Franco 'U Vastiddaru, è un altro mago del panino con la milza e specializzato nei fritti di ogni tipo.

the Arancine

The arancine are perhaps the most obvious compromise of the "rulers" multitude that Sicily has had over time: the use of the rice and saffron is of Saracen origin; French tradition emerges in the choice of sauce of traditional and homonymous arancine, indeed called arancini with meat sauce; the use of the cheese is, instead, of Greek descent and it takes form and develops nell'arancina butter (with saffron, cheese and ham). Today there are many versions proposals: those with spinach, Chicken and ricotta, up to the modern versions with black cuttlefish, seafood, funghi porcini servite nelle focaccerie.

Capo, Ballarò and Vucciria offer an unmissable insight into Palermo, an outstanding kaleidoscope of colors, scents, flavors and voices. Embrace the exotic of these places very close to the main streets but which seem so far away in space and time. An advice: the Vucciria market, made famous by the famous painting by Renato Guttuso, unfortunately today is the least of the three live markets. Better to walk to the Cape, where you can take advantage to visit the Immaculate Conception Church at the Cape, jewel of the Sicilian baroque or a stroll through the stalls of Ballarò, dove immancabile è un’occhiata alla chiesa di Casa Professa.
