Risotteria Melotti NYC
8.4
A certified 100% gluten-free Italian risotteria focused on Northern Italian rice traditions, operating in the East Village since 2013. The menu leans into creamy, well-seasoned risotti, rice-flour fritti, and comforting desserts that feel classic rather than compromised. It’s one of the most reliable celiac-safe full-service meals in the neighborhood.
