Fodor's Expert Review Mercato del Capo

Umbrella-covered stands crowd the narrow streets along Via Porta Carini and Via Beati Paoli, which are soon clogged with locals stopping to check out the daily fresh catch or haggle over household items at this traditional market. Less touristed than Palermo's other famous food markets, the atmosphere is lively without feeling showy, and there are excellent street food options tucked along the main artery—particularly the unmissable arancini at Da Arianna, a low-key eatery in the heart of the market.
