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.

    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.

    Outstanding restaurant, not only the best food, but also the ambience and the service. All together make the difference. Every time I visited Melotti, I have a great time. Good selection of appetizers, and then you can choose a ample variety of risotto. I had different ones, always fantastic. And of course, the desserts are also great. I you add the great food with the ambience and the staff, you get a great experience. Highly recommended, you will never be dissaponted!

    DELICIOUS and fantastic service. This is the coziest restaurant in the east village. The food is amazing and the vibes are 10/10. This is a place that you want to selfishly gatekeep but also need everyone to experience.

    Food tasted very good, very nice to have a restaurant with gluten&dairy free options. Service however was rushed, and we were charged 45USD for one day special risotto which was way more expensive than the other risotto options and communicated orally without the price. Although it tasted good this was kind of a surprise and not good value for money. Therefore not 5 stars.

    Very enjoyable dinner out with friends while dining at Riso Melotti. The saffron and wild boar risotto was the best. All dishes were very good. We decided to include the special with pumpkin (during the fall harvest season) to share so we had 4 plates for 3 people. I’m sure the desserts would also be very delicious, having seen some other tables with them, but we were full from our delicious meal. We would all return again in the future for our fill of Melotti risotto made with organic rice from Italy.

    Great for accommodating various dietary needs. I was able to eat vegan no problem while my mom and friend ate regularly. Didn’t love the vegan dessert option but I’d go back again and try the sorbetto instead.
