Arancino of Sicily

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.

Food - I’ve spent enough time in Sicily to know the taste of decent Arancino (yes, East side represent!). The best Arancino in London. One bite, I was back in Catania! Service - server was welcoming and helpful Atmosphere - it was quiet when we got there. They’ve just opened up a space downstairs, if ever you want to hide your affairs, nobody you know will find you there

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.

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 😁)

Beef arancino was delicious :) I definitely want to try mushroom next time 🥹 Thanks to the friendly staff, my day was happy. Thank you :)

These were very yummy and filling. Definitely recommend the mushroom and beef one! I would come back and try their other flavours. Service could have been a little friendlier as the cashier forgot to add the latte I had asked for. The price is decent for London but for what it is, I’d say it is a little on the pricey side but worth it for a good quick filling snack.

Delicious Arancini! Best I’ve ever had - great flavours and super crispy! Staff were very friendly and recommended the mushroom arancini which was 10/10! I’ve cycled past this place for years without visiting, it’s a real hidden gem near Covent Garden! Everyone must visit!
