AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food

Crispelle salate, a fried dough filled with ricotta and anchovies, earns unanimous praise for its crisp, savory perfection. Reviewers describe Friggitoria Stella’s food as a warm, soulful taste of authentic Sicilian street food.

At Friggitoria Stella I had the savory crispelle with ricotta. The batter is super thick and crunchy — it crackles under your teeth like a cracker. Inside is a ball of sheep's ricotta that's very firm. The whole thing is fried in pure lard, which makes it incredibly light despite being so substantial. It reminded me of the fried cucoli my grandmother used to make. It's so hot it could burn your palate — they warned me to eat them hot and they were right. Cost €9 for a bag of 600g.
