Test Your Taste Buds With Black Risotto

If you’re a fan of seafood, one of the must-do things in Croatia is to try black risotto. Known locally as crni rižot, this dish is made with squid or cuttlefish, garlic, olive oil, red wine, risotto rice, and squid ink. The unique final ingredient gives the dish its iconic color, as well as an intense and addictive seafood flavor. You’ll find this dish in almost every restaurant along Croatia’s coastline. If you order it, it will temporarily turn your mouth and teeth black – but it’s worth it for the chance to try something so special and delicious!

Dalmatino Dubrovnik serves some of the very best black risotto you should visit. The restaurant specializes in traditional fish and seafood dishes with a modern twist. It’s served with cuttlefish and has the most amazing texture and flavor combo. If you’re not too sure about the squid ink, the restaurant also serves a white risotto with shrimp, zucchini, and white wine.
