Risotto is a deceptive dish. Easy to make you imagine – until you try yourself and discover the arm-tiring stirring involved. Now that the weather’s getting colder, risotto is one of the dishes that heads back onto any sane person’s menu. But where are the best places to try one of these warming, hearty dishes in London?
