The staff were amazing, the restaurant was super cute. The arancino was delicious, they also served us some delicious bread and cannoli. I am vegan and the catered for me as well. Totally recommend it!

Arancini

Amanda_V, Jul 2024

I took my mom on this tour as a birthday present. I saw another review say they were accommodating for food allergies. My mom is severely allergic to dairy, so arancini out on the street is out of the question. This tour was FULLY accommodating to her dairy allergy, and gave us a fully vegan option. In the rice, you must mix Parmesan cheese. They made us pistachio flour instead. When we were filling our arancini, the guide (Luca) brought mushrooms and tomatoes from the kitchen just for her to have something special. All 9 of us in the class made 3+ arancini, where I thought we’d be permitted to make 1. My mom and I made 7 between the 2 of us. When we were finished assembling, the guide fried all of our arancini while we sat at a table with the other guests and drank wine, ate arancini from the restaurant, and relaxed. The guide brought us special Sicilian treats at the end of our tour. This was an outstanding experience and we were both so happy at the end of the night! *Sicily seemingly has a lot of wasps, and you will be making the arancini outside. They DID NOT bother people, they just had a few bites of the food while we were working. This should not be a deterrent, just wanted to warn people if they have an allergy to stings.
