Here you will find genuine and well defined tastes and very well selected products. It springs in the heart of Palermo, it is a landmark since the brothers Salvatore and Vincenzo Pinto (the former in the room, the latter in the kitchen) decided to take it over. In the past it was known as Le Pitit.

This is a very interesting restaurant where we enjoyed very good food.

A' Cuncuma

This word means trattoria. Here you will find traditional Sicilian products like vegetables, seafood and spices which aren't often used in Italy, above all in Southern Italy.

The restaurant is in a simple style. You will roughly spend 40 Euros. It is managed by the Pinto family with passion and competence. Salvatore is also a professional sommelier.

The breadsticks and the bread are homemade. Sesame is widespread in Palermo and it reminds us of Arab countries, first of all Syria.

In short, Vincenzo proposes good raw materials in a traditional but also innovative way. It is an essential cuisine.

It was a good experience, don't miss it if you are in this beautiful city.
