The Risotto House

"Hello my foodies. I went here with my coworkers to celebrate our company Xmas dinner in Jan! Better late than never. My friend recommended this place and it was a good place. It's small, but well lit and very friendly atmosphere. The owners daughter was our host and server along with some other very nice staff. It was a Wednesday so it was very quiet in the restaurant. Probably one of their slower days, but we were fine without the crowds. Everything we ordered was great, except the pasta fagoli soup I had. It wasn't terrible, but the broth had no flavor. I still ate it, though, because my Dr. says to cut back on the salt anyway. It was still passable! Everything else was great, and they even let you BYOB, and they let us bring in a small cake. My friends wanted to re-do my birthday cake since the last place I went to was awful! I'll update you on that place in a moment! I had the penne vodka with chicken. I love penne vodka, but I find it hard to find a place that makes it good. This place made it very well. Delicious! I recommend this place as they have a great variety of items to choose from, true Italian style dishes. We had a wonderful time here. And it's not bad on your pocketbook either. If you're in the area, stop by and check it out. Parking is on the street. Meters are done by 7pm."

"It was the worst risotto and bruschetta I've ever had. This place is a joke and the two waitresses are rude, they have not idea about customer service. Can you imagine spending your money in a place that makes you feel uncomfortable. The busboy was very nice."

"THE MOST UNDERRATED ITALIAN ON PARK AVE. This place is so damn good. The risotto is outstanding. I ordered the stuffed shrimp over risotto. The risotto was the best I ever had. It had asparagus in it which was the perfect amount of crunch and nice large pieces of garlic in it. The stuffed shrimp was delicious as was everything else we ordered. The mango salad was delicious had almonds and jalepeno so good and the seafood salad was so fresh and a nice size portion. We also got penne vodka with chicken and a tomato risotto with calamari all very good. Tiramisu was excellent! It’s great take out but dining in is very cozy ! Excellent prices worth every penny."

"Great time and very good food! Standard bread to start, but went with some bruschetta also. I liked how they added roasted tomatoes to the mix. Got the Ceasar salad also, very good croutons. We finished the apps with calamari, which was fried well. We got the brasiolle (probably spelled wrong) and the chicken parm but with vodka sauce. The brasiolle was unique, I haven't had it that was before, almost like stuffed into what I think was chicken, but it was really tasty. The chicken parm was some of the best I have had, and I have had a lot. What made it great was how they perfectly flattened it, which gave it a very crispy texture. The vodka sauce itself was creay and done right. Finished with dessert tartufo, pretty standard. It is also byob. Would definitely return! Overall, I give The Risotto House a 4.4 out of 5."

"The Risotto House on Park Ave, Rutherford, continues to show a high degree of hospitality as well as preparing delicious food! We have dined here for years and have found the consistency of their service and cuisine to be memorable. Each dish is prepared to order. Several Apps, although not on the menu, will still be prepared much to our liking! The ambience is refined, muted, with customer service being their priority. Risotto House will continue to be our Go-To Italian restaurant and remains highly recommend."
