The paint’s a little faded above the door, but the rough stone walls, wooden-beam ceilings and mismatched art-deco-style decor add bags of rustic character to this cosy bar. It’s conveniently tucked away on a side street in the Old Town, close to the port. When it’s full inside, as is often the case, the crowd spills out onto the pavement to drink until the early hours of the morning.

Peep through the heavy red-velvet curtains and the offbeat charm of this tiny space will instantly appeal: the city's creative crowd sip smoked negronis at the bar, while students linger over card games at the outdoor tables. The peeling green facade, wax-crusted candelabras and rickety vintage chairs haven't changed in years, and the platters of complimentary aperitivo (slices of doughy focaccia, bruschetta and aubergine-filled buns) are a tasty bonus. On summer nights, people spill onto the street into the small hours.

I can’t say I’ve tried them all but I loved Botteghe Colletti so much; it feels like it epitomses everything Palermo is about. By day, this cobblestone alleyway is often just used as a cut-through to reach Via Vittorio Emanuele but, by night, this street comes alive. The small interior is opulent, reminding me of a 1920’s cocktail bar, but grab a beer and head outside where the crowds perch on the curbs admiring the street art painted on metal shutters.
