Casa del Brodo
Palermo, Italy
The read// why locals go
Casa del Brodo has cooked Palermitan food on Via Vittorio Emanuele since 1890, and four generations of one family have kept it going. The name points straight at the house signature, the bollito della casa — boiled meat treated with the seriousness Palermo reserves for it — and the rest of the card stays in the same regional register, ordered a la carte. Vegetarian and vegan plates are noted alongside it. This is a sit-down trattoria in the middle of the historic centre rather than a counter or a window: you take a table and stay. Mains sit around eighteen euro, level-headed for a kitchen with this much history behind it. Three independent local sources recommend it.
