St'orto

Palermo


In the evenings, arty, indie types spill onto the cobbled street at this tiny, much-loved cafe-bar. Cocktails start at a reasonable €5, with other libations including craft beers, thoughtfully chosen Sicilian wines and organic juices. Daytime bites include panini stuffed with local cheeses and cured meats, while the evening aperitivo might see you grazing on complimentary bruschette.
