Terra D’Amuri
About
Terra D’Amuri is a Melrose-based business making authentic Sicilian arancine, the stuffed and fried rice balls common across Sicily. Each one is rolled by hand, made fresh with local ingredients and time-honored recipes, and fried golden. The menu runs from traditional fillings to seasonal twists, and the business brings fresh, hot arancine to farmers markets, festivals and pop-up events around the area.
Owners Antonella and Paolo met in Bagheria, Sicily, and married in 2013 after years of long distance. Antonella worked as a phlebotomist and Paolo in masonry and tile while raising three children. A 2023 trip to Sicily inspired them to start the business that year, launching at Kitchen Local and debuting at the North Andover and Haverhill farmers markets. They aim to correct misconceptions, too: in Sicilian tradition, arancine are not served with sauce.
