Vorrei iniziare dicendo che Morettino non è solo un’azienda ma è amore e passione intensa per il caffè, trasmessa e radicata bene nei cambi generazionali. Oltre a tostare caffè commerciali di alta qualità e Specialty stanno avviando progetti importanti, ed altri già avviati, che li consacrano nell’eccellenza dello scenario italiano del caffè! Oltre all’aspetto botanico non da poco basti pensare al nuovo morettinocoffeelab che sta sorgendo in un’aria restituita a nuova vita nel porto di Palermo, indicazione che la città e l’isola sono e vogliono essere molto di più di stereotipi e turismo. Grazie ai contributi del governo centrale ed europeo ???????????????? ed a visioni di chi ama Palermo e la Sicilia. L’azienda è inoltre promotrice di un museo del caffè eccellente, diretto da Nicola Battista, espero di caffè e botanica. Morettino è inoltre promotrice di svariate attività culturali e di tutela del territorio e delle arti artigianali, grazie all’etica dei componenti della famiglia, che hanno ricevuto la passione radicandola di generazione in generazione. La torrefazione è inoltre presente nella prima guida italiana ai caffè speciali “The Italian specialty coffee guide” e la sua app gratuita Guida Caffè

Best coffee, granita and croissants so far (and we’ve done an entire road trip of Italy)

Ottima colazione internazionale in un ambiente molto antico, in un un palazzo storico del centro di Palermo. Cameriera gentile e attenta nonostante il locale fosse affollato, molto brava anche a esprimersi in inglese con clienti stranieri. Torneremo certamente

We did not have an appointment for a tour of this coffee museum, but Mr Morettino himself was so very kind to take time out of his day to spontaneously and personally show us around. He took us on a detailed journey through the history and origins of Morettino Coffee (the brand of coffee we personally enjoyed the most in Sicily, hence our visit to the roastery). The coffee museum contains a beautifully curated collection of all things coffee-related and also gives you full insight into Morettino's current production site. The whole tour reflected Mr Morettinos endless passion for his craft. It was a wonderful experience to learn about the step by step process from coffee bean origins to your great cup of Italian espresso. I can fully recommend a visit to the Morettino production site in Palermo, which houses the above mentioned coffee museum and school of coffee. They also offer barista courses and general educational courses on the history of coffee. Mr Morettino and his staff were very hospitable and accomodating despite our spontaneous show-up, but I strongly advice to make an appointment beforehand if you plan to visit.

Siamo stati in visita alla fabbrica e al museo del caffè e.. è stata un'esperienza illuminante! Arturo Morettino, il proprietario, ci ha guidati in un viaggio all'interno di tutta la filiera caffeicola, dal frutto fino al caffè in tazzina. Il caffè, di diverse miscele, è di altissima qualità. L'accoglienza è stata incredibile. Parte conclusiva è stata la visita al museo del caffè, uno dei più grandi musei al mondo, con macchine antiche e provenienti da ogni civiltà produttrice e trasformatrice. Stra consigliato!

A new, very stylish, elegant café. Which aims to evoke memories of an elegant time in Palermo. A soothing oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the old town with all the street vendors and hordes of tourists strolling along Via Maqueda. The Mediterranean salad with chicken and parmesan sauce was good! The small yellow and red tomatoes were flavourful (surprisingly rare in Palermo). There was also more parmesan sauce for me on request (thank you!). Olive oil, salt mill and pepper mill are served (which is unfortunately not standard even in upscale, expensive restaurants in Palermo). The wine by the glass is good (I chose a Chardonnay). The water is served - thank you for that - in glass bottles. Service: Sarah is charming, she introduced herself by name, speaks English and finds solutions for everything. I will try the good coffee another time and probably enjoy it!

Luogo da visitare se siete a Palermo e se siete di Palermo. Tutto qui profuma di storia, cultura, tradizione. Azienda impeccabile, visita entusiasmante. Si esce da qui con una visione del tutto nuova e inaspettata sul caffè. I caffè degustati sono eccezionali, i migliori sul mercato a mio parere. Una menzione particolare al Piccolo Museo Del Caffè, è un gioiello. Cimeli da tutto il mondo e di ogni epoca collezionati dalla famiglia Morettino con grandissima cura. Assolutamente da visitare almeno una volta nella vita. Voto 10/10!!!
