The best serious restaurant in central Palermo, in a 16th-century palazzo in the Kalsa that was used as a film set in The Leopard. The cooking is Sicilian with modern technique — pasta con le sarde, pasta alla Norma, involtini di pesce spada — using excellent local ingredients. The wine list leans heavily on Sicilian producers. Reservations essential; book at least a few days ahead for dinner.
