Antica Focacceria San Francesco

Palermo's oldest street food counter, open since 1834

Address Via Alessandro Paternostro 58, 90133 Palermo
Opening Hours Daily 11:00–23:00

Open since 1834, the oldest and most storied street food counter in Palermo. The focacceria serves the full range of Palermo classics: sfincione, pani câ meusa (spleen sandwich with ricotta and caciocavallo — the definitive Palermo street food), arancine, and panelle. The building is beautiful — marble counter, old wood, tiled floor — and the location on Via Paternostro, near the Kalsa, is convenient for the historic centre. Order at the counter.
