Hic! La Folie du Vin

Top choice in Palermo


Hugely popular with 30- and 40-plus locals, Hic! is never short of a fun crowd, spilling out onto the footpath in a sea of banter and reasonably priced vino. The latter includes lots of Italian, French and German drops, each one approved by owner Giuseppe. Edibles include quality cheeses and cured meats, and the bar hosts live acoustic sets on Sunday evenings.
