If you love rice, you have rizz, that’s just a fact. But if you’ve never had risotto, then you’re absolutely missing out. A classic northern Italian dish, it’s made by simmering high-starch, short grain rice such as Italian Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone rice in broth or stock until it reaches a creamy consistency. There are very few ingredients in a traditional risotto, but requires a high amount of technique (and love!). Every bite will fill your tastebuds with intense flavour with just the right amount of bite, and is an extremely comforting dish that’s a staple in every good Italian restaurant. If you’re looking for a spin on every Asian’s favourite thing in the world, rice, look no further than the best places for risotto in Singapore.

They have a large assortment of wine and dessert, and they also boast a menu to die for. We recommend their risotto con gambero rosso del mediterraneo for the impeccable seafood flavour.
