Friggitoria Chiluzzo

Chiluzzo became immediately our favorite "restaurant" in Palermo. Great food (the beef spleen sandwich is delicious), friendly staff, amazing atmospere, cheap prices. We always try to find authentic places where mainly only locals go to. Chiluzzo is exactly that, the lunch spot for local construction workers. I might even wish we tourists do NOT go there so that it would remain all local and authentic... yet I cannot resist the temptation!

The spleen sandwich is excellent. Together with a cup of wine, sitting outside, it’s a great way to spend a little time in the wintery sun.

Do yourself a favour and swing by here for a tasty and cheeeap bite! Got these three goods for €5. It can be pretty busy but I didn’t have to wait too long to order and the pavement tables full of chatter add to the ambience.

It's a great street food place really close to the coast (where you can have a little picnic if they don't have any free tables left). There was a line that they tried to control with a ticket system, but that could be improved a bit. Around 25 orders took more or less 35 minutes to complete. Their selection is fine, a couple types of arancines (unfortunately they were out of pistachio), different sandwiches and some other dishes. My favourites were the panini porchetta (that they completed with stayed onions) and the pane ca meausa. For 3 arancines and 3 sandwiches the EUR 12 I paid is completely reasonable.

You must go here, it's just a fantastic local experience. The staff was really nice, the food was great and the prices were amazingly accessible.

I was on my way between the botanical garden and the old palace looking for something quick to eat. I saw quite a few people at this place and decided to try it. I order something that looked like a roast beef sandwich. I was sure it was not but Google translate couldn't tell me what it was. I went with it and had the version with cheese. I loved it. It was a bit like roast beef with some crunchy cartilage type bits. I found out later it was spleen. No regrets. Best €2.50 sandwich ever, hands down. And had an ice cold beer with it for 1.50. in 2024 high tourist season, I didn't expect to stumble upon a gem quite like this.

very affordable place to try local dishes, if you’re on a budget but still want to experience the true Sicilian cuisine, this place is for you. the food was amazing, and well portioned. however, the service was not too fast, and there were not many tables to sit down.

Maybe not the best as place, for sure the one who make the best panini with cheaper price. And I've to admit, they are so good that they cost even too little, this is what street food is like!!! Best take away from Palermo, unfortunately me and my girlfriend ate all three panini and crocché on the bus, too sad, I wish I've taken two more.
