The long, fast-moving line snaking toward the door is your first clue that this cafeteria-style spot just off the Freedom Trail is a bargain. Then you notice that most of the customers are locals and businesspeople. The food is worth the wait. You can fill up on a couple of slices of pizza, but for the true experience, try arancini (a deep-fried rice ball filled with ground beef, peas, and cheese). Calzones -- ham and cheese; spinach; spinach and cheese; or spinach, sausage, and cheese -- and mozzarella-stuffed potato croquettes (panzarotti) are also tasty. Study the cases of food while you wait and be ready to order at once when you reach the head of the line. Pause for a quick lunch and get on with your sightseeing.
