AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the supplì at Crancio, calling it a standout bite. The overall vibe is warm and unpretentious, with food that feels both rustic and deeply satisfying.
“The supplì has a homemade breading, you can see it's all uneven, but it's a bit soggy. The rice is cooked well, the mozzarella is good and stringy inside, but the breading and the tomato sauce don't work for me. I'd give it a 6.5.”

A solid 8 out of 10 pizzeria with a great dough but some execution issues on the supplì and the Margherita's bottom.
Dishes mentioned
Supplì
The supplì has a homemade breading, you can see it's all uneven, but it's a bit soggy. The rice is cooked well, the mozzarella is good and stringy inside, but the breading and the tomato sauce don't work for me. I'd give it a 6.5.
Crocchetta di Patate
This croquette is on another level. The breading is much crunchier, you can really taste the lemon in the ingredients, it's well bound. It's a super croquette, but it's small. I'd give it an 8.5 or 9.
Pizza Margherita
The Margherita is good, the tomato is good, the mozzarella too, the dough is well made. But there are some burnt spots on the bottom, the heat was too high. I'd give it around 8.
Pizza Ripiena con Prosciutto e Mozzarella
The stuffed pizza is really good, the filling is just right, you can taste the dough better. I would have eaten half a tray of this. It's a solid 9.
