We had the Burrata bruschetta and the Milanese risotto. Everything was absolutely perfect!
Gluten free experience absolutely incredible! Safe for celiacs, everything delicious, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. The tasting menu is really worth it. I highly recommend Risus!
Incredible experience dining here! We have a tasting menu which included several snacks, rissotto and a divine dessert. The restautant is 95% gluten free so cross contamination is very minimal if not impossible! It’s a heaven for people with coeliac disease and incredibly flavorful meals. Highly recommend!
The risotto with shrimps and stracciatella was a real delight – creamy, perfectly cooked, and balanced with just the right touch of seafood sweetness and the richness of the cheese. Every bite felt indulgent without being heavy. Service was decent, though not exceptional, and the only downside was the noise level inside, which made it hard to fully relax. Still, the food itself made it worth the visit.
I discovered this place by accident on a cold winter’s evening. What attracted me initially was the simple yet elegant decor. I could not be happier. It is a risotto lover’s paradise. There is an extensive risotto menu with interesting combinations. I ordered the combination of Padano cheese, duck breast slices and caramelized chard. It was exquisite: flavor, texture, color, presentation. That was followed by an equally delicious rice foam dessert of hazelnuts, almonds and caramel. Absolutely try this restaurant. I might add that the attentive service matched the amazing food.
Chic and elegant, Risus not only embodies the Milan essence in its atmosphere but also in its food. Proudly highlighting northern Italy’s signature grain, Risus offers you an adventure into one of the nations oldest and most cherished dishes. Try one of many unique and exceptionally flavorful Risotto helpings that won’t over stuff you with carbohydrates and won’t break your wallet. This is a must if you’re looking to deep dive into Italy’s original grain dish.
