As soon as a menu was presented to me during a recent visit to Il Seme, I knew the first thing to order was the arancini. Arancini are balls of rice, often made with leftover risotto and filled with cheese (although meats and vegetables can also be used), which have been breaded and fried until golden brown.
At Il Seme, they come filled with ground lamb or mozzarella cheese. We opted for the cheese-stuffed version ($7), which arrived at the table in a small bowl, and sitting atop a few generous spoonfuls of a tomato sauce.
