So yesterday was my 52 birthday and I had been looking forward to my Birthday dinner for days. I had been to Risotto a few time and my favorite dish is risotto:)
Yesterday was a comedy of errors. You know, those nights when a series of things just happened to go wrong.
This is the first time I have ever experienced this here. A forgotten appetizer, then my dish was not completely cooked so I asked for that appetizer while I thought they were fixing my dish… well my server thought I cancelled my dish…. You get the idea. We all have these nights and I just had a week where I made a series of mistakes so I totally got it.
I stayed put because dammit I wanted that Risotto! It was amazing. Everything I could have hoped for. I had the seabass special and wow!
At this point my husband and I were laughing because we really thought is was funny. We could tell that Kevin and the staff felt terrible.
So time for the check and I assumed the might comp my cappuccino or something. Kevin would NOT LET US PAY. I mean we don’t drink so our bill was just food, but still! I have never experienced that level of ownership.
The man got on his knees at our table and said please forgive us and would not let us pay 🤯
I always loved that place, but now we are customers for life!!!!
Thank you Keven for making my day so special and my meal...
Read moreWe stopped for lunch at Risotto while traveling through the Hudson Valley. We were expecting homey Italian food, but what we ate at Rissotto was truly surprising. We ordered a rissotto with creamy vodka sauce that had us wondering why this combination of two classic Italian dishes isn’t a staple across Italian restaurant menus. The real standout though was the Cacio e Peppe which is made table side by the chef. The show alone is worth coming here but the dish itself, like the risotto, is an unexpected but very satisfying combination of the classic cacio e peppe coooked with pancetta and topped with an egg which gives the dish a carbonara-meets-cacio e peppe feel. Had we not stuffed ourselves with the great housemade bread and calamari, we would have ordered dessert. As we paid though, we were left regretting the decision to skip dessert as another table was treated to a whimsical, video-worthy dessert presentation. We will definitely be back next time we are...
Read moreOverpriced, small portions and uneditable food. Someone told me I would love this restaurant and they were seriously wrong! I ordered Chicken Marsala and it had an orange sauce, (tomato sauce mixed in) had zero wine taste and had parmesean sprinkled on top. It was the worst chicken marsala I ever had. I told the waiter it was terrible and he packed up my whole dish. We had to ask for the manager who denied the sauce was orange, justified the cheese on top of the mushrooms that it was for the pasta. He finally removed it from the bill. My boyfriend ordered the cowboy steak. They gave him 5 little slices for $41!!! Any good restaurant doesn't cut the steak and give a full steak. I felt so bad for suggesting this restaurant since we were both starving. I took him to a known restaurant for good italian food with normal...
