I live 2 miles from Rice Village and always forget about this place when I'm craving Italian. My sister and I recently stopped in for dinner. I started with a petite Caesar, which was fresh and flavorable and not saturated with dressing. I then ordered the pumpkin and shrimp risotto with pancetta, and she had the primavera risotto with corn and asparagus among other veggies. Both dishes were heavenly. I would love to have this dish once a week, but it's loaded with sinful ingredients. I ate the rest of my risotto for breakfast the next day, and was reminded why I need to visit this place more often.
Pros: friendly staff, bustling atmosphere
Cons: parking, cramped waiting area
