Huge variety of pastries, the best gelato and cannoli we've ever tried)) Great service and friendly staff
Amazing choice of snacks of all sorts, probably best place we found in Palermo. Very close to Botanical Gardens and a park. We took food for takeaway, delicious. Mind when ordering roma cakes, which turned out to be sponge dripping with alcohol tasting sweet and runny sauce. Was very messy to eat.
Excellent place for lunch. Their signature dish is "Arancini Bomba" which are large Arancini that come in seven flavours we really enjoyed these! They have lots of different Sicilian and Italian street food and quick lunch foods. Their desserts and sweet options are excellent too. They have a great selection and a full gelato counter. The prices are very reasonable as well. It can be difficult to make out what to get as the food in the counter is not labeled but some of the waiters speak English and will help you
Simply outstanding! The place is very simple and low-profile, with few seats on a not so charming street, but the "arancine" and other fried typical specialties are simply mind blowing! This is the very traditional and historical place where locals eat Sicilian "arancine". You cannot miss this experience if you visit Palermo!
Great place with great food. The staff is really nice. We tried the arancine but brioche gelato was a bomb. If you're close you have to try this. The prices are decent.
I had lunch here while visiting the neighborhood. I had the brioche with grounded meat and the caponata. Both were great! For the desserts, I tried the normal cannolo with ricotta and it was delicious. The pistachio one was too much for me: the biscuit is surrounded by pistachio chocolate which makes it too difficult to eat. I also took two arrancini to and I would definitely recommend to try them. Among the best I had in Sicily. The employees were very friendly!
Excellent savory food and desserts and good prices too.
Very tasty crostatina alle fragole (3), also Aperol Spritz and Limoncello Spritz (7).
