Ristorante Palazzo Branciforte

Located in a blue-blooded palazzo, this restaurant is popular for its Sunday brunch. Book ahead for a table in the elegant courtyard, the best spot to savour buffet offerings like parmigiana di melanzana (aubergine parmigiana), tuna ragù pasta and octopus salad. Just leave room for the desserts, a tempting spread of freshly baked cakes, tarts, fruit and, if you're lucky, ricotta-stuffed sfinci (doughnuts).
