Antico Caffe Spinnato In Palermo

Very good arancini 🙂 nice service

The service was very friendly. The drinks were some of the best, the ice cream, coffee, and sweets were all excellent. The place has a great atmosphere, highly recommended. Six people all left happy. I recommend it.

Historic Palermo hangout, delicious sweet and savoury treats

An ideal bakery for breakfast. It has a huge variety of sweets, pastries, and options for all tastes, and everything stands out for its excellent quality. You can tell the products are fresh and well-prepared. What's more, the bakery is located in a very quiet square, allowing you to enjoy breakfast at a leisurely pace in a very pleasant atmosphere. Without a doubt, a perfect place to start the day.

This café is located in the heart of Palermo, on Via Principe di Belmonte, one of the city's most elegant pedestrian streets, just steps from the Politeama. My personal experience was satisfactory. The location is very beautiful. Otherwise, I didn't feel the warmth or personality of the service. With an aperitif, the idea of ​​serving pistachios with chips is nice.

Lots of baked goods and good coffee

A historic Palermo spot. Honestly, I didn't like it at all. I paid more than 15 euros for two cappuccinos and two cannolis. Extremely poor value for money.

The delicious tiramisu comes in a small box, perfect for a meal. The espresso is very authentic. The decor is retro, and while the environment is a bit noisy, it doesn't prevent you from sitting down and enjoying a book.

It all started when we weren't allowed to sit at the table we liked. It was really upsetting! After the manager intervened, the conflict was resolved. The coffee and pastries were good.

If there's a place that captures the essence of Palermo's elegance and the perfection of Sicilian confectionery, it's undoubtedly Antico Caffè Spinnato on Via Principe di Belmonte. Every time I return to Palermo, a stop here is not only a pleasure, but a true ritual. The Atmosphere and Location Located in the city's most chic pedestrian area, just steps from the Politeama Theater, Spinnato offers a timeless atmosphere. Sitting at the outdoor tables under the porticoes is a truly relaxing experience: you feel immersed in Palermo's elegant living room, surrounded by beauty and history. The interior is equally charming, with a retro feel that exudes tradition and quality. The Gastronomic Experience I wouldn't know where to start, because everything here is close to perfection: • The Pastry Shop: Their cannoli are legendary. The wafer is crispy, and the ricotta is expertly crafted to make it velvety, never overly sweet. The cassatas are works of art, and the mini pastries are a constant temptation. • La Rosticceria: For those seeking savory fare, the arancina (strictly masculine in Palermo, but here excellence has no gender!) is one of the best in the city. Rice cooked to perfection, golden and crispy breading, and generous toppings. • Breakfast and Coffee: The coffee is excellent, and pairing it with a freshly baked cream or chocolate iris is the perfect way to start the day. The Service Despite the large influx of tourists and regulars, the staff is always impeccable: professional, fast, and with the courtesy typical of the great Sicilian hotel school. Even at peak times, you are attentively looked after, and table service is quick and efficient. Final Verdict It's not just a bar, it's a piece of Palermo's history. Prices are slightly higher than the city average, but they're absolutely justified by the quality of the ingredients, the prestigious location, and the level of service. I highly recommend: If you want to give a gift or bring a piece of Sicily home, have their sweets or marzipan fruit wrapped for you: the packaging is elegant and freshness is guaranteed. A beloved place where quality never wanes over the years. Absolutely unmissable!
