Grazie a tutte le persone che decideranno di collaborare!

Halal food

I’m visiting Palermo next week and I was wondering what are halal options in Palermo? I would also like to try some traditional Italian food but I have concerns if the vegan food is prepared separately from non-vegan (for example arancinas), or adding wine to pasta… Any recommendations are appreciated!

International students in Palermo: how hard is it to find a job without speaking Italian?

Hi everyone,

I’m coming to Palermo next fall for my master’s studies, and I wanted to ask about the job market for international students in Palermo and nearby cities.

I keep hearing that it is very difficult to find work specially if you do not speak Italian well, and I wanted to hear from people who actually live there or have studied there. How realistic is it to find part-time work while studying, especially for someone who is not fluent in Italian yet?

I would really appreciate any honest advice about:

  • Part-time job opportunities for international students
  • Whether English is enough for any jobs
  • How important Italian is in daily life and work
  • Job prospects in Palermo compared to nearby cities

Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experience.

Need help figuring out where to buy a gold cornicello

Hi! I’m visiting the city next week and I want to buy a high quality gold cornicello necklace for my daughter and I (to honor our Sicilian ancestry). Thought it would be an awesome thing to get but I’m having trouble figuring out where to find one ( Gemini has sent options but they seem to be high end watch stores that don’t appear to have this type of jewelry based on reviews and photos). If anyone could help I’d really appreciate it. These would be very meaningful pieces. Thanks!

Any recommendations

Salve redditors,

I'm in Palermo with my girlfriend and we are looking for any recommendations for tiny and delicious restaurants in a small alley far from the big streets and tourists places.

Any locals or former tourists who can give us a tip?

✌️

Hello! We are a group of 13 girls (ages 28-30) and looking for a nice rooftop bar to have some cocktails on a Saturday evening, followed by possibly a nice bar with some music and potentially some dancing. We are looking for a healthy middle ground as half the group is more quiet and the other can go absolutely feral lol. Any tips or places would be so so welcomed!!!
