The story
At Bar Perrone, a historic Sicilian bar founded 60 years ago, a delicious espresso costs just 30 cents—a fact creator Salvo Guarneri calls “the cheapest coffee in Italy.” He describes it as a must-visit for anyone nearby, highlighting the bar’s long-standing reputation and surprisingly affordable quality. While Guarneri places the bar in Agira, the venue’s listed address is in the nearby town of Alia—a minor inconsistency that doesn’t diminish the draw.
That single 30-cent espresso is the only dish highlighted, yet it carries considerable weight. For travelers exploring inland Sicily, Bar Perrone represents a rare find: a truly local, no-frills spot where a perfect caffè costs pocket change. It’s the kind of place that makes you question why you’ve ever paid more.
