Find the real Italian atmosphere in a cozy restaurant, where to eat only rice based Specialties and Risotto!
A unique gluten free experience, 100% made in Italy.
The first Risotteria Melotti was opened in Isola della Scala, in the region of VERONA, in 2002. The idea of opening a Risotteria in New York came in order to make this typical and traditional italian dish known and cooked by us, with the rice we produce and with the typical old style techniques used in Isola della Scala.

    Felt rushed by staff even tho the dining room was mostly empty- risotto was undercooked …. I’m sure it would have been resolved had we said something- we didn’t but the dessert was AMAZING!

    A dedicated gluten free family-owned eatery with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I’m also dairy free & there were many choices. We ate Fritto Misto (crispy/light fried calamari, shrimps and zucchini battered in rice flour with spicy tomato sauce), salad, and two kinds of risotto: wild mushrooms and with duck breast ragu. The food was beautifully flavorful. A video of their process, from growing and harvesting special rice in Italy to cooking methods, was interesting. There are branches in Rome, Venice, Florence and Verona.

    Wonderfully cozy Italian spot with fantastic gluten free options. The staff is super accommodating and kind, and the food is comforting. We shared the avocado cucumber salad, and had the pesto risotto (vegan) and salmon for entrees. Delicious and would recommend

    Love this restaurant!! My daughter with celiac is comfortable eating anything here! And now that my husband has gone with me, he's a fan too! I had the pesto risotto and my husband had the lobster special. We both loved our choices! He also had the chocolate cake and loved it! The lovely lady who, I believe owns the restaurant, suggested the perfect wine as well! Perfect night!

    I grew up on risotto, thanks to my Tuscan mother, and it was a delight to have a choice of so many different kinds. Really nice.

    So so so good! A serious gem of a restaurant, especially for those who cannot eat gluten. The service was outstanding as was the food.

    We completely enjoyed our dining experience here--our server was attentive and knowledgeable; the food was exquisite and we appreciated the kitchen's willingness to modify for us as needed. It's a wonderful feeling to know that we can manage our dietary needs (celiac) without sacrificing taste or quality. I highly recommend!
