While visiting Rome, I stumbled upon a small, unassuming pizza spot tucked away on a side street. The pizza was excellent, but what truly surprised me were the meatballs—tender, rich, and impossibly soft. I was so intrigued that I struck up a conversation with the chef, who revealed the secret: bread soaked in milk. That tip stuck with me. When I returned home, I recreated the experience using freshly ground pork shoulder and a few simple ingredients. These Italian Soft Pork Meatballs are my take on that memory—pillowy, flavorful, and perfect with a crusty slice of bread or on their own.
