Nni Franco U Vastiddaru
The name is the trade: a vastiddaru is a man who sells the soft sesame roll that pani ca' meusa is built on, spleen simmered then finished in lard and packed into the bread. It sits on Via Vittorio Emanuele a short walk from La Cala, with outdoor tables, and works the full Palermo street-food range alongside the spleen — panelle, arancine, crocchè. Useful as a sit-down version of a dish usually eaten standing up at a cart.
