Stellarossa, Toowong

On Tuesday I found myself in Toowong and wanting a light meal.  I wasn't extremely hungry and I thought some sort of rice dish would sate my desire.  I wandered around for a while and found that Stellarossa (an organisation with which I was not familiar) served risotto at what, in my opinion was a competitive price.  I don't think I've ever had risotto from a restaurant or cafe before, but it is a dish that I have prepared and enjoyed a number of times myself.  I ordered the mushroom and prosciutto risotto and was soon impressed.  It is my understanding that risotto is a difficult dish to master, and I believe that Stellarossa did a great job.  The rice was not soggy or gluggy and had really absorbed all of the flavours of the dish.  When I make risotto, the mushroom is just a filler ingredient.  But in Stellarossa's interpretation of the dish, the mushroom flavour really asserts itself.  The prosciutto was of incredibly high quality.  I can't recall a time I have encountered prosciutto this good.  The risotto was topped with Parmesan cheese, whereas when I make risotto, the Parmesan cheese is mixed in with the other ingredients.  I suppose that this is a case of six at one and half a dozen at the other, but it meant that by the time that I got to the last few mouthfuls, I had exhausted my supply of Parmesan, and missed its presence in the last few bites.  Had I been charged more for this dish, I would have felt that the portion was too small, but for its price, I think it was right on the money.  Given that this was my first restaurant risotto experience, I am curious to see if Stellarossa are masters of the dish, or if risotto can be enjoyed to this degree anywhere that serves it.  I guess I'll have to find out.
