Panificio Castaldo In Palermo

11/01/2025: We came here for the ramen because we are tired of Sicilian food and wanted some variety. I am a Ramen lover. I will eat Ramen whenever I get the chance. I tried their Tonkatsu Ramen. Well, this is not the Tonkatsu I usually get with the thick broth that actually gives me a heartburn after. It is light and just right to my liking. One thing is the noodle can be a bit more al dente. But for a Ramen made by Sicilians, it was very impressive! My husband wanted the vegan Ramen, but they don't have that anymore. (Guess it wasn't popular in a country where meat was the essential food) So he ordered nouveau Scilian dish with purée Cauliflower, squash and 2 buffala balls in it. It was very creative and interesting. BUT! The best thing is their bread which is to die for! It tastes like a chewy sourdough. Best bread I had in Sicily! Too bad they made the bread themselves and I can't buy it elsewhere! This is truly a great find. You can tell they create the food not just making it. You have to view it as if you are eating their version of a traditional food. What a refreshing break from traditional Sicilian food!
