We were celebrating an anniversary knowing we would enjoy a delicious meal and excellent service. We were delighted when the owner brought a special dessert presentation gratis that elevated our whole experience! Wish we lived closer so we could frequent Risotto all the time, but we’ll definitely make a dinner stop every time we come through the area.
