This supremely local institution facing Palermo's old fishing port has had only one item on the menu—and one legendary manager-cum-sandwich maker—for more than 50 years. Calf's spleen sandwich, the joint's namesake, is sprinkled with a bit of salt and some lemon and served with or without cheese to a buzzing crowd of Palermo's battle-wearied elders. In our book, their sandwich beats the Antica Focacceria San Francesco's for the title of best in town. There's no seating, though—only counters—and the overall menu is better at San Francesco.
