    Absolutely delicious, creamy and satisfying! It's amazing that risottos come out so thick and creamy without the addition of actual cream. The tangy flavor of the goat cheese goes so well with the subtle pumpkin.

    Outstanding recipe for risotto! I followed the recipe as is except for two things: I used 6 cups of stock instead of 4, and I used only 4 ounces of goat cheese rather than 6. The depth and complexity of flavors was amazing--bacon, parmesan, pumpkin, chevre. My family loved it--and wants me to make it again soon!

    Darn risotto! It looks so easy when you see someone else making it, but when it was time to do it ourselves we freaked out (a little bit. It just seemed to take forever to start looking and smelling like something we wanted to eat. Then a miracle occured! It suddenly started looking and smelling like a delicious wonderful risotto. The flavor was a little bland until we added the goat cheese and transformed into an elegant side dish for our Thanksgiving dinner. We will most definitely be making this dish again.

    OMG! This is so good! I am no "chef" but following G's directions exactly led to an excellent dish. This is a keeper.

    The reviews don't do this risotto justice. It was a sublime experience to dine on this meal. Don't skip a step - Giada knows what she's doing!

    Simple and fabulous! Using the goat cheese, bacon, and parsley as toppings is pure genius. Can't wait to make it again.

    If I could give 6 stars I would. We've made this 4 times. The bite of the wine, the stringy parmesan, the warm nutmeg and pumpkin. And I normally don't like pumpkin. Wonderful for a thanks giving dinner!

    Great flavor. This was comfort food to me. I would probably double the amount of bacon for 6 people, but maybe wouldn't use 6 ounces of the goat cheese. I'm sure both of those changes would vary with the size of the bacon strips and the flavor of the cheese. I used Trader Joe's for both. The smokiness of the applewood bacon was phenomenal with the earthiness of the pumpkin. This was great with an oaky chardonnay (also used in the dish. Loved it!

    I made this for a New Year's Eve meal and it was brilliant. I used homemade chicken stock and I think that made it even better. The flavour was wonderful and even the pickier eaters at the party enjoyed it.
