Risotteria Melotti NYC

"This fully gluten free place has amazing food with a focus on rice. Most of the dishes are rice based such as risotto and pasta. There are also some alternatives such as a burger, steak and salads for those that would like something else."

"I love that Risotteria Melotti is a quaint family operated restaurant in Manhattan. They made Christmas Eve a simple, but special affair. The restaurant was cozy, nicely decorated for the holidays and everyone was in a holidays spirit. Thanks for the lovely experience!"

"What a great find! The place is intimate and very charming. The food is delicious and they have so many vegan and dairy free options. Fantastic place to take the entire family since they can accommodate most people’s diets."

"It was a lovely Sunday summer evening to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather! The service here was excellent, enjoyable conversation, history of the owners and menu highlights. We ordered a starter salad and risotto and we’re so excited it was fully gluten free! What a treat! The salad came and had pink edges on the lettuce and 3 found pieces of Parmesan with mold I picked out. Not wanting to be rude and completely send it back I mentioned it to the waiter when he can by and told me he’d let the kitchen know. I wish he would have brought a new one or comped it. It shouldnt have been served. Not to get too distracted on a small pesky salad, the main was a lemon and shrimp risotto and it was fabulous! Wonderful flavor and texture. To top it off with a gluten free espresso cheesecake was delightful. I would come back here again because of the nice service and great main and dessert, I would just not order the salad."

"Delightful atmosphere, incredible warm and thoughtful service, and the menu and the food is absolutely divine. Amazing vegetarian and vegan options. And if you have a gluten free friend or family member, this is the spot. Also you can make reservations on open table for convenience. We had a lovely experience here this last Sunday at 2pm. Can’t recommend it highly enough and thank you to our wonderful server. Also great outdoor seating too."
