Arancini Italian Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Arancini Italian Restaurant is like being warmly invited into a cherished home where every detail whispers of comfort and careful craft. Tucked away on Main Street in Woburn, this unassuming spot offers an intimate dining experience framed by cozy tables set mostly for two, with occasional larger group settings that maintain the close-knit feeling. The pace here settles you—unhurried and easy—encouraging genuine connection, whether with your company or the flavors before you.
The atmosphere hums with the quiet buzz of happy diners, creating a lively but never overwhelming backdrop that invites relaxed conversation. With its distinctive charm, it feels less like a restaurant and more like a gathering place where people return not just for the food, but for the subtle moments that make a meal memorable.
The menu gently reveals itself through lovingly prepared dishes that reflect the heart of Italian cooking. Rich, homey scents of garlic, herbs, and slow-simmered sauces mingle with the soft clink of plates, setting the stage for a deeply satisfying meal. Whether you find yourself savoring tender short ribs over fluffy gnocchi or delighting in a plate of perfectly grilled sirloin accompanied by seasonal vegetables, each bite speaks of care and tradition. And because Arancini is a BYOB spot, you’re invited to pair these flavors with your favorite bottle, adding a personalized touch to your experience.
Desserts here carry the same warmth—light, thoughtfully crafted sweet endings like tiramisu or a vibrant blueberry torta cake balance the meal with a gentle flourish, often prompting smiles and quiet appreciation. The staff enhances the experience with attentive, friendly service, making every visitor feel more like a guest than just a diner.
What truly sets Arancini apart is its ability to merge the familiar with the unexpected, offering a space where culinary delight and heartfelt hospitality come together seamlessly, inviting you back again and again.

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.

The food is so good that makes me going back again and again. The waiter/waitress is friendly and service is excellent too.

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!

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.

This place lives up to its high rating. Excellent food and service. The arancini was amazing. My chicken parm was great. The cannoli, exceptional. Highly recommend, especially at the price point. Not too expensive and the meal sizes were nice and large.

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!
