Absolutely amazing experience at Arancini! ✨
The food is delicious — perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. Everything was a 10/10! The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend!

Very unassuming restaurant and staff, from the minute I called asking for a table to the minute we said goodbye they were extremely friendly and treated us like family. They are a byob restaurant and believe me this is a hidden gem. Every single dish was crafted to perfection and you also can tell, with love! Dessert was on the house Tiramisu and this is the second best I have ever had aside from the one my Italian uncle makes at home. Thank You!

Arancini is my favorite Italian restaurant! Authentic, delicious food and beautifully presented dishes every time. It’s BYOB, which makes the experience even more special. Chris and Raquel are incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home. Always coming back for more. Jesiel and Jade

This is a reservations only as the restaurant is literally inside a home. It’s quaint with mostly tables for 2. I did see 2 tables set for 6 ppl. Very generous portions. I highly recommend the octopus salad if it’s offered on the menu as you won’t be disappointed. The short ribs with gnocchi were tender, flavorful and satisfying. The desserts were light and yummy. Staff were friendly. It felt like you’re eating in a family home. This place exceeded my expectations on Italian cuisine in Boston. Highly recommend this place if you have not try it. Shhhh, my secret is out.
One thing I forgot to mention is the restaurant does add a fee for non-cash adj.

So good! It is just a little place, but bustling with happy diners. We were so glad to be able to get a table because it was almost full. A little loud with so the conversations, but I can’t wait to go back.

Went with friends for a holiday dinner. Started with the grilled octopus with potatoes, peppers,and capers, the perfect size for 4 people to share. Everyone enjoyed their meal, scallops, stuffed sole, bistecca, and short rib with gnocchi, which were so light! Finished with an order of cannoli and coffee! The servers were attentive, and not intrusive. We brought several beverages for dinner, and we’re able to get the glasses we needed! The food and service never disappoint!

First off the ambiance and lighting in this place was fantastic! Such a chill but slightly classy vibe, simply on point! The staff was friendly, kind, and charming they even accommodated our 9 month old with a highchair! The dishes are lovingly created in house, the time and effort put into every dish shines through. Each dish tasted like nothing I’d ever had before, with a depth of flavor I can only describe as, for this writer, transcendent. 5 stars across the board! Worth every penny and more, will never forget our experience!

We had an opportunity to dine at Arancini for our first time! It definitely won’t be our last! We enjoyed a Arancini appetizer which was delicious. Our meals were very good and nice portions. We enjoyed chicken parmigiana and chicken Marsala which they served with vegetables as a substitute (requested ) for pasta! They also have some nice homemade desserts! Being BYOB we were able to bring our own wine!

A little cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant on the side of a busy main street that may be easily overlooked from the outside! 8 or 9 tables inside. Fills up quickly. A few parking spots in the back. BYOB.
Food wise everything is so good! Excellent service, warm staff, beautiful background music, very enjoyable experience. This is one of the few places where you get your money worth for superb food at a reasonable price!
