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.

    The food is absolutely fantastic! Being a full gluten free menu is so helpful for those intolerant or having celiac disease, making us feel included but additionally having plenty of options on the menu. The flavors of each item we ordered was delicious. I will be returning back frequently!

    I am gluten free and dairy free and they accommodated me so well, my mom is not and still said it was the best. Will be back on every future trip!

    Excellent risotto! Probably the best I’ve had in a long time. Gluten free menu was great, loved the crepe for dessert. The restaurant is very small, tables are very close together so it is very cramped. They are very quick with service which is nice but also feels like they are trying to turn tables over quickly. It’s understandable, so just know it’s not the place to go and have a long chat with someone to catch up. But if you want a delicious meal, then highly recommend!

    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.
