Quick Facts Place of origin, Main ingredients ...

The name is a portmanteau of orzo (the Italian word for barley) and risotto. This should not be confused with orzo, otherwise known as risoni, a type of wheat pasta formed into shapes resembling barley grains.[3]

Outside Italy, the term commonly refers to a risotto-style dish made with orzo (pasta).[4]
