Vanilla Risotto... or Rice Pudding?

The other night a group of us decided to head to a slightly fancy restaurant here in Athens called Agora (it means market in Greek).  The meal was fantastic, and if you ever get the chance to try honey and cereal crusted goats cheese I highly recommend it.  Being the sweet treat fanatic that I am, I couldn't resist a desert, and when I saw "Vanilla Risotto" on the menu my mind was set.  The dish came and we all dug in, it was tasty, but in my head all I could really see and taste was basic rice pudding.  Sure it had some chocolate sauce and cookies crumbled on top, and it was nice and warm, but I'm not sure why you would call it "vanilla risotto".
