My good friend Thomas brought over Sfogliatelle and apricot pastries last night that blew my mind and palate. So, I dropped by today to more and the Bab Rustico (OMG) rice balls and lasagna. Don't let the small size fool you! All the food here is simply outstanding!!

The Sleepy Hollow farmer's market has plenty of food options for lunch. However I wasn't passing by DiRiso's m. It's hard to find rice balls in general, let alone good ones, so I picked some up for lunch as well as sandwiches. I had a bit of sticker shock at the register (like $45 for 2 sandwiches, 2 balls, and a sfogliatelle), but I shouldered on. Got the soppresata sandwich on homemade ciabatta. This was a better sandwich than it looked at first. The bread really made it; clearly homemade, it almost tasted like 2 slices of cheese Roman pizza Bianca. The soppresata, mozzarella, roasted red pepper and arugula was about as well balanced as could be. Wish it was a bit bigger, but the quality hit the spot. The traditional rice ball was one of the best I've had anywhere. I can see why they specialize in it; had a good ratio of meat to rice, great tomato flavor packed in, and perfectly fried. Mushroom rice ball was packed with mushroom flavor, although that's not my thing so it wasn't my favorite. Sfogliatelle was pretty damned good too. It's worth it to pay for quality. I can see why these guys have a storefront in Hastings in addition to their farm stands. This food is worth traveling for although it's awesome to have it by home.
