The place is ideal if you stay in Mondello; a bit tucked away from the busy beach walk (but you can walk there in five minutes), protected from the wind (and too much sun) to have your meals (or coffee or wine) outside. Really ideal, if you want to enjoy the busy and vivid side and sights of Palermo and its surroundings and retreat into the calm of your oasis afterwards. Francesco is very easy-going and available. We definitely recommend the place and hope to return there ourselves in a not-too-distant future :-)
