Arancini are crispy fried rice balls with a golden crust and a soft, flavorful filling, typically stuffed with ragu (meat sauce), mozzarella cheese, vegetables, or seafood. This beloved street food is especially popular in Sicily. Visitors can find Arancini everywhere—from street stalls and casual bars to upscale restaurants throughout Italy. Notably, Arancini from Catania and Messina often feature a unique cone shape, inspired by Mount Etna, showcasing the richness and creativity of Italian food.
