As the name promises, this tiny Palermo bar takes the negroni as scripture and builds its entire identity around the holy trinity of gin, Campari, and vermouth. The menu lists dozens of variations—different gins, vermouths, and bitters from around the world—all meticulously executed. The space is minimal and moody, with low lighting, a small marble bar, and just enough seating for a couple dozen devotees. The bartenders are serious but not solemn, happy to guide you through the permutations. It's a one-trick pony, but when the trick is this well executed, who's complaining?

Start with a classic negroni to calibrate your palate, then branch out. The Patagonian version with local gin and Argentine vermouth is a patriotic twist. Their sbagliato with prosecco is a lighter alternative.
Early evening on a Tuesday or Wednesday when you can secure bar seats and engage the bartenders. The small space means weekends require patience or luck.
Seating is extremely limited—arrive early or be prepared to stand. The menu is negroni-focused with a handful of other Italian classics. Prices are moderate for craft cocktails. Cash preferred.
