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.]

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.

Everywhere else either don't have it or it's coffee with ice cubes in it, sad or some creamy coffee that was so sweet that could have been thrown across the room because they were disgusting Service Some were friendly and serving with a smile, but some your typical Sicilian with a serious face.

The prices were outstanding and there seemed to be a good amount of choices. I went with a salami sandwich? I am not sure of the exact name of it, but there was a piece of salami with melted mozzarella on top of a brioche bun. Inside, there was also salami and mozzarella with a little tomato sauce. It was very good. There was plenty of salami and mozzarella, but the tomato sauce lacked. The bread was also very fluffy. I also tried a local favorite, a cassatelle. It was basically a fried turnover with a filling of ricotta cheese and chocolate. It was outstanding. I think what made it great was the cassatelle being served warm and how perfect it was cooked.

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.

We were there to visit the cathedral but arrived midday when most restaurants are closed. I happened to peek into Antic Friggitoria while we were passing by and noticed a handful of local men munching away on sandwiches. I wanted to try one and went inside but they were sold out. Instead, they brought out Arancini (risotto balls with stuffing, rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried), piping hot and the size of a large fist. They were crisp on the outside and molten hot inside with a tasty stuffing of ground meat and veggies. It was a very filling snack and we shared 3 of them amongst four of us. A great little local hole in the wall for food to go. Recommended for sandwiches and arancini.
