Arancini Italian Restaurant

My mom and I came across this place accidentally when trying to find an Italian restaurant to dine in.
Though the place is tiny, it is really accommodating! It was packed and every day of the week when I would find myself driving in front of, it was always packed. The owners are the waiter and waitress and they are super nice! The food is indescribably delicious, very very tasty, the pasta is cooked perfectly ‘al dente’ and dont get me started on their dessert! Definitely recommended!

Incredible food, incredible service! I will definitely be back. The bistecca was amazing. Chicken Picata was delicious. The service was impeccable. Very impressed

Authentic, off the beaten path, best Italian we’ve ever had. I can’t even pick a favorite dish…family of four and each had a different seafood dish. They were amazing!! The place was small and cozy and the service was top notch!

This place is exceptional. It feels more like being invited into someone's home than going to a restaurant. The service is friendly, timely, and sincere. The food is excellent. We've been three times and not been disappointed. I can understand how the low key, crowded ambiance might not be for some people, but those people aren't for me. This place is all substance, no pretense. It's lovely.

Love that it's BYOB.

Come here with a huge appetite. The food’s portions are generous, and extremely flavorful. For appetizers we ate the burrata special it was extremely FRESH and the presentation was very appealing. For entrees I ate the short rib special with linguine it was DIVINE!!!! my mom ate the the chicken piccata she loved the freshness of the sauce mixed with the pasta. Don’t skip on dessert. The desserts were mouth-watering we had the Isa’s Delight and the Tiramisu and let me tell you the balance and the taste of the two dessert were amazing, they had the perfect balance of sweetness. The service was TOP NOTCHED the restaurant was packed and busy and we receive the best service . The space is limited I would recommend making a reservation before you go. The food and the service were phenomenal. I would be coming back again. The restaurant is BYOB which means you can literally bring your own bottle of wine.

If there was a way to give this place more stars I would. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is so good! Everything is made with excellence! The owners are sweethearts, so kind and attentive. This place is very worth it. Had an amazing experience here, definitely coming back!

Quaint restaurant. Delicious food. BYOB only. Will want a reservation due to limited seating. Parking available behind the restaurant or on street. Enjoyed fresh bread and the seafood diablo.

My fiancé and I hosted our first family meet and greet dinner here on a Saturday evening. They typically wouldn’t have allowed us to do this due to the space constraints and the busyness of the restaurant, however, we got so lucky to be able to secure a date! The food was so delicious and the restaurant staff + owner (Cristiano) were so lovely! Thank you so much for a beautiful first time family experience! We will be back!!!

This place is amazing. Went there with my wife for Valentine's day dinner and we were blown away. Appetizers were delicious, the entrees were perfect and dessert was out of this world. This place is a small restaurant, very cozy and homey. Service was top notch, and the portions were very generous. Will definitely be going back many more times. A big plus is that you can bring your own alcoholic beverage (BYOB). This restaurant is definitely worth a try... A+++++

INCREDIBLE FOOD! Way better than most North End Italian restaurants. Service is exceptional, Chris went above and beyond for us, appetizers, the pasta, the Steak (OMG THE STEAK WAS HEAVENLY) dessert, were amazing and the price unbeatable. I can’t say enough things about this place, we will definitely become regulars here. BYOB TOO! I was much better serviced here than in many of some “high-end” restaurants we visited before, this place is a hidden gem.

Cozy restaurant in Woburn with friendly service and amazing Italian food! I had the bolognese and my husband had the chicken piccata, we both really enjoyed. For dessert we had the Isa’s delight (lady fingers fresh fruit and blueberry sauce topping ) which was so delicious! BYOB which I’m making a note of for next time :)

We absolutely LOVE this restaurant. We have lived in Woburn for 3 years, and we have been consistently ordering takeout from here, about once a week. The food is always delicious, perfectly cooked, consistent, and service is outstanding. I would give this 10 stars if I could. My toddler’s favorite Italian food.

We ordered takeout for a big family dinner. The food is delicious! We loved the seafood dishes, the pasta carbonara and bolognese. Really fresh ingredients. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. And the wait time was minimal.

Deeeeelicious food! Quaint small restaurant - ambiance is terrific. A definite must try - worth every cent! Bring your own vino if you want to partake in libations - loved this place.

Excellent food with amazing service. We ordered the chefs special of the day. The food was so flavorful, prepared and served with perfection. Everything taste so fresh. You have to try the arancini!! Thank you so much Santos, Cristiano, Raquel, and Jaime for the amazing customer service!!

Delicious food, wonderful service, very reasonably priced. My dish was cooked to perfection (scallops and risotto special). Lovely and quaint atmosphere -- feels like you're dining with a group of friends. The hidden jewel of Woburn dining.

Byob. Delicious Italian food. Small space and got quite loud with boisterous patrons. Charming service. Get dessert! Fav was the rigatoni Bolognese sauce.

Amazing, no short cut Italian food. Very new restaurant with an owner and staff that cares about the little things and make it right. The food quality just as good or better than the best Italian restaurant in Boston.
Please come support them, they are new and not in a popular location. Try the cannoli, it's fresh and very authentic.
Update: A year later, Arancini still has the same level of service and quality that they did. They should be very proud!

Edit: one year later and they're still at the same quality level as when they first open. Amazing!!

Arancini was very good. Good marks for authenticity and simplicity. Too many places overcomplicate the food, but not here. I especially enjoyed the blueberry torta...it was amazing!

It will look like a hole in the wall, don't worry and go in. The Arancini is obviously good, all the entrees were large, hot and delicious. And, everything is reasonably priced! BYOB for wine and beer.
