About

Spinnato, an iconic Palermo café and pastry shop, has been delighting locals and visitors since 1860. Nestled in the historic heart of the city, it occupies two flagship locations: the elegant corner at Piazza Castelnuovo 16/17 and the bustling Via Principe di Belmonte 108/107-115, each offering their own unique atmosphere and menu highlights.

A cornerstone of Palermo’s culinary scene, Spinnato’s commitment to quality and heritage keeps diners coming back. Beyond its delectable menu, the café’s unhurried ambience, friendly service, and ornate décor – complete with historic street‑car mosaic tiles in the basement – create a memorable experience for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Whether you’re looking for a comforting breakfast or a sweet indulgence to take home, Spinnato’s blend of tradition and modernity makes it a must‑visit destination in Palermo.
