The wife loves it, so I'm trying to find some places that serves it for a date night. TIA

I'd start at Domenica or a Mano. Check their current menu(s). Also I recently had a veal sweetbreads w/ risotto and wild mushroom app at Iris that was killer.

Domenica and a Mano are good suggestions.
I had an amazing risotto at Le Foret.

O'Briens Grille in Gretna is a really good restaurant, perfect for a date night, and has one of the best risottos I've ever had

Creamy risotto made with all the lagniappe from a New Orleans backyard “Crawfish Boil” (crawfish, potatoes, corn, onions, andouille sausage & garlic) 10

O'Brien's is probably the best on the Wank and the Crawfish Boil Risotto is very good. Best I've ever had...no, but its really good.

I like GW Fins lobster risotto

La Petite has always had a good risotto. But it has often skewed into the vegetarian entree world.

There scallops are served with a mushroom risotto that is awesome.

O'Brien's on the westbank is very good. One of my favorite places in all of the metro area.

Had a delicious risotto with peas at August once. So good!

Recently went to Clancy's and had the lobster risotta - rich but delicious and a good portion.

Domenica. The white truffle risotto is out of this world. Not on the current menu but they will still make it, all you have to do is ask.

Le Foret does do a good risotto. And I thinks it's one of the most overrated dishes out there

No way would I ever use leftover boil water as a stock for making risotto. It would be exceedingly salty and unpleasant. The Times-Pic ran a recipe for Frank Brigtsen's crawfish boil soup--he makes a stock from smashed-up leftover boiled crawfish. LINK Seems like a more flavorful approach.

I could try to get it. My neighbor is the chef at Obrien's. Not sure if he would give it up though.

Maybe it's just corn, red potatoes, and crab boil? Or hell it could just be adding crab boil.

The best one I've ever had was one that Stella! served a few years ago (no idea if they still do). But I don't think it's worth the trouble to specifically have dinner there just for that.
Strangely enough, The Flaming Torch has a very good one with rabbit.

I'd probably make a stock out of crawfish shells, boil the fixings separately in a light boil mix, then make the risotto with the stock and add the cooked fixins at the end. Agree it would have to be pretty lightly seasoned otherwise it would be a waste. I've made what I guess you could call "shrimp risotto" like this, that's where my thought process came from. As I'm sure you know, the mild/sweet shrimp flavor goes in easy with risotto and lets both elements shine if done correctly.
