With smoked mozzarella and sun-dried tomato pesto. Banquet-style dinner
Ragazza, San Francisco CA
We came here for a friend’s birthday celebration and sat in the cool white tent located in the back patio. We had a great time with amazing friends and, of course, the food was fabulous. These arancini were delicious and perfectly cooked (not greasy at all!). The smoked mozzarella inside the fried risotto ball was gooey and flavorful, and the accompanying meat sauce was wonderful too.

I really liked this (tacky) cowboy statue at the de Young Museum, hehe! Hey, it has lots of movement! 🙂
I have never, never tasted this dish.
What?! Aracini are amazing and simple to make too! Is that your sarcasm again, and I was just fooled?
have never had arancini, but your post has moved it much higher on my to-try list! and lol, what’s wrong with the statue? 😉
OMG, you’re the second person who’s said that they haven’t had arancini! You must find some now! They’re kinda amazing and I’ve made them at home too. They’re just fried risotto balls and most people will stuff them with delicious fillings (mostly more cheese). 🙂 The statue just looks cheap and tacky to me, lol!
Vincente – Did you see the Top Chef episode this season when everyone made fried arancini? The judges were miffed, but I was just HUNGRY. Who can argue with fried risotto stuffed with cheese? Glad yours were well-seasoned and not greasy. Best – Shanna PS Tacky cowboy statue is ridiculous – but endearing in an odd way. 🙂
Yeah, I saw that episode. I would totally fail on an arancini showdown, but I sure love eating them!
Same here Vicente! 🙂 MMMM.
