Hadn't heard about it, but let me be the first to say OH GOODY. Another Italian restaurant in the area. SNORE... :hmmm:

"Wow--this is a fancy restaurant! They keep bringing us more water and we didn't even ask for it!" --My 5.75 year-old niece, about Bread Bar

What makes you think the place is Italian?

The last "Italian" place to close in Rutherford was owned & run by Japanese folks. I wouldn't be surprised if this is their new venture.

but did they own and run an italian place?

given the average person's mindset, naming a place "risotto house" will most likely conjure up imagines of an italian-type place, with lots of risotto. does anyone have a website for this place?

When I first heard that Chakra was opening in Paramus I thought it was an Indian restaurant.

i would have been even more convinced it was an indian place it they named it "Curry House". :wink:

Wow, jaded and cynical :wacko: . Has Italian in NJ made you so? :biggrin: I know, I know, me too! I don't know anything about this place...if it is owned by asians, italians, mexicans....I don't know. Yes, BYO I would assume because Rutherford is a dry town. I would bet that my Rissoto is better than theirs!!

Yes, they did. It was called - I think - Pasta Pronto. It had "Pasta" in the name, I never did more than glance at it. I just got the vibe that the Pasta would be about as special as the Risotto House's risotto.

They lasted a few months on the upper stretch of Park Ave there earlier this year.
