RISOTIO PRIMAVERA Short-grained, high-starch Arborio rice is essential when making risotto. The finished dish should be al dente: tender, yet firm to the bite.

Luna Notte's clientele runs the gamut. You'll be as likely to see a table of chic "twentysomethings" nibbling on gourmet pizza as a grandmother hosting a family get-together. The Italian restaurant's strip-malliocation in the historic Alamo Heights area of town makes it an ideal spot for peoplewatching. And even if the crowd is boring, chef Scott Boone and his staff provide you with ample entertainment in the exhibition kitchen. Menus change seasonally, but the perennial favorite is a simple dish of Capellini alla Napoletana-angel hair pasta with tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, and olive oil. The restaurant is open for lunch Monday through Friday and for dinner daily. Reservations are accepted for parties of five or more. 174
