Supplì are rome's answer to sicilian arancini but honestly way better. Crispy outside, creamy risotto inside, melted mozzarella that stretches when you bite it. Romans call it 'supplì al telefono' because the cheese looks like old phone wires

Find them at pizza al taglio shops throughout the city doing creative fillings like carbonara and amatriciana alongside classic tomato mozzarella. Da enzo al 29 in trastevere makes them fresh every morning

You see them in glass cases at pizza al taglio shops throughout the city. Perfect afternoon snack between meals. Way more filling than you expect and cheaper than any tourist snack

Trust me once you try proper supplì you'll understand why romans eat them standing up with small beer. Its like comfort food perfection in one bite
