Tastes like fried csrdboard
These are so nasty. There’s no flavor. Just the taste of whatever oil is on the breading.

Not vegetarian
Why is this not vegetarian?
1 reply from Bertoli Consumer Care team - 8 months ago
Hi. Thanks for reaching out to us regarding our Bertolli Italian Rice product. We would like you to know that if the label says 'vegetarian' it is not vegan. A food is 'vegan' if it contains no animal products and 'vegetarian' if it contains no animal flesh. Please review the packaging to determine if the product is vegetarian or vegan certified, as they will be called out on the package. We hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Just ok
Kind of bland. I made it in the oven, maybe it can get more crispy in the airfryer.

Good Taste, Good Price
I have loved these for a while, The problem Is the last two boxes I bought looked like chicken nuggets. Then I tried to contact the company and they said Oh we don't sell the Bertolli frozen foods they are sold by another company funny to me as your website shows them as the rest of line of frozen foods. I wish someone could tell me why these are shaped like nuggets when the picture shows balls. Doesn't make sense.

They aren't very good
They just don't have much flavor. Very bland, boring and almost inedible.

Very Pleasantly Surprised
These were way better than I thought they would be. I think the people leaving negative reviews must not like parmesan cheese, because the "aftertaste" is parmesan cheese. I love how crunchy the outside is and is perfectly creamy like risotto on the inside. Mine weren't in ball shape, they were flatter, but that didn't change the taste. I dipped them in Rao's and they were fantastic

My son loves these
These Sicilian rice balls are easy to make in the air fryer. This is the first thing my teenage son will make for a snack if we have some in the freezer.
