The Process
The Asiago-Montasio form with a hollow in the middle is released from the kitchen where the cheese is then grated out by the service staff.
The hot saffron risotto comes out of the kitchen in a pan and is ladled into the hollow where the cheese slowly begins to melt. It is peppered a little and then flambéed with the Grappa Americano, which gives it a certain sweetness.
The risotto should go with the wave, “Con l’Onda” means it should always be creamy.
Then the king prawns are added and again some pepper is added.
If someone does not like shrimp, you can get risotto with fillet strips or the vegetarian version with vegetables.

Bestseller at Osteria Ticino since 2014
Thus, the Risotto Flambé was born in March 2014 and has always been listed as a fixed bestseller in the Osteria menu. Since 2021 it is also served in the restaurant of the Albergo Carcani and 2022 in their fish restaurant Osteria Boato in Brissago. The Osteria alone sells an average of about 3500- 4200 servings per year.
As a small GAG, they have a bet going on with the kitchen crew in each restaurant that starts over every month. If the kitchen team creates another dish that is sold more times in a month than the Risotto Flambé, Ketty & Tommy invites them all to a 3rd star restaurant. But since 2014, the bet always goes to Ketty & Tommy.
Variations of the Flambé have also been created, but guests always prefer the original.
