This place mainly focuses on arancini, but they also offer other baked items.

I tried the savory pistachio arancini. It was good, slightly mild, and not very intense in flavor, but still enjoyable and well made.

The cheese and pepper arancini was delicious. The cheese was aromatic and the pepper added a strong, contrasting flavor. The combination worked very well together and had much more character.

I also ordered a calzone with cheese, mortadella, and pistachios. It was excellent and heated fresh for me. The cheese was nicely melted and everything tasted great together.

The only downside was how crowded it was. There were a lot of people inside and everyone was pushing past each other, which made the ordering a bit chaotic. But after sitting down outside it was less crowded.

I bought an arancino accarne in the evening of 5 February 2026 for dinner. Unfortunately I really did not enjoy the arancino much as it has green peas inside which I do not like. Also I think the arancino al ragù I tried in Catania (Caffé Europa) tasted better, and the price is cheaper too (€2.8 Vs €3.5 here). However, service was quick. When I dined outside, there was a lady asking each table of customers to accept or donate a 50 cent coin, and she was reluctant to leave even though no customers accepted her request.

Ke Palle is the perfect place to dive into the world of arancine (the regional name for the fried rice balls). This spot is legendary in Palermo, not just for the sheer variety of flavors but also for the absolutely huge portions—you definitely get your money's worth!

We made this our first arancina stop, and it was a delicious introduction. While my daughter enjoyed the traditional ragù flavor, my husband and I branched out:

Pistachio: My choice, and it was indeed delicious! The creamy, rich pistachio filling blended perfectly with the crispy, fried rice exterior.

Aubergine (Eggplant): A unique and surprising choice for my husband, offering a flavorful, savory, and distinctly Sicilian twist.

It was definitely worth the indulgence; we all loved it!

The arancina here is the true definition of filling, satisfying street food. They are perfectly fried, crispy on the outside, and packed with intensely flavorful fillings. If you are hungry, curious, and want to try both the classic and the creative versions of this Sicilian staple, Ke Palle is an absolute must-visit.

Touristy, but what do you expect? Haha. We recommend trying out one of the less traditional fillings as you can get amazing arancini in numerous places around without the line but if you do the line here make sure to try something new! (Also the line moves pretty fast so it’s not like that’s a problem.

4.6 One of the best arancine I had, not the cheapest. And of course im extremely happy I had some vegan food. The outside is perfectly crispy. inside as a non-vegan one would be. Truly delicious!
