Kristy has been hanging to eat at The Risotteria in Grenwich Village since the day that we walked past it, and yesterday she got her wish! We were all craving some carbs after our huge workout in the morning, so risotto seemed like a sweet fit.
The restaurant is quite small, but always seems very busy, even at the unusual time of 4:30PM that we were eating. Needless to say, we all ordered risotto – Kristy got chicken with pine nuts, Jo had calamari with olives and hot peppers, and I had roast lamb with spinach and Gorgonzola. It was a tough choice though – the menu has about 25 different risottos on it, including heaps of vegetarian ones (we thought of you, Cathy!) and almost all glutton gluten free.
Not surprisingly, our meals were all delicious, and decent value for around 10 – 15 bucks for each of our huge servings. They also serve a $15 bottle of their “wine of the month”; yesterday’s was a Coppola red blend which was fantastic!
We will certainly be dining there again. gerrod.com rating: 8.5/10.

It is so pleasing to hear of restaurants offering more than one token vegetarian menu option!
I do like Gorgonzola! Sounds like a great place guy’s, I love Italian dishes.
