17/04/2025: I TRIED THE BEST RISOTTI I HAVE EVER TASTED! • Our culinary journey through the taverns and trattorias of Lombardy continues! This time we are in Lodi at the Trattoria Torretta where we ate some delicious risottos! A trattoria founded in 1997 which features rustic and simple furnishings such as the classic red checkered tablecloths so to speak. But let's stop talking and let's start immediately with two typical appetizers: 🥓 Truffled Mortadella and Culatello 🏠 Rustic home-made appetizer with Coppa, local cacciatorino, Lodi lard, sweet and sour red onions, Lodi-style Nervetti, Raspadura 🥠 The two appetizers were accompanied by the Fried Gnocco • Excellent selection of high quality cured meats accompanied by nerves and sweet and sour onion and fried gnocco! A truly excellent appetizer that is very close to the Emilian tradition and cannot be compared in the slightest to the Milanese proposals. Yummy! • But let's move on to the main courses, the real reason why we came to eat at Trattoria Torretta, the risottos! 🟣 Risotto with blueberries and porcini mushrooms 🍐 Pannerone and pear risotto • We conclude with the homemade desserts: 🍫 Chocolate Cake 🍎 Apple Pie 🍥 Strachin Gelad I was amazed by the deliciousness of the risotto with blueberries and porcini mushrooms! So good I can still taste it on my palate! The pannerone and pear risotto was also very good but the pears were barely noticeable because they were small slices on the rice which instead tasted a lot like pannerone cheese. I would have expected pears melted and melted into the rice. But in any case very good. I can't wait to return to Lodi to try all the other risottos on the menu!

09/04/2025: Excellent trattoria where flavors are at home. The rustic appetizer dish followed by an excellent risotto is fantastic. Depending on the season there are various risottos. You can exaggerate with second courses that are inspired by tradition. The dessert deserves attention
