Signature: Shek burger (Modica beef), Nebrodi sausage hot dog, Sicilian fries

Order: Arancina classica (meat ragu) and the porcini, the two most ordered.

Nni Franco u' Vastiddaru ★ 4.4
Nni Franco u' Vastiddaru on Corso Vittorio Emanuele at Piazza Marina in Palermo is the canonical pane con la milza counter, founded 1992 by a former Antica.
Signature: Pane con la milza, Pane e panelle, Sfincione
Order: Pane con la milza maritato (with caciocavallo and ricotta), the Palermo street food rite of passage.
