Risotto

I feel like I am eating out a lot! But with being out of town and having a few events I have been trying a lot of new restaurants. Eating out is a stress reliever for me and is relaxing. It is great to catch up with a friend over dinner and just chat about life. My latest adventure was at Risotto in Uptown. Risotto has been open for a few years and specializes in Italian cuisine, specifically risotto. Since risotto is one of my favorite dishes to make I figured it was about time I visited a restaurant that has lots of unique flavors in their risotto.

I started with a cup of the house soup which had beans, veggies and a good broth. Very much comfort food on a cold winter night.

My risotto of choice had sautéed shallots and house-made spicy sicilian sausage with saffron and asparagus finished with grana padana cheese. I think I will have a least 3 meals out of this. So delicious!

The nice part is I know I could recreate this at home
