Vago - Rizzuto specialty coffee and snacks — Restaurant in Palermo

To put simply, Vago is the best coffee shop in Palermo. (So good that I had to write my first review ever!)

If you're a coffee lover in Palermo, Café Vago is where you want to be. (After searching for over a year, I finally found the perfect spot.) The selection of coffee here is unmatched, offering everything from rare petits crus to your bet specialty coffees. It you love and know coffee, this is paradise.

But what truly makes Café Vago stand out is Giuseppe. He’s not just a barista; he’s a coffee maestro, an artist. His technical expertise is top-notch, and you can taste the difference in every cup.

It’s the perfect combination of incredible coffee and a barista who...

Self-service here but it's not a big deal although it's very tiny inside. Definitely...

On the other hand, I also had a cannoli, a sandwich, and a chocolate croissant that wasn’t available in the display but they kindly offered to prepare it fresh on the spot. All of them were very good and fresh.

Overall, it’s a place worth recommending: high-quality products, passionate people, and a genuine love for coffee. Mistakes happen, but the experience was...
