The Story Behind Truffle Risotto
Risotto has its origins in northern Italy, particularly in the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, and Veneto, dating back to the 16th century. The dish gained prominence when rice cultivation expanded in the Po Valley, creating the perfect environment for growing short-grain rice varieties.
At The Wild Artichoke, our Truffle Risotto represents Chef Marcel's journey through the culinary landscapes of both France and Italy. Inspired by his training in Milan and his work in Provence, this signature dish combines the rustic comfort of Italian cuisine with the refined techniques of French gastronomy.
The addition of truffles—a delicacy prized in both French and Italian cooking—elevates this humble rice dish to a gourmet experience that has become our most requested menu item since we opened our doors in 2018.
