Ristorante Scotti Bistrò

The humble grain of rice is elevated to an art form at Scotti Bistrò in Giussano, where the 'Giro Risotti' offers a kaleidoscopic exploration of Lombardy’s most iconic dish. Each preparation begins with a rigorous mantecatura, a technique that coaxes a luxurious creaminess from the starch while preserving the firm, al dente heart of the grain. The Risotto alla Milanese is a standout, its golden hue derived from high-grade saffron and its richness amplified by a tender, slow-braised osso buco. For a more avant-garde profile, the kitchen pairs Franciacorta bubbles with 24-month Reggiano, creating a bright, acidic lift that cuts through the dairy. The aroma of toasted rice and simmering broth permeates the dining room, inviting guests into a sensory experience of Brianza’s terroir. Beyond the pan, the raw bar offers a contrasting freshness, featuring tuna tartare seasoned with Taggiasca olives, providing a silky, clean counterpoint to the warm depths of the risotto.
