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.

    The food was fantastic! If you didn’t know it was gluten free, you wouldn’t believe it was! The service was friendly, warm, and attentive without being annoying. Dessert was to die for! I love that they aren’t trying to sell subpar gluten free pasta, but naturally gluten free risotto.
