Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is a cheap (price wise) and very cheerful fast food place which offers a good selection of savoury dishes including massive tasty arancini balls, panini, pasta bakes, rice salads and caponata! We didn't try the ice creams or pastries but they looked delicious. If...you're looking for good value, you'll enjoy this place.More

Touring is a deli / street food joint where you get very good arancini and granite, and they serve beer and spritzes too. The arancini are huge; it's a very cost efficient place to get full. The location is nice being right next to the...botanical gardens, and they have shaded outdoors seating too. Excellent place for a quick bite.More

Good place for the perfect snack. They have everything your heart wants and more - things you haven’t dreamt of. It’s directly in front of the botanical garden, so before or after your visit it i would recommend you to eat something there.

Bar Touring was recommended to me as the No 1 spot for arancini when I went to Sicily on holiday in January. So, my expectations were very high but I was not disappointed! The arancini are delicious, the beer is cold and the atmosphere is...great. The perfect spot for a snack after visiting the botanical gardens- 10/10 recommend!More

Popped into Bar Touring for a quick cup of coffee and a slice of cake. The café has a really good selection of cakes but the service does let the place down a bit. Good pricing with a slice of Pistachio Cake and a Café...Macchiato costing 4 Euro 50 cent (including service)More

Great cafe right near our hotel. Food was more snacking but really good especially the arancini balls. Coffee was really good and brilliant selection of gelato. Good value for money, we were in there at least twice a day.

The small bar is just around the corner from NH Palermo the hotel we stayed at - everyday after sight seeing we would stop and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee & some cakes -and as we left I would have an ice-cream for the...short walk back. A lovely selection of arancini which I saw the locals devour in huge quantities -but we just came for the sweet stuff at a sweet price. A lovely memory of Palermo.More

We stopped here on our first day of being in Palermo, very hungry and this place didn't disappoint. The Arancini are massive, cheap and come in a variety of flavours. Certainly filled us up until the evening. Very helpful staff, we came back to try...the gelato and sandwiches. All freshly made and delicios I wish we had more places like this in the UK.More

I am just a visitor but they served cappuccino at 7:45am. (Yes, it seems that a brioche with a cappuccino is commonly as colazione italiano...)
