In the melting pot district of Balarrò in Palermo, Sicily, MoltiVolti is a hybrid co-work-space-come-restaurant. Formed in 2014 by a group of friends from Senegal, Zambia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Spain, Gambia and Italy, this multi-purpose space is a friendly HAFH (home-away-from-home… I think I just made that up) where you can work, eat or just hang out.
As colorful as its surrounding neighborhood, MoltiVolti serves a busy lunch and dinner menu offering bottarga and lemon spaghetti, gnocchi tenerumi and shrimps, and a variety of couscous dishes. But if you’re there to get some work done, you can either park yourself at any of their communal tables and indulge in their smily-faced café lattes, or you can rent a spot in their adjoined co-work 14 person space to hold larger meetings and exchanges of ideas.
One of my favorite things about this place is their unique, one-of-a-kind fan system made of rotating canvasses that flap above in unison, quietly cooling you off as you soak in the chill factor.
