Osteria dei Vespri

Osteria dei Vespri Review

A foodie paradise occupies a cozy-but-elegant space on an unheralded piazza in the historic city center. Try the superb antipasto cinque variazioni di crudo dal mare (five variations of raw delicacies from the sea) and the raviolipieni di ricotta al forno con aroma di cedro (ricotta ravioli smoked in cedar). Sheep's-milk cheese ravioli with basil, fresh tomato, eggplant, and crispy onions adds creative depth to traditional preparation. Local fish is the specialty. The wine list is one of the best in Palermo; each day the sommelier and chef collaborate to make a special tasting menu (€75) built around Sicilian wines.
