Stopped here for lunch because they have a lot of tables in the shade, very pretty setting. We had…read moresome Arancinetta (with meat). And a sandwich with roast pork, sausage, cheese and hot mushrooms. And a side of fries. Well, that's what we tried to order. There was some confusion about the sandwich and fries, so we ended up with a French fries sandwich. Yes, French fries between bread. (See photo). It wasn't hall bad, if you area big fan of carbs.

I settled on this place and decided to grab breakfast here since I missed it at the hotel. I had a cappuccino and it was luke warm. I guess the milk really cooled it down. Then I had the meat bbq sandwich and it was pretty good and filling. It was not what I was looking for and that's on me for not checking the menu and paying attention to what type of restaurant it was. It was still good food and in recommend it for good sandwiches.

So we pointed to a few things that looked good and took a seat while they warmed it up and brought it over. I chose a stuffed baked bread thing with sesame seeds. It was amazingly delicious and completely not keto. My friend chose a fried chicken breast with some sauteed vegetables. Also delicious. With the beer, we had a super lunch that gave us the energy to continue exploring Palermo. A little bit of trouble with the credit card machine (yeah, no surprise there) and we were able to get past the language barrier just fine with pointing. While we were here, they got a big queue of folks for some sort of "loose meat" sandwich. I'd try that next time. [Review 12826 overall, 141 of 2020.]

The friendly lady in the Royal Palace down the road suggested this as an authentic street food…read moreplace nearby. Boy, was she right. It's delicious Sicilian specialties, plus pizza, which - see photos - you order and eat on the street. I was after some Panelle, chickpea fritters, which are on all the "must eat" lists. They had several items with it. I used the google camera translator and found one with mushrooms - funghi. Plus something with mozzarella and eggplant. Everything was so inexpensive - 2 or 3 euros, that I thought they'd be little tastes, like a $16 San Francisco appetizer. Wrong! Each was enough for a meal. Big sandwiches - see photos, 7 euros would easily feed two people. Tasty, authentic and quite a scene. PS On the way out I noticed a big pot of what I thought was a chocolate dessert. Wrong again! Spleen! In the last photo. I'm not partial to spleen, but it was very popular.

You can get it with either tuna or anchovies and he actually made it half/half so we could try both (anchovies is the winner). The sandwich was THE BOMB: perfectly dressed with olive oil, basil and oregano, a good shaving of Parmesan, sliced olives and tomatoes plus the fish. It's like having all of Sicily in a sandwich!

Great spot for a snack, pretty good arancina, friendly service and cold beer. Mostly locals here…read morewhich is always a good sign. Three arancinas, a large beer and a soda was 6 euros. Can't beat that!

We had two paninis on our first visit. fresh tuna salad, which was actually quite lovely, and one with panelle (fried chickpea flour snacks) and potato. The sandwich bread had a nice sesame flavor. But it was just carb city, and all tasted a bit samey. We popped in again for a pizzette - really disappointing and flavorless - and some decent spinach and cheese arancini. I guess it's hit or miss. It's worth a try to experience the famous foods of Sicily, but I'm not a total convert yet.
