“ Recommended by a palermitan friend, this place is really good for snacks. Really fresh as well, everything I tasted was really good. I think the whole lot you see in the picture was a total of about €4. There are a few stools but it’s better to just take away. The staff was friendly enough. The best part is that I didn’t even feel grossed out after eating all this! ”
“ Recommended if you want to sample the many famous fried foods of Palermo. The timbalo is the gem. ”
“ The best that you can found in Palermo!! It's super homemade and tasty! Very highly recommend! The service also is very kind and gentle and the price is just 1€ each pastry! Fantastic! ”
“ A small bakery that’s clean and offers reasonable prices. The entrance is a bit tricky, but if you need a quick bite, this is definitely the spot. ”
“ Great Street Food. The pieces are small but that means you can try a number of them and not be too full. Also, they are of a very high quality. We tried the Arancini Carne, Crocchette di Latte, Chickpea in a Bun, and a Cheese Pastry. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The packaging of the eight piece was very attractive to look at. Maybe a minor point but showed the care they take of the produce. At €1 per piece the food is extremely affordable and value for money. ”
“ 26/10/2023 I wanted to try something local, made on spot, not the frozen ones; and yes, I was pleasantly impressed: the dough and the ingredients are fresh and good. I recommend this place so you can taste tasty local products and to have a comparison point of taste in everything you’ll try in your Palermo journey It’s a little bit difficult to find, because is inside a gang of a building , but also is near the Garibaldi Theater so it’s not impossible. ”
“ A piece of Palermo’s history in the form of delicious food. Easy, affordable and fast and you get to try some tasty local specialities. Best to come early in the morning it tends to get packed later. ”
