PAPISCA Tavola calda / Gelateria

Very slow service. Waited more than an hour for some pre-cooked pasta, that ended up being just lukewarm.

Wow. This place is stunning, for real. I have been here to have lunch, dinner and some breaks. The arancine are sublime as well as the granita. A local speciality is the "pane cunzato". You have to try it. I'm giving 4 stars due to just a reason: when I had lunch I waited more than 45 minutes to have a beer and a pane cunzato. They told me there was a lack of personnel but it's anyway unacceptable

Just like nonna used to make! Friendly, unpretentious service. Some staff spoke English which was helpful, but those that don't were patient. My grandparents moved from there 60 years ago and the food at Papisca took me back to their style of cooking. We came in the morning (around 11) and they had a very limited menu, but later after a swim they had the full lunch offerings laid out inside.

Best arancini (fried rice balls stuffed with meat, vegetables & cheese) we ever had during our stay in Sicily! The Aperol Spritz comes with different kinds of tasty snacks and the icecream variations are delicious :) All thumps up for this place!
