Risotto in Vienna — Four Variations, Freshly Prepared

Risotto is one of those dishes that require patience and good ingredients. At Pasta e Basta in Vienna Währing, we prepare every portion fresh for you. Four different risotto variations are on our menu, from light and vegetarian to the noble truffle risotto. For guests who wish to avoid gluten, risotto is an excellent alternative to our homemade pasta.

Tradition Meets Quality

A good risotto starts with the selection of the right rice and a strong, flavorful broth. The rice retains a slight bite in the core during preparation, while the sauce develops its characteristic creaminess.

The Preparation

We prepare our risotto in the classic way. Finishing with butter and Parmesan at the end ensures the velvety texture that characterizes a real Italian risotto. Try our Risotto ai Porcini with aromatic porcini mushrooms or the Risotto ai Frutti di Mare with fresh seafood.
