    Historical place. Used to be visited by Mafia boss Lucky Lucciano. Large selection of real Palermitan starters. For brave ones: try Panino con la milza (veal spleen boiled in lard served on a roll)

    Genuine Palermitan delicacies. Order the schiticchi, a street food sampler with caponata, involtini di melanzane, sardi a' beccaficu, and arancinette. I loved the richly savory margherita all'anciova.

    Good, authentic sicilian food. You should try the caponata (an eggplant stew-like dish), pane con milze (spleen sandwich) and cannoli (the delicious sicilian ricotta desert)

    The right place to eat typical Palermitan street food, a wide range of authentic Sicilian cuisine in a beautiful historical Art Nouveau palace. Try Dietro le Case by the glass with "pani ca meusa".

    Cosy atmosphere and calm area. The street food is good (especially the rice balls) but the focaccia was a disappointment. But a recommendation for a quick and pretty cheap lunch!

    Horrible service. Order 3 dishes for 3 people, 20 minutes later brought 2 and told 20 minutes later that 3 meals there . No apology, no dishes on the house. Nothing! spoiled the evening ...

    One of the worst experiences I have had. Service was appalling and food had to be sent back. Nobody really cared that 2 out of 3 dishes where left uneaten. Don’t be fooled by the beautiful ambience!

    The food was tasty... but be careful if you are a tourist. They will try to rip you off. Check the bill twice , they might charge you for things you didn't get

    Historic place, but disappointing in the end. The old shop is beautiful but the McDonald's-style menus and the big touristic crowd make it a bit too "industrial"...
