This place invited us in with its sharp appearance, cordial wait staff. Then the fun and fantastic dining began! Marcello, Federico and Catty were professional, friendly and attentive. Gracious help for a bunch of silly Americans led to outstanding menu recommendations, starting with buffalo cheese and smoked salmon crostini, a mixto of superbly seasoned fried potatoes and chickpeas, and heese, pistacio and auberge laden breads. Two wines, a red and a white, met our desires perfectly, and special desert for our 5 year old granddaughter, served up with a personal touch by Catty. Highlights---beef fillet with smoked fondue, fresh pasta w' delicate, flavor-rich Mediterranean red shrimp and pistachio pesto, and a meat sauced ravioli that zinged. Marcello managed the meal and the setting in the busy street dining environment, and posed pictures for us. Best meal in Palermo, maybe Italy. Five stars!!!
