Casa Cavia

"No, you're not dreaming: Casa Cavia really is this beautiful. A luxe and verdant jewel box located in the chicest corner of Palermo, this is a perfect place to indulge and treat yourself as you get some respite from BA's fast-paced rhythm. Housed in a perfectly-preserved mansion that dates to 1927, the space boasts a charming inner courtyard with lush greenery (and a secret flower shop to boot!). Inside you'll see that no detail has been overlooked, inviting you to stay as long as you'd like. With a 2024 Michelin Guide mention under its belt thanks to head chef Juli Caruso, Casa Cavia serves elegant and modern cuisine with a strong focus on quality seasonal ingredients. Don't forget to have an after-dinner drink at the buzzing cocktail bar before you call it a night. "

"Casa Cavia looks like it was taken directly from a Vogue photoshoot. The beautiful old house shares a space with a cultural center, publisher, bar, florist shop, cafe, and restaurant. Sit outside in the garden for a boozy weekday lunch, afternoon merienda (teatime), or relaxed pre-dinner drinks. Chef Julieta Caruso (an alum of Mugaritz) designed the restaurant menu, which tends to take inspiration from seasonal ingredients, while the bar serves some of the best cocktails in the neighborhood.

"This is likely one of the fanciest brunch spots you'll ever visit in your life. Not only is the interior stunning, theres a garden patio in the back that has such a great ambiance. Come hungry and thirsty because options with three course brunch menus and bottomless drinks ARE an option here - and an option we recommend! The food was amazing and your morning will be considered well spent! "
