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.

    Loved it as always, did feel like it was extra crowded this weekend because of Valentines day, our table was right next to another couple, but it hasn't felt that way in the past.

    My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Risotteria Melotti. We chose the restaurant based on our long personal history with "Risotteria" the restaurant located in the Village (now closed). Melotti checked all the boxes. It was amazing. My wife has Celiac, and is very sensitive to cross contamination, so Melotti is perfect. It should be listed on more Gluten Free sites. The food was amazing. The restaurant is tiny and awesome. My wife took photos of the drawers on the walls that are used as picture frames & shelves. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. And if you are a Celiac, eat here as often as you can.

    It's really about the risotto (though my partner enjoyed her burger!) And it's small and noisy but fun.

    Food and service is great. Was surprised to see that they had a burger and fries and tried that this time and it was excellent. Menu is entirely Gluten Free, as well.
