I've only got one full day in Milan, and during my wanderings around the city, I've come upon the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, home to a massive dome and plenty of fashionable brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada and Versace. I'm aware that the restaurants in this location are likely to be very touristy and perhaps not authentic, but I'm hungry and this one's got a 4.3 star rating on Google, so I give it a go. They're more touted for their pizzas and pastries, but I'm here for some risotto - or, as the Katering Show calls it, hot wet rice.
Primo Piatto
Risotto alla Milanese
I've gone for the Milanese specialty dish, risotto alla milanese, or saffron risotto. When it comes out, there is definitely that brilliant golden colour of saffron and I dig in. It's warm and cheesy, very rich and filling for the portion size. The risotto is harder than what I would cook at home, but I don't actually know what authentic consistency should be. It's actually quite nice with a bit of texture instead of it being soft. The bread by the side cleans up any residue sauce on the plate. Good times. I'm off to find some gelato.
