A Taste of Traditional Italian Cuisine
Nicola’s Marketplace’s Sicilian Arancini showcase the rich flavors of a traditional Italian recipe. Hand-rolled and made with saffron risotto, these rice balls are filled with beef ragù and peas before being breaded and fried until golden brown. The result is a satisfying combination of savory filling, seasoned rice, and a crisp exterior.
For customers who enjoy a classic cheese-forward option, the Mozzarella Arancini offer a delicious alternative. Made with risotto and mozzarella, they feature Parmigiano Reggiano cheese imported from Parma, Italy. Their creamy, cheesy center and crispy coating make them a welcome addition to family meals, gatherings, and special occasions.
Available in both regular and mini varieties, the arancini provide versatile serving options, whether presented as an appetizer, served alongside a main course, or enjoyed as a satisfying snack. Customers can also discover other Italian specialty foods to complement their meals.
Handcrafted Quality and Convenient Dining
Nicola’s Marketplace is committed to bringing carefully crafted Italian foods to customers beyond the traditional specialty market. Its arancini reflect this commitment through traditional preparation methods and thoughtfully selected ingredients.
Made fresh to order, the arancini are shipped frozen or partially thawed, allowing customers to store them in the freezer and prepare them according to the package instructions. This convenient format makes it easier to enjoy a classic Italian dish at home without having to prepare it from scratch.
The arancini can be served with tomato sauce for dipping, making them an appealing addition to an Italian-inspired dinner, an appetizer spread, or a casual gathering with friends and family. Customers looking to complete their meal can explore Nicola’s selection of Italian sauces and fresh pasta.
