Risotto alla Tradizione Romana con Guanciale di Maiale Nero

Ciccio meets Rome. Rome wasn't ready.

A risotto that doesn't exist in Roman tradition but which Ciccio decided to add to the menu "to fill a cultural gap." 18-month-aged Carnaroli, finished with Sicilian black pig guanciale and aged Pecorino Romano. A north-south fusion that Roman critics described as "irritating but inevitable." Ciccio had this review framed too.

"Every time I prepare it, I cry a little. It's a form of quality control."

— Francesco D'Amplo
