Risotto - Who Serves The Best...?

[rjm]

Its never been a "go -to" dish for me but I've recently started to develop a serious craving for it (?) -- preferring the simpler versions that don't include seafood, meat or too many different types of vegetables. Where should I try/do you love? Uptown or downtown...willing to travel. :)

Picholine used to have a duck and wild mushroom risotto that is amazing.

craft had a great beet risotto for about a year or so on the menu.

The mushroom risotto at Cafe Gray is incredible.

I agree. We just ate there last Friday and they are better than ever. By the way, don't be afraid to order two starters (the risotto is a starter) as the risotto is quite rich.

Didn't risotteria close? I like Da Andrea's risotto specials... and since i get take out every week, they'll make me risotto by special order (um, saffron, mushroom, and shrimp please, Titziana!)

nope, risotteria is most definitely still there. i just called and spoke with a guy who said the confusion may be due to the vacation they recently took.

the risotto at Felidia was pretty damn good.

Risotteria is my personal fave as well. It most certainly isn't closed as I just ate there last Sat nite. Delicious as usual.

Le Cirque actually has some damn good mushroom rizzy

Thank you. Tried the Risotto at Fred's (at Barney's uptown) today. It was great.

i like risotteria on bleecker. they have a long list of risotto options.
i'm sure there are better places but this one is obviously dedicated to risotto and i don't know of any other places with this many risotto options.

it's very cramped and nothing fancy. here are some reviews and a menu:
