Ke Palle

Quest’ultima è una strada storica di Palermo che potrete percorrere a piedi, lasciandovi incantare dalla maestosità delle opere che ammirerete lungo il percorso, da Piazza Pretoria ai Quattro Canti, dalla Chiesa di San Giuseppe dei Teatini alla Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio nota come Martorana, al Teatro Massimo. Fermandovi per un break prima di continuare il vostro tour palermitano, incontrerete una delle sedi della catena “Ke palle”: qui si fonde la tradizione culinaria siciliana con ricette di stampo internazionale. La particolarità è quella di trovare arancine preparate con più di 40 combinazioni di ingredienti diversi.

Più che un semplice street food, KePalle, in via Terrasanta 111, è il templio dell’arancina. Quasi 40 combinazioni di arancine di riso, di pasta, gourmet e dolci. Solo per citarne alcune: speck, noci e mozzarella, costolette di maiale e salsa barbecue, vegana (tofu e spinaci), classica “ accarne” (con ragù di carne e piselli) e “ abburro” (prosciutto cotto, mozzarella fior di latte, senza besciamella), alla norma (melanzane, pomodoro e ricotta salata) e infine dolce al pistacchio.

What Balls" is the literal translation of this street-food kiosk's name, and a fitting one, as it only sells one thing: arancini. With flavours ranging from prawn and pistachio (weirdly good) to slow-cooked ragù (a classic) and, for those with a sweet tooth, Nutella, it's easy to make a full meal out of these iconic Sicilian snacks. Order a local Messina beer, subtly flavoured with sea salt, for the full experience.

Our discovery was a place called Ke Palle (which means What balls! and also an expression in Italian to shows the discontent of a person. Used often. especially if you ask an Italian to do something unpleasant or something he doesn’t want to – you will hear that often!) So this place offers deep fried rice balls for a take away or to eat on the spot. And this is exactly what we did.

Kepalle, sito in via Maqueda, è il tempio dell’arancina in città: le ricette sono tantissime, per santa Lucia oltre 40 varianti. Quella al burro non contempla la besciamella, ma nel complesso è comunque assai gradevole: un profumato risotto allo zafferano con un ripieno filante di mozzarella e prosciutto cotto. Quella alla carne presenta un ragù cotto per diverse ore, e si sente.

You really can't go to Palermo without trying some of their famous arancini: hearty risotto fried within breadcrumbs, with a tasty filling in the centre. Many of these are vegetarian, but the great news is that KePalle offer three vegan arancini choices too. They are really filling and offer great value for money: KePalle is handily situated in the centre of Palermo too.

In the past 10 years many shops specialized in arancini opened up downtown giving vegetarians the chance to savor this delicious Sicilian street food. Honestly speaking, we would not have an arancina in any of these places except one: Ke Palle. Located 5 minutes away from the opera house Teatro Massimo, Ke Palle brought to the market a wide variety of arancine.

Arancini are rice balls that are stuffed with your preferred flavors, and leave you with a full tummy. The balls are traditional Sicilian street food, and a must-try while in Palermo. The common saying “eyes larger than your stomach” is often played out with arancini—they are extremely filling so I suggest only getting one or two.

This is one of the best budget-friendly Palermo restaurants for arancini-lovers. Specialising in designer arancini – ragu, pistachio, shrimp, even Nutella – each ball is a taste adventure at €3–7. Even solo travellers won’t resist plunging into these deep-fried wonders, preferably while strolling through pedestrian Via Maqueda.

Located in via Terrasanta 111, Ke Palle is the temple of the Arancina. You can find 40 different combinations of rice, pasta, gourmet and dessert arancini balls. Among others: speck, walnuts and mozzarella, pork chops and barbecue sauce and there is a vegan version too (tofu and spinach) and the classic one with meat sauce.

Ke Palle is the ultimate destination for top-notch arancini; they will not disappoint you with their delicious offerings. They are renowned for serving some of the finest arancini in all of Sicily, making it a favorite among the locals as well. Ke Palle boasts a wide variety of arancini that will leave you spoilt for choice.

It is a rice ball filled with different ingredients (meat, smoked ham, spinach, mixed cheeses and so much more) and then deep fried according to centuries-long tradition. KePalle is the top rated place for these in Palermo and justifiably so!. Each ball cost €3 a piece and we ordered 3 which was the perfect amount.

Una catena di locali specializzati proprio in arancine, ideate in circa 40 varianti adatte a soddisfare anche i palati di vegetariani e vegani. Nel menu le arancine si alternano in base alla stagionalità degli ingredienti. Ogni giorno vengono sfornate migliaia di arancine dorate e mai unte.

An iconic name in Palermo, popular with tourists on Via Maqueda, Ke Palle has established itself as the street food king with a marketing edge and a varied arancine menu. Classic, vegan, vegetarian, pasta, fish, baked, and even sweet arancine are available. Via Maqueda 270, Palermo

The irony in the name perfectly reflects the nature of Palermitan people: joyous, welcoming and joking. In short, an infinite variety of foods for all tastes. Behind this name is a guarantee of quality which has allowed the eatery to expand to other parts of Palermo and Trapani.

If one arancini-laden spot wasn’t enough, we have another recommendation in the form of Ke Palle at Mercado del Capo (Capo market.) Specialising in a myriad of deep-fried treats, this is one of the best restaurants in Sicily for those craving a quick bite in the Capo area.

KePalle è il primo ristorante street food dedicato alla regina della rosticceria siciliana. L’arancina di riso, cibo da strada e simbolo pop a Palermo, in una nuova cornice di sapori e lavorazioni. Arte e gusto, tradizione e innovazione, stile e ricerca.

When you visit Sicily, you should definitely try an arancina. This is a fried stuffed rice ball that you can eat all over Italy, but differs in shape on the island. Traditionally, the filling consists of minced meat, tomato sauce, cheese and peas.

Ke Palle offers a wide variety of arancini made with traditional and creative modern flavors. Some of their more popular options include salmon and pistachio with scamorza cheese. However, the fillings often change with the season.
