Here, I'll start..
ITEM: Seafood Risotto
TYPE: Italian
PRICE: $20
RESTAURANT: Giuseppe's Italian Market
LOCATION: http://g.co/maps/mp4gb
COMMENTS: From a place more known for their pizza, you would have never imagine their real signature dish is actually their risotto. Creamy and rich sums it all up. No idea what they used as broth but every grain of rice is bursting with rich creamy goodness. Top it off with a generous dose fresh clams and mussels on top… It’s like watching the Canucks lose game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, in your mouth.
