I had passed by this place so many times with the desire to go down those stairs and try it, but never got around to doing it. Luckily I had an hour in my parking spot left and decided to give it a go. I am of Sicilian heritage and have never even heard of arancini. Basically a fried risotto ball stuffed with some seriously delicious stuff. I was very grateful that they were serving vegetarian versions because it seemed like a traditionally meat filled ball.
The two working when I went in were so incredibly friendly and helpful. I was walked through every dish they had and everything was explained. They even explained how their pizza had both a crunch and a chew (they were correct about that by the way). I couldn't decide between the arancini and pizza so I decided to be gluttonous and get both!
The first thing I noticed was how rich it was but also that neither item was overly salty. Having a slice of pizza that is not covered in salt made me realize that most every other slice of pizza I have had in my life was over-salted. Incredible, fresh tasting ingredients went into both dishes. You have a great view of everything happening in the kitchen, which was immaculate. I was very impressed and will wbe returning.
