“ Fantastic spot for arancini lovers – including those who need gluten-free options. They offer three different gluten-free varieties, which are prepared with great care in a separate fryer and with fresh gloves. The wait time was about 10–15 minutes, but this was the same for all guests and definitely worth it. We tried the arancino al ragù and the pancetta one – both were incredibly delicious, very moist, perfectly fried, and never dry. At just €3–4 each, the size and quality make them excellent value for money. ”
“ Wonderful gent working when I went in. Allowed me to practice my Italian and even complimented me (I'm sure he was just being polite). Arancini was fantastic, delicious fillings with good crispy exterior. Cooked whilst I waited but no longer than 5 minutes. Highly recommended whilst waiting for a bus. ”
“ On my hunt of local cuisine I found this amazing Arancini restaurant. Very lovely lady cooking these delicious balls of treat. There are many variations and each one is a treat. My friend and I ordered four and shared each ball. Both of us liked the Ragù. It was cheap, tasty and delicious. I was so happy with the choice of the meal. ”
“ What a wonderful little spot to stumble across! The pistachio aranchina was delightful, followed by tiramisu that was just as good! The ladies inside were wonderful, I only wish I lived closer to go there more often. ”
“ We were on the back end of our trip to Sicily looking for a place to eat. We didn’t want American fast food nor were we looking for another typical pizza/pasta restaurant. That’s when we stumbled across this delightful place. The owners are a young family and were very friendly. The food was delicious and unlike anything we had ever eaten before! Reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend and look forward to going back on our next trip to Sicily!!!! ”
