We're from Rome, and a friend brought us here saying, "I'll let you try the real Sicilian arancina."
Well... he was right! 😍
We traveled around Sicily for 20 days, eating arancina everywhere, but nowhere did we find one as good as at Bar Turistico.
Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside: simply perfect.
Before leaving for Rome, we had to return. And we even bought some to eat on the ship.
If you're in the area, you absolutely can't miss it: this is the real Sicilian arancina!

Here you'll find the best arancina in town. My grandfather used to bring it to me as a child. After 30 years, the arancina still tastes the same!

Spectacular arancini, I'm from Palermo and this bar makes spectacular arancini, unique in taste. I've eaten all of them in my life and these are my favorites, delicious.

A Sicilian culinary experience not to be missed!
If you're looking for an authentic gastronomic experience in Palermo, this is the place for you. I've had the pleasure of trying several specialties, and every bite was a true delight.
The arancini, both "al burro" and "alla carne" (with meat), are simply spectacular. The crispy breading hides a heart of flavorful rice and a filling that will make you fall in love. But it's not just the arancini: every other piece of tavola calda I've tried was exceptional, prepared with fresh ingredients and a care that is evident from the first bite.
Beyond the excellent quality of the food, what makes the experience truly special is the staff. Everyone is kind and welcoming, ready to make you feel at home. A special thanks goes to Mirko, whose professionalism and smile made our visit even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this bar to anyone who wants to enjoy the flavors of Sicily in a welcoming atmosphere with impeccable service. I will definitely be back!

Il vero street food palermitano! Pezzi di rosticceria buonissimi! Personale gentilissimo e disponibile! Fuori mano per il turista ma se si dispone di un mezzo,facile raggiungere questo bar perché a pochi minuti dal porto.
