Supplì al Telefono

Supplì al Telefono are fried rice balls stuffed with mozzarella that stretches into long 'telephone cords' when pulled apart—a street-food icon since the 19th century. Each supplì contains roughly 200 calories and 8 grams of protein, with a crunchy exterior giving way to creamy risotto. Over 40% of Roman bakeries sell them, yet only 20% achieve a cheese pull of at least 15 centimeters, marking the difference between good and exceptional.
