  2. Massaro 2

    Smaller and more modern than its sister restaurant, Massaro, at Massaro 2 you'll find fewer cakes but delicious ice cream, great coffee, sandwiches and futuristic décor in shiny aluminium. The Via Brasa branch has window stools for people- (and traffic-) watching.

  3. Osteria dei Vespri

    If you want to try modern Italian cuisine, this is the perfect place to surrender your taste buds. Add the pleasure of sitting in the shadow of the venerable palazzo where Luchino Visconti filmed parts of Il gattopardo, and you have the perfect restaurant. But it's really the cuisine you'll be focusing on. Dishes include anelleti (pasta ringlets) with octopus poached in nero d'Avola wine and wild fennel with a hint of saffron; and quail and prunes in Marsala wine on a cannellini bean and celery.
