The squid ink arancino was beautifully flavoured if somewhat high on salt. The cake too was delicious but a bit high on sugar. The pistachio and ricotta ice cream was simply excellent.

Best cannoli I have ever tried anywhere! The filling was amazing and we had to go back another day just to eat one more. The arancini is also one of the best I have ever eaten. We tried the ham and the eggplant one, and as a vegetarian who does not like eggplant, mine was so so good!! I have already recommended this place to so many friends The only down side is that it is a small place, so arrive early if you want a table or you can order to go like many Italians do

Good spot for an afternoon snack. 3.5 euro for an arancino that will definitely fill you up for a bit. The spinach arancino was nice but the ragù one was a bit disappointing, didn’t taste much of ragù.

We tried out the other location at the Mercato Centrale so we thought we'd come visit an actual storefront. The cannolis were good!

This was the first time I tried arancini and they were great! We got fresh arancini (had to wait like 10 mins) and they were filled pretty well and tasted real good. If you want to try some good arancini you definetly need to visit this place!

We had a tasty tasty lunch here. Our waitress Camilla could not have been more attentive and adorable. We love Sicily and visited there in 2014. So we had two of our favorite Sicilian wines for lunch. Benanti and Giralamo Russo’s wines. What a great start! The orange salad was delightful and the pasta delicious. We are on a quest for the best octopus 🐙 of all of our travels and this came in a close second. And we have tried A LOT! The atmosphere is beautiful and you could tell the locals love it as well. It was fantastic! We highly recommend.

The Aracini and Cannoli were the best I have ever tasted. Small street food restaurant. Friendly staff. Stop in for a quick snack after visiting David.

its a small cafe, but i could eat my treats peacefully in a corner. happened to chance upon it and it’s the best cannoli i’ve ever had. finger kisses. recommend their granita as well for the warm summer weather.

Great little gem in Firenze. Friendly staff and lovely environment. Delicious food, especially the Arancini and Gelato

The place is close to the center/Duomo. The price of 3.5-5 € for the arancino and it's really worth it as an afternoon snack. I recommend ragui, which is a very delicious bolognese and they have norma with an eggplant one for vegetarians. It's a must try it

It was great. It’s not too sweet 😊

Great mini bistro to grab arancini or cannoli or other Sicilian delicacies. Wine by the glass is decent quality too. I always come back when in Florence. For me the highlight is sepia arancini if it is available. Cannoli are some of the best I have had. Seating is limited ad arriving in less popular hours might be advisable.

Great snacks with rice, mozzarella, tomato and basil in a shape of a ball. Delicious!

The best cannoli I’ve had. They have a location in the center market

This is the gold standard for the arancini. Anytime I order one somewhere else, I automatically mentally compare it to this one. One year later Ara still holds the championship belt.

Great cannoli and rice balls Also they have local wine and soda to buy

The cannolis were so good that we had two servings. After that experience, I went to try different cannolis and proved my point. This was the best cannolis I had try in Italy. Thank you!!!

The best cannoli I’ve ever had in my life, I was looking for days for a good place and this was the one! I was so excited that I almost cried and the lady was very amused. Nice place, service and amazing sweets!

Such a wonderful experience. The food is GREAT and for fair price. I would obviously recommand this place <3 The staff is also lovely.

I highly recommend anyone to visit Ara and experience the most amazing arancini and cannoli. It’s a real game changer if you haven’t experience how good arancini can be. The cannoli is filled in front of you and is perfection. Congratulations to the staff for a first class business. The staff are super helpful and friendly and will chat when it’s not to busy.
