About the owner
Yoshi is the proud owner of both locations. Instead of falling into his Japanese roots, he was inspired and fell absolutely in love with Italian cuisine. The Cascio family inspired the Japan native on the homey, rustic and comfort of Palermo Italian food. Yoshi keeps the traditional recipes, fresh and local ingredients, and keeps the Italian home vibe. If you are a local or a visitor, Yoshi and his staff makes you feel welcome like an old friend.
Yoshi expanded Palermo when he opened the Ventura location back in 2013. Still going strong, locals can’t get enough and Visitors gave themselves a reason to keep coming back.
