The story
Tucked into Piazza Enrico D’Orleans, Da Carlo has earned its reputation as one of Palermo’s essential delis. With a 4.4-star rating and tags that span Italian, street food, and local casual dining, it’s a clear neighborhood anchor. The spot draws both regulars and visitors looking for a no-frills, high-quality introduction to Sicilian cured meats and cheeses.
When creator Salvo Guarneri stopped by, he called out an “incredible platter” of Sicilian meats and cheeses—specifically the Tagliere Gigante con Salumi e Formaggi. Standouts included wild fennel mortadella and goat cheeses infused with charcoal, coffee, saffron, and truffle. The selection reflects the island’s bold, earthy flavors in a single generous board. It’s exactly the kind of place where a casual meal becomes a memorable taste of Palermo.

Reviewers rave about the Tagliere gigante con salumi e formaggi, a generous and flavorful board. The overall vibe is of warm, rustic abundance, perfect for sharing.
“I'm trying this giant platter with cured meats and cheeses from all over Sicily. Among the most special ones are the cooked ham flavored with Nero d'Avola, smoked Black Angus, finocchiona salami, bacon from Signore dei Brody, and this amazing mortadella — it smells like a perfumery, flavored with wild fennel. But one of the best things that will make your taste buds explode are the goat cheeses: blue-veined, with charcoal, coffee, saffron, and truffle. You can pair them with orange marmalade or pepper jam.”
