Restaurant
Gagini
Palermo
Gagini pulsates between sixteenth-century walls in what was the forge of the greatest exponent of the Sicilian Renaissance, Antonello Gagini.
Place of experimentation and research, it has inaugurated a new frontier of cuisine in the historic monumental quadrilateral of the city, nestled between the Vucciria and the Cala harbor. With a strong contemporary spirit, it summarizes evolution and revolution in dynamic and highly territorial dishes.
A new season of excitement, innovation and sharing opens at Palermo’s Gagini restaurant with the arrival of chef Tiziana Francoforte, ready to bring his talent and contemporary vision to one of the most symbolic places of signature cuisine.

The Cellar
We keep excellent labels
From natural wines to icons of the wine scene, the Gagini cellar is one of the richest in the area.
Structured to support the taste path of chef and to allow wide verticals, it contemplates the best interpreters of Sicilian terroirs and the rest of the world, revolutionary producers and fine wines.

Tiziana FrancoforteExecutive Chef
Tiziana Francoforte, born in 1987, trained as a sous chef at Gagini alongside Mauricio Zillo from 2020 to 2021, and was at the helm of Aja Mola until 2026.
The experience she has gained is immediately apparent, blending with a truly Sicilian welcome, where professionalism runs parallel to the intimacy created by the Chef's visits to the table between courses, never invasive and above all genuine and attentive. It's not a ritual, it never feels contrived; the truth is that Tiziana cares, and truly does. It's precisely this philosophy that has brought her back this time as Executive Chef at Gagini Restaurant.
