The reviews are spot on. Best Arancini I’ve ever had and pizza was superb as well. Great staff, take a number and read the menu ahead of time to decide what you want to order. It’s always busy! Tables outside on the deck or inside. Full bar and drinks. Don’t miss the pistachio arancini.

Amazing Arancini’s at a good price. The best in Sicily! We had the classic meat one and the pistachio one. Both were very good, hot and tasty. Only downside is that they make you pay for forks however the traditional way is to eat with your hands

Humble place, but delicious food. To consider the queue, on average a minimum of half an hour to serve you, remember to take the number to be served. The arancini were extraordinary, simple, but with quality ingredients and freshly cooked

Great pizza slices, arancini and delicious parmigiana. We were there 3 times and each time all the food was delicious and at a reasonable price. Each pizza we tried was tasty, but we highly recommend norma and potato one. I would also recommend to try scaciatte (we are with spinach and mozzarella, very good!) and pasta sfoglia. Parmigiana, despite being reheated, was also super moist and flavorfull with lots of aubergine slices. They also have great drinks and the staff is nice.

Delicious, cheap, friendly people. Definitely stop by if you want the best Sicilian specialties. The arancini were still coming out hot of the kitchen at 11pm. Our friends had a pizza slice and salad and that was great too. The drinks are super cheap too. 3 euro for a beer!

We only went for a quick late lunch but the only options available were sandwiches. They were very tasty and I fel disappointed we couldn't get to try something else as well. I would return. The staff were friendly and service was very quick. The listed prices outside the restaurants don't match the ones on the menu.

I'm half Sicilian and I grew up eating arancini. I can undoubtedly say that Rosticceria Da Cristina has the best arancini I've ever had in my life. Every type of arancini I had was incredible and nothing comes close. My wife and I decided to have dinner here even though it's a takeaway place with limited seating. The place is packed every time we went, but it was worth it. I can't recommend this place enough.

love in a deep-fried rice ball...that's what this place is. the energy of the place, the long queue and justifiably so, the variety of arancinis and pizzas, is just maddeningly good. there's nothing not to like about this place, except maybe the little seating available outdoors. an absolute must when in the city. loved it!

All the food is amazing. Italian easy snacks ( arancini, pizza, lasagna) in small portions so you can grab different ones at once and die happily afterwards. You cannot miss this place

Great value for money! If you want a quick and yummy feed, everything is ready made making it super fast. Arancini, pizza and pasta is delish!

The arancini are very good and filling but the wait is insane during lunch and the system to order seems a little bit inefficient. I would come back but at a different time.

We went to get some Italian 'fast food'. The food was good, especially for the price you have to pay. However the service was a bit weird, as it felt we were 'ignored' (tourists?) and others were served or spoken to before us..

Fully agree with all the positive reviews! We'd heard about it through TripAdvisor and knew we had to hit it. Do take a number and figure out what you want while you wait, while trying to score a seat. We got four different arancini and a sammie but wound up bringing two arancini home for supper. They're filling! Nice service. One of the kind we had ordered wasn't ready and when my husband went back to get it, the guy had put it aside for us. Nice!

We found this place while we were looking for an open place to eat before lunchtime. I am not sure what is the name of these foccacia pizza but both were delicious! The guy who recommended these and served us was very kind and positive, he made our day! Thank you! Totally recommended.

This is a bustling Sicilian restaurant specializing in and serving very good arencino (traditional fried rice balls) along with pizza variations and some other local delicacies. Both my wife and I recommend at least one visit for arencino and a return in order to try some of the other lesser known offerings.
