Mondello · Palermo · Sicily
Palermo can also be understood through food.
Rather than an endless list, we distinguish genuinely Palermitan specialties from dishes that belong to Sicily more broadly.
What to eat
What to try
Street food, pasta, fish and desserts are among the easiest ways to experience the city.
