Kus-Kus — Restaurant in Palermo

Definitely worth the walk away from the crowds of the main strip. The couscous is superb ... the texture was so addictive. Haven't had couscous like that since I was in Morocco (which is kinda what I was after because of Palermo's proximity to North Africa) Serving sizes are super generous.

The ricotta was so light almost like smooth panacotta. The staff was very efficient, they also spoke English if Italian you dont speak Italian. We finished our meal with a l’Amoro Unico, a Sicilian digestivo made from Sicilian oranges,...

They insist that if we really want to seat we must seat outside (in the cold) on what that they call “marciapiedi” because all other guests are coming and all tables inside will be needed by all other guests. I said - we are guests as we booked as well and would like to seat inside because outside is cold and since nobody had arrived yet but the answer is strict - NO, outside or nothing. Mediaeval, NON courteous, rude service - perhaps...
