Risotteria (CLOSED)

It’s a bold move to build a restaurant around risotto—but then again, risotto makes the perfect canvas for just about any ingredient. Choose from three types of rice imported from the Po valley: traditional arborio, creamy carnaroli or delicate vialone nano. Then select what you want in the dish, from 50 combinations of exceptional ingredients. The indecisive will be torn between such offerings as lamb and spinach with lemon, or Italian sausage with portobello and oven-dried tomatoes. (Pizza, salads and panini are also available.) If you’ve ever struggled to make the perfect risotto at home, you’ll marvel at the precision: When the bowl arrives at your table, the last drop of broth evaporates before your eyes
