where you should eat in Palermo!
Mr Bartolo fed generations of Palermitans in his former trattoria Maestro del Brodo. He is back in a more elegant restaurant where still resides the passion of his traditional Palermitan recipes. If you are willing to try the classic Palermitan pasta with sardines this is definitely one of the best options in town.
