This Salmon Orange Salad was nothing short of AMAZING💪🏾🙌🏾❤️ SERIOUSLY best salad I ever had.
We always get the Risottos here ...they don't disappoint. The place was empty and the lights were off when we came in ...but it was open! Maybe a bit of background music would be nice since we ate in a completely empty place and that was kind of weird Other than that service and food were good. This place is inexpensive and It's BYOB!
The food is good. However, I wouldn’t recommend ordering online. Every time I’ve tried to place an order. My order is always cancelled. Today I had an issue with them not canceling the order. Multiple deliver drivers wasted their time driving to pick up the order. And they were told it was cancelled. But it never reflected on their end or mine. I called the restaurant and the woman over the phone was absolutely rude cutting me off and wouldn’t let me speak. Absolutely the worst service ever. Don’t bother ordering if you’re actually hungry you’ll never get your food.
You walk in the door and immediately see a small sign that there is a CC charge when I'm sure 90% pay by card. Then you find out it's BYOB, and they don't tell you either when you make your reservation. For was good service was nice but slow. I would also say a little overpriced.
Haven't been to the Risotto in years, that was our biggest mistake. Revisited Saturday night and to our delight it was fantastic. Rice balls as an app were the best we've ever tried, stuffed pork chop, or should I say pork chops on the bone in a marsala sauce were out if this world, the Rigatoni Bolognese with peas and mushrooms in a creamy red sauce was an exceptional experience. Unfortunately after the bread, the apps and dinner, not to mention a bottle of wine, we just couldn't do dessert. Next time. Go...but make reservations.
Wow ! I had a craving for risotto & I was about to make it on my own. Good thing I found this GEM in Rutherford. Orders for the evening as followed ... crab cakes in mustard sauce & the Rutherford salad ( delicious fresh ingredients including goat cheese & apples ). My entree was the chicken, asparagus risotto & my boyfriend entree seafood risotto. As soon as we arrived we were promptly served with warm bread & butter. BYOB. Wine was corked and poured by the wonderful server we had. Great & calming environment. Definitely a place to go to when in town! Rutherford such a quaint strip to enjoy ! Wonderful, clean restaurant !
Will go again - Now, I am no risotto expert, but I don't know how many risotto specific restaurants there are. However, Risotto House in Rutherford is a must for those who enjoy a risotto dish. I have to say the beginning of my experience was cautious because I wasn't greeted very well. When I arrived waiting to be seated, no one came up to me. Then, when I asked for a table, the waiter looks at the clock based on the ~1 hr. time until they closed. It wasn't very inviting regardless of the short time to close. But, this was somewhat corrected with average waiter service after I sat down. I ordered the risotto con rigola, radicchio gambieri and my I must say that I was surprised on how good this dish was. The inclusion of the radicchio complemented this dish tremendously. It adds a delicious crunchy and earthy taste to every bite. As usual, the risotto was very creamy and the shrimp added a good buttery seafood taste to the dish. I'm quite interested on how good their other risotto dishes must be. The interior is what you would typically find in an Italian restaurant. It has a good, fancy setup good for a casual or date night. The parking is abundant with metered sidewalk parking along Park Ave.
Came to The Risotto House with my friends who live in town. Normally we go to Paisanos which is up the block but it was closed (Sunday). I'm so glad that it was and we found this gem!! we did outdoor dining due to COVID and the service and food was so great and it's BYOB. The Seafood Salad and the Fried Calamari were fantastic appetizers. For my entree I shared the Chicken Milanese special with spinach in VODKA SAUCE!!!!! my husband got the lamb shank that was so tender and flavorful and my one friend got the five cheese risotto which was awesome!!! Everything was not too pricey and very tasty. Thank you Risotto House for the wonderful experience.
