Founded in 1951, Piccolo Napoli is one of Old Palermo's most esteemed seafood restaurants. Locals come at midday to feast on the freshest of fish. You'll begin with a memorable buffet featuring baby octopus, raw neonata (tiny fish resembling sardines, but with a milder flavor), and chickpea fritters. Continue with spaghetti with ricci (sea urchin) or casarecce (partially rolled pasta) with swordfish and mint, and finally, the glorious fresh fish or shellfish, roasted or grilled. Depending on the fish you select, the bill can creep up on you, but it's worth every cent. Dinner is only served Friday and Saturday nights between October and June.
