Faicco's

I had balls for lunch.  Rice balls that is.  Arancini to be precise.  

I went to Faicco's an authentic Italian specialty store where you can get pre made lasagna and other pastas - as well as HUGE meat filled sandwiches and arancini.  And this arancini is arancini to write home about.

Arancini is Sicilian fried rice ball. The name arancini means "little orange" because the rice balls are shaped like little oranges.  However, savory and extremely filling,filled with delicious fresh cheese and rice,  they taste little like an orange.  

People ask for recommendation of where to eat in the village - may I suggest getting a sandwich or arancini (or both) at Faicco's and then heading to Father Demo Square so a delightful village picnic.  Faicco's is on 260 Bleeker street.
