My husband and I went to Risotto House on 4/28/12. We are courteous, well dressed, professionals and treat everyone with respect. After being seated at restaurant, after maybe three minutes, the waitress asked if we were ready to order.

This place has to be worst restaurant in the world. Saying horrible service is a compliment - this was sucked. I would absolutely never go back and neither should you. I would rather starve if this was the last restaurant on earth. More

When we first moved to Rutherford, this was our favorite place. We loved the lamb shank risotto and the seafood risotto. After frequenting this little place, that is usually packed, we found the quality was inconsistent.

Risotto House in Rutherford NJ is a wonderful dining experience. It's a small restaurant, but with wonderful food. The menu is Italian. Wait staff is attentive; the food is excellent; and the prices are $$. Don't miss this one - it's a "must". More
