About Us

From the
shop
to the table.

A family story born among the flour sacks of Palermo, and living on today around a table in the old town.

Vossìa

We haven't invented anything new.
We've simply given a modern home
to what we've always done.

The Origins

Lessons
from the shop

Our story doesn't begin in a kitchen, but among the flour sacks and wooden counters of the old local shops. That's where our grandfather learned the noblest trade of all: the art of choosing.

Picking the best loose pasta, knowing the smell of real bread, finding excellence where others saw only goods. That school had no diplomas: it had smells, weights, and trust earned one customer at a time.

The Heart

Via Sampolo,
Palermo

Our bond with Palermo grew stronger on via Sampolo. That shop, which many still remember fondly, wasn't just a business: it was our whole family.

Our grandparents worked side by side with their children — our parents — passing on not only the secrets of the trade but the value of hospitality and respect for the customer. We grew up watching the dedication of a family who proudly served their city.

The Present

The legacy
of Vossìa

Today, that legacy lives on in our dishes. Peppone chose to bring that shopkeeper's know-how into the restaurant world with Vossìa.

We haven't invented anything new; we've simply given a modern home to what we've always done: choosing the finest ingredients and treating them with the love owed to a guest who is part of the family.

From the shop to the table.
This is our story.

One story,
two tables

In Palermo the shop became a kitchen, and then it moved down to the sea. Two different places, the same art of choosing behind them.

Vossìa Cucina Mediterranea

On Via Venezia, the shopkeeper's craft found a kitchen. Shelves of Sicilian wine, wooden tables, the neon sign glowing over the street: what our grandfather chose at the counter now comes to your table.

It's our everyday home, open for lunch and dinner: traditional cooking — baccalà a sfincione, meat main courses — and the island's wines, chosen one by one.

Isola delle Femmine · By the sea

Vossìa Ammare

In Isola delle Femmine, the same art of choosing moved down to the water. The sand begins where the terrace ends and the island sits straight ahead: from the tables you can see the sea without getting up.

Open from morning until late at night: the catch of the day, fried seafood, a crisp white, and the bulbs over the terrace as the light fades.

Our Values

What we
believe in

01
Selection

Every ingredient is chosen the way our grandfather chose it: by smell, by hand, and with decades of experience. No compromise on ingredients.

02
Hospitality

Every guest is one of the family. Respect and care for those who choose us were part of Vossìa's DNA before it was even born.

03
Living tradition

We don't keep tradition under glass: we bring it to life every day, reinventing the form without ever betraying its Sicilian soul.
