This is an excellent bistro that out classes most of the places we(Australian & Portuguese tourists) have eaten at in Italy so far. The food is delicious; pasta with zucchini flowers and tomatoes had a rich full flavor. Chickpea flower panelle in contrast was light, delicate, and also delicious. The wait staff were friendly and very generous cf. our inability to speak Italian. The décor was outstanding and the prices good. We will definitely be eating here again.

The kind of place that was so hard to find in Palermo. A cute, corky restaurant with a nice décor and a soul. Besso, which used to be a library called Libreria Dante, has got all that. For 5 € you can have a big plate of pasta(pasta Norma: yummy!). Their cassatelle was also very tasty.

No city in the whole of Europe can be compared with Palermo. Naples comes close. Tourists of course, if not too many, in every street corner. Quality is not always around, but when it is, it´s good. Like this bistro/bar/café, Bisso. The oldest in town and also an earlier book store called Dante. Bisso is right in the middle of the very rich historic part of Palermo. With a certain beauty in stile and at the same time«rustico». Excellent coffee and generous atmosphere. Here you can sit for a while and contemplate. Well needed for most of us. The impressions you get in this city are often overwhelming.
