In the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 2 – The Height Of Good Taste

One of Palermo's gastronomic high spots – and it has many – is the DoBa restaurant, named after its founder and food maestro Domenico Basile.

OK, it's pricey. OK, it has a tendency to serve what long ago used to be nouvelle – ie, plates with not a lot to eat on them. But what you do get is of the highest quality and surprisingly (to me, someone who enjoys a full meal) satisfying.

However, apart from the incredibly attentive Domenico himself, DoBa serves up one unbeatable thing... the view from its rooftop terrace down over the Piazza Giuseppe Verdi to the Teatro Massimo opera house.

With that dramatic sight to take in, you would probably be happy to have a glass of house red and a packet of crisps.

So, yes, go to DoBa by all means, but insist on a table at the top of the building. Otherwise you're going to be starved of the ultimate dining pleasure.
