Caffé Stagnitta is one of the oldest cafés in Palermo, in 2022 it celebrated a century of life. Although it was originally located in Piazza Venezia, it has been in its current location in Discesa dei Giudici, in the heart of the historic center, since 1931. In addition to Coffee house, it is also a store and roastery, so they also roast and sell their own coffee blends. In fact, it is precisely a coffee blend to give it its name.

Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the long avenue that divides Palermo in two and ends at a large stone gate, Porta Felice. Crossing it you will find the Foro Italico with its sea views. But if instead of crossing it you look at the stairs right next to Porta Felice you can climb them, go through an iron gate and walk along what were originally the city walls. You will be walking on the Mure delle Cattive. If you know any Italian, you'll know that “cattive” is the feminine plural of "cattiva" which means bad. So yes, you are on the "wall of bad women". Don't think this is a typo, the sign han ..read more

Sferracavallo is a small seaside neighborhood just over fifteen minutes from Palermo by car. But if you don't have one, don't worry, because you can also reach it by train. Historically a fishermen's neighborhood, it is still today. You can see fishermen with their cane and also with their boat. In the small harbor you can see the boats moored, which go out to fish depending on the prey, at dawn or dusk. Also, you can find the shipyards repairing the boats and those that cannot be repaired are "parked" in the streets. Many Palermitans come to spend Sunday in Sferracavallo, especially to eat f ..read more

This year marks the 399th Festino of Santa Rosalia, the patron saint of Palermo, or in Sicilian u fistinu, to remember the moment when the Saint saved the city from the plague. Much loved by the Palermitans, who affectionately call her the Santuzza, the city is full of votive altars dedicated to her and even some graffiti or other street art display that modernizes her image. However Rosalia was not always the patron saint of Palermo, in fact it was this miracle that made her the sole and absolute patron saint, ousting all the others. Yes, “others” in plural. Because, strangely enough, Paler ..read more

If one day you have the opportunity to do your shopping in any Palermo’s market, you will notice that in the paper in which they wrap your meat or vegetables, you almost always will find a nice detail: a drawing, a phrase, a thank you...        But inevitably after emptying the purchase, you throw it away. Instead, Carmela and Giulia thought they could give a much longer and creative second life to these wrappers that tell a part of the history of Palermo’s historic markets. And so, they created Edizione Precarie and decided to turn the paper used to wrap and protect foo ..read more

Few cities are as fortunate as Palermo to have a sea like that of Mondello at such a short distance. Every Palermitan has a little bit of Mondello in their childhood memories, and they will spend hours and hours comparing the water of Mondello to that of the Maldives, talking about its turquoise blue reflections and its fine white sand. With this image anyone could think that a little more than a hundred years ago the Gulf of Mondello was home to a large mephitic swamp, until 1891 when the recovery began and also its territorial and urban transformation. From a swampy terrain Mondello became ..read more

As soon as you set foot in Palermo you will immediately realize that, along with Italian, the Sicilians also speak their own language, Sicilian, a language in which traces of Arabic, Spanish, French and even Greek are mixed. As happens with all languages, there are certain words and expressions that are untranslatable and express the identity of the place better than anything else. Some of Sicilian words have become a kind of trademark of the island by its own right. On Instagram, different profiles help us to learn some Sicilian words in a funny way, but if you have a finely tuned ear, you ..read more

Greeks called Palermo, Panormos, “all port” and if you want to discover firsthand why, the best way to do it is to walk along its promenade by the sea. We stroll from one point to the other of the city, from the port of La Cala to the small port of Sant Erasmo, to enjoy as a vero palermitano a space that is being recovered for the city and the enjoyment of locals an foreigners. La Cala La Cala is the old port of Palermo, it has the shape of a “U” and it is nowadays a classic tourist harbor with fishing and sailing boats. Walking along the pedestrian area you can admire the big mural that rem ..read more

Anti-Italian Hate Speech "Dumb W*ps*

Someone left a racist comment under our blog post about spleen sandwiches, using the pejorative racial slur against Southern Italians, “w*p.” Our little company, Palermo Street Food, and this blog are loudly and proudly run by Southern Italians and we will not tolerate hate speech of any kind against any group of people.     Instead of simply deleting the comment (which of course we did), we’d also like to take this opportunity to contextualize the word “w*p” in the landscape of anti-Italian racism and discrimination. “W*p” has historical significance as a racist term against Italia ..read more
