Popular streetfood spots are concentrated around the bustling Vucciria, Ballarò and Capo markets. Here you can also find fresh local produce, seafood and spices. Go early to land the good stuff

Antico Caffè Spinnato This café is open late and has free wifi. Find top-notch, freshly made cannoli and pastries here. I also loved the lunches served from a big tray and paid for according to weight, with melanzane, pasta and pizza on offer. spinnato.it

Antica Focacceria Francesco With humble beginnings in 1834, this eatery has all the typical streetfood on offer in a trendy setting. Grab what you want inside, pay and choose a table in the sunny square outside. anticafocacceria.it/en

Il Siciliano Aperitivo hour begins at 7 pm. It normally costs €10 for a cocktail (make it an Aperol Spritz) and a brimming platter of snacks to go with it. ilsicilianopalermo.it
