The story

About the dish

Davanti slowly cooks Carnaroli rice with cuttlefish ink, giving the risotto its dramatic black color and saline depth. Shrimp contributes delicate sweetness and a tender finish.

Italia.it describes Veneto’s table as a meeting of lagoon, plain, and mountain traditions, with rice and seafood among the region’s recurring ingredients. That regional frame helps explain why nero di seppia and risotto meet so naturally in a Venetian-style dish.
