The specialised guide on risotto which introduces celebrity chefs and their original recipes and gourmet restaurants, inviting readers on a “voyage of fine cuisine”.

Risotto, a classic Italian dish, has become a symbol of haute cuisine in restaurants throughout the world, evoking the image of Italy's celebrated and refined cooking.

This dish, well known its personality and range of flavours, is the source of inspiration for this useful guide.

Riso Gallo, the market leader in this sector, and other leading lights in Italian and international haute cuisine have come together in the name of “Risotto” to guide gourmets along the path of excellence in rice. To celebrate this initiative, Riso Gallo has published the prestigious guide to the best risottos - the Gallo Guide , now in its VI edition – containing the most important information about the temples of haute cuisine which have been working with Riso Gallo for a long time to select best-quality rices.

The Gallo Guide is not only a “collection of risotto masterpieces” or a tribute to the best restaurants and chefs, it is also an in-depth voyage into the world of rice, a cultural and educational journey into a pure and extraordinary product. The Gallo Guide is a useful and pleasurable instrument, very precious to those people who wish to savour the creativity of the Italian culinary art. The guide helps gourmets trace a true rice journey which starts in the north of Italy, namely in Pavia, the cradle of this noble cereal. The journey then unravels throughout Italy, crossing borders and reaching places that are remote in space but close in terms of gastronomic culture.

This precious book, which has gained in international popularity over the last few editions, comes in two languages (Italian and English) and also contains information on famous foreign restaurants.

The Gallo Guide is available from bookshops in major cities throughout Italy.
