This recipe is from Trattoria by Patricia Wells circa 1993. Patricia claims it was inspired by a restaurant in Milan called Casa Fontana. I loved this risotto so much that in 1997, I was in Milan and had a taxi driver bring me to Casa Fontana just so I could try their version. Sadly, it was not nearly as fabulous as Patricia's rendition. This recipe is so special because the herbs hit the lemon and create the most dynamic taste that goes way beyond a typical lemon, butter and cheese combo. Enjoy and don't forget to have all ingredients mise in place and constantly stir.
