Risotto
Risotto is a rice dish cooked in a flavorful broth. Preparing this dish requires patience and a master’s touch to make sure the rice is cooked perfectly. Otherwise, you would feel like you are eating mush. So, having it in Rome guarantees you get the real deal.
Risotto can be eaten as a starter to your meal. Yet it can also be your main course if you want. Though Italians tend to do the latter and enjoy it with a glass of wine. The diversity of risotto recipes available in Rome guarantees you will find one to satisfy your personal taste. |
