“Second time's a charm - Crispy calamari, which approach the crispest, come in a petite paper bag with a dipping sauce of real Italian marinara. Arancini likewise have the crispest crust yet on these rice balls (two, the size of tennis balls). These are heavily flavored with saffron; they are also somewhat flavored with lobster and peas at the center, but taste mostly of creamy carnaroli, my favorite of the imported short-grain rices for risotto.”- The Boston Phoenix
