(This venue is closed.) With deep-fried golden shells intact, they briefly put up a firm defense.
But unlike their cousin the arancino, after one bite Joe's prosciutto balls (six for $3.90) collapse onto a filling of "peppery Locatelli-spiked ricotta, chewy mozzarella, and boiled ham"; at heart, they're real softies. And when you put your fingers into a bunch of goo that a moment before was a pristine prosciutto ball, you'll know what to do.
