Round here is was always made with meatballs (which are basically chopped meat flavoured with cheese, spices, etc. Pieces of lamb and chicken are also ok. And what I also like thrown in is some nice braciole.
My grandmother made meatballs that would knock your socks off. And braccioli is da kine, although most non-Italians don't even know what it is.
