Delicious

Delicious and fresh aranchini! Probably the tastiest I’ve ever had!!
Two options one mushroom one mixed veg, both meat eaters that I went with were also happy!
Great amount of options and cheap- €3 each! Absolute bargain, nice coffee next door too with some vegan slush options

It’s fine

I’m not a huge fan of Arancini in general but it was fine. There’s a nice selection of vegetarian options. The AC inside isn’t really effective and there’s only one table to eat inside but there’s tables with umbrellas outside!

Tastes nice

Only two vegan options when I ordered
They were good and almost too filling! I ordered 2 because I didn't feel hungry and only ate one and a half 😂

Lecker und frisch

Uns wurden zwei Optionen angeboten. Verdure und Funghi. Frisch zubereitet, hat schon Masse und bisher die leckersten die ich in Sizilien hatte. Gern wieder. Preis gut für 3 bzw. 3,5 Euro.

Pros: Frisch, Lecker

Cons: Gern mehr Optionen wie spinaci o. Aubergine

Non hanno opzioni vegane

Ho chiesto al personale e tutte le arancine vegetariane contengono uova o latticini

Originale Arancini in vegan

Leckere Optionen um auch als veggie diese Traditionsspeise zu probieren. Man konnte sogar zusehen wie die Vorbereitung und Zubereitung aussieht. Gibt es öfter in Sizilien und ist durch das Logo leicht zu finden!

Pros: Mehrere Lokale in Sizilien , Gute Portionsgrösse

Cons: Leider viele Sorten schon ausverkauft , Nicht zum hinsetzen geeignet

Addicting local food

3 vegan filling options. Among them Ericina was my favorite (there was tomato and pistachio on the top of it so it was fresher and lovely).
English-speaking staff, place was small but there is seats outside, and it's perfect street food/takeaway. Price was good. It takes few minutes when the chef has done it (ans you can see the process).

Average

The fresh tomatoes put on the top make it very difficult to eat. Pretty average in taste. However, it is nice to have them freshly fried after making an order.

Local delicatesse!

If you visit Sicily, you have to eat one of these arancini! When I was there they had two vegan items on the menu (mixed veggies and mushrooms) and both were very tasty. For €2,50 or €3,00 a piece you have a big snack, and if you take two you will have a big meal! You can sit outside on the terrace in the middle of a lively street, I would highly recommend!

Pros: Affordable, Filling, Local

Cons: Waiting time can be long

Buonissime arancine

Le arancine sono buonissime, è uno dei pochi posti che non utilizza il giallo d'uovo ma lo zafferano nel riso. Molte opzioni vegane, anche al forno.
Consiglio di assaggiare il misto grill.

Pros: Abbastanza opzioni vegane, Presenti anche opzioni al forno

I tried Ericina arancina

I tried Ericina arancina and I liked it. It costs 3 euros, which is a honest price, considering that it's really central and it's really hard finding something vegan in the city centre of Palermo.

Pros: Very good, the crust was tasty , It's cheap

Cons: Only 2 vegan options

Only 3 choices

It is really fatty, so if you don’t like fatty food you should avoid it. The ball itself is quite big, which is nice. However, I am not sure if the breadcrumb coating is vegan as an Italian mentioned that they usually use eggs for it. Therefore you should ask if they are truly vegan.

Buonissimæ

Il personale è gentile e il servizio è relativamente rapido, tenuto conto che lì vicino transitano molti turisti in cerca dei leggendari arancini (o arancine, che dir si voglia). Qui hanno 3 diversi arancini vegani. Ne ho provati due, il terzo lo proverò presto!

Pros: Economico

Arancine vegane nel cuore di Palermo

Ho assaggiato l’arancina vegana ai funghi e quella con le verdure grigliate - entrambe spaziali!

Pros: Vicino al Palazzo dei Normanni , Arancine fritte sul momento, Diverse scelte vegane e vegetariane

Cons: Non sempre tutti i gusti sono disponibili

Typical Sicilian snack

Really decent arrancine, made freshly so taste is light and consistency fluffy. There is a long menu but not all are available so ask which vegan options are there when you go.

Pros: Quick snack

Super yummy!

Super delicious arancini - they had two vegan options when I went - one with mixed mushrooms and one with zucchini, mushroom and eggplant. Both were amazing. They spoke English and were knowledgeable about vegan and vegetarian options.

Pros: Affordable (2.50€ per arancini), Yummy

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Arancini (deep fried risotto balls with different stuffings) are very filling, super delicious and really cheap (around 2.5€ apiece). The staff is really helpful and speaks English. All allergens are marked. There is only a small seating area but the food can easily be taken with you to eat in the park nearby.

Long Wait And The Other Place Is Much Better

The Arancini is ok but the worst I’ve had in Sicily. They make you wait for it too which isn’t too bad but as the saying goes “it’s not worth the wait”. They have 2 vegan options.

Delicious

I found this place while visiting this area of Palermo. It’s conveniently located, also close to the bus stop to go to Monreale. Arancini are delicious. Not so many vegan fillings but at least 3 everyday. The rice contains veg margarine (no butter) and the rice balls are submerged into a dough made out of flour and water (no eggs!!) before covering them with bread crumbs. They had shown me the dough, because I had doubts since I have read a review of their affiliated shop in Erice (la Tonda Fritta) which says they use eggs to stick the bread crumbs, which is not true. Enjoy those vegan arancini!!

Pros: Some vegan options, Nice location
