diRiso Risotto Balls

Mindblowingly good sfogliatelle! Crispy on the outside and delicately soft and flavorful inside. Probably the best one I've had so far (and I've had plenty of pretty good ones) and definitely worth a try. Totally surprised  as it was an unusual pick for us at this risotto ball food stall on the UWS. Now I have to try all their other stuff if it's as good as this. Lol. Excellent! More...

I'm not really sure why I waited as long as I did to have these risotto balls again. Initially, I tried them out in the Spring of 2018. I tried the "diRagu" with sweet sausage and beef ragu and it was absolutely bursting with flavor. I don't think I've ever had a risotto ball taste this good even in a restaurant. These were instantly addictive. Next one I tried was the pesto risotto ball and it was another winner. Hands down my favorite diRiso makes. I cannot recommend these risotto balls any more than giving them 5 stars in this review. Fast forward nearly a year later and I happily came across paths with Matteo again (he's the master behind all this goodness) and not only are his risotto balls still unbelievably unbelievable but he's also added panzerotti to the menu. These are a MUST HAVE! If you're not familiar with them they're similar to a calzone and have delicious stuffing. So much flavor it's crazy. Do yourself a favor and seek out diRiso for some delicious italian food. Matteo not only has the skills to dole out good food but you can taste that there's love and pride in what he does. Eat these. Immediately. More...
