Hotel Benaco In Desenzano del garda

08/11/2025: Truly exquisite food of high quality and courteous service at an affordable price...to try and try again

29/10/2025: I was passing through Brescia just before closing time and stopped by Rosticceria L'Etna almost by chance. There were only four arancini on display, because, rightfully, they were about to close. At first, I only ordered one with ragù and ate it right there… I was literally amazed. It was exquisite! So good that I couldn't resist and ate the other one too. Delicious, truly. Large, well-filled, with just the right amount of crispy breading, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I felt like I was back in Sicily, back home. An arancini worthy of its name, prepared with care and passion. It's not often you find such quality outside of Sicily. The owners are incredibly kind. If you're passing through Brescia, stop by! Update: I've returned to Piedi dell'Etna for the second, and then third, time, a sign that the first experience had already won me over. I tried the cartocciate with mushrooms and ham, the pizza by the slice, the pistachio arancino, the semolina bread, and the cannoli. As a true Sicilian with a refined palate, having traveled all over Sicily, I can honestly say that I never expected to find such a delicious arancino in Brescia. It's even better than many found in Sicily: full of pistachio cream, perfectly cooked rice, enormous size, and a very fair price (only 3 euros). The semolina bread and the cannoli are also exceptional, authentic in flavor and freshness. Everything is highly recommended, sincere compliments!
