New Pop-Up: Empire Arancini

News

Empire Arancini is now serving at the first floor café of Brooklyn Beauty Fashion Labo as a limited-time pop-up.

Empire Arancini is Brooklyn’s newest pop-up dedicated to the golden art of arancini—crispy, stuffed rice balls—reimagined with bold global flair. From traditional favorites like our Classic Ragù or Saffron & Bone Marrow alla Milanese, to inventive Japanese-inspired creations like Okonomiyaki Arancino and Miso Shiitake & Scallion, every bite blends comfort with curiosity.

But we don’t stop at rice balls. Our menu features Tramezzini—delicate Italian crustless tea sandwiches with both nostalgic and unexpected fillings, like Prosciutto & Fontina, California Roll–style Crab & Avocado, and Egg Salad with Nori. Rounding it out are handmade Polpette—Italian-style meatballs with a twist—including Tsukune-style Chicken and Eggplant & Miso.

Come visit us at the J-Collabo Hub in Brooklyn, open Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm to 6pm. Find out why we’re called Empire Arancini: where every sphere, sandwich, and meatball rules its own tiny flavor kingdom.

Italian soul. Japanese edge. Brooklyn spirit.
