I have always been a huge fan of the late chef Anthony Bordain and his recommendations are always on point. Al Gatto Nero in Burrano Venice was always his point of reference for great risotto. So a few years back while in Italy in Milan we took a day pillgramage to Venice to taste this risotto. 6 HOURS later.. a train.. a ferry.. a few missed alley ways LOTS of rain we arrived very wet to our nearly missed reservation and OMG it was ALL worth it! Best risotto EVER! It’s always a hit every time I make this dish so it made the trip SO worth while! Some cooking tips:
I add some carrots and celery to mine but the most important thing is you need make a proper fish stock else this dish will fail epically..
