On the edge of the Vucciria is a restaurant that dates to 1890, one of Palermo's oldest. In winter, tortellini in brodo (in beef broth), the restaurant's namesake, is the specialty of the house. There's an extensive antipasto buffet, and you can't go wrong with the fritella di fave, piselli, carciofi, e ricotta (fried fava beans, peas, artichokes, and ricotta). A mix of tourists and locals crowd the two small rooms.
