AMAZING
1st RISOTTO MILANESE
Forma Restaurant & Cheese Bar, Santa Monica
rice, saffron, veal ossobuco - tossed in grana padano cheese. The ossobuco is amazing! Fork tender.
2nd LOBSTER RISOTTO
Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen, Stateline
Butter-poached lobster tail, truffle risotto, crispy onions. Excellent! Texture was a bit smooth for a risotto, but the flavor was great and I really enjoyed the crispy onions
REALLY GOOD
3rd WHITE ASPARAGUS RISOTTO
Marino Restaurant, Los Angeles
Great texture. Not my favorite flavor profile.
PRETTY GOOD
4th LOBSTER RISOTTO
Charlie Palmer Steak Napa, Napa
mascarpone | micro celery | lemon zest | parmesan. Great texture, but too much lemon.
5th SPELT WHEAT RISOTTO
Teppan, Mauregard
Very toothsome, but interesting. Felt like barley
6th WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Perch, Los Angeles
Parmesan and mascarpone cheese. This was our least favorite dish. Very creamy and not much texture to the risotto. A little grainy too. Nice flavor though.
NOT FOR ME
7th SEAFOOD RISOTTO
Il Fornaio Woodland Hills, Los Angeles
This is thankfully not on their regular menu. This "risotto" has shrimp and crab. It's just seafood rice. It was soo fishy that I threw it away after 2 bites.
