Risotto is one of those dishes that we’ve always believed is best left to the experts to make. And for risotto from a true expert, head to CAFÉ FLEURI (Langham Hotel, 250 Franklin Street, Boston) on February 8, 9, or 10. That’s when “King of Risotto” Luciano Parolari, executive chef at the renowned Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy, comes to town to prepare a four-course Italian tasting menu for lucky diners. The cost is $75, excluding wine, tax, and gratuity; call 617.451.1900 ext. 7125 for reservations and information.
