“Bought my beef arancini this afternoon. Damn! That was good! And very filling as well. I will definitely try the pistachio one next time. Super nice latte as well. Nice short chat with the owner (hopefully u still remember me. One from the same hometown )”
“I tried two types of arancini - the porcini mushroom and the cacio pepe. This is best had hot and straightaway. Quite flavorful and tasty. I wished there was a bit more of the mushroom filling inside.”
“Looking for a quick pre-theatre bite... With numerous Thai and Lebanese options nearby, beloved surprised me by choosing this small Sicilian spot specializing in arancini. The concept is simple but executed brilliantly - a selection of different flavored arancini that you can pair with drinks. Don't let the straightforward menu fool you; these rice balls pack both tremendous flavor and surprising substance! I ordered the cacio e pepe arancino which was absolutely phenomenal. Beloved picked tomato and mozzarella. Pleasant pizza-like flavors, though not quite as exciting as the cacio e pepe. The true surprise was dessert - an arancino filled with Nutella. The contrast between the crispy exterior and the warm, melted chocolate inside was simply perfect. I'd come here just for this and coffee. These arancini may appear modestly sized, making you question the price point, but be warned - they are incredibly filling! The shop itself is small with limited seating, but that fits its grab-and-go concept perfectly. While I wish the prices were a bit lower, for central London and the quality received, it represents reasonable value.”
“Been 4 times now. Always good. Will keep coming back. Originally came to see if it was worth the hype after going viral - yes it is haha. The sweet pistachio one is great but hard to get them as they’re always sold out. Will always get some savoury ones anyway.”
“The 5* is for the service, both guys were really nice and helpful and made me a mushroom arancini that I've been trying to get for a while. It was very nice and filling. They have some seats outside if you want to sit.”
