Risotteria Melotti

Located in the heart of Manhattan's trendy East Village, Risotteria Melotti NYC is a charming, intimate restaurant that brings the authentic flavors of Verona, Italy, to New York City. As the first international outpost of the renowned Melotti family—who have been producing high-quality rice in Italy since 2002—the restaurant serves as a dedicated haven for those seeking traditional Italian rice-based cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic, featuring decor inspired by Italian farm life, making it a popular spot for a relaxed date or a quiet meal.

The menu is entirely gluten-free, celebrating the versatility of rice through a wide array of dishes, including creamy risottos, rice-flour crepes, and traditional desserts like tiramisu.

In addition to their dine-in service, the restaurant features a small shop where patrons can purchase authentic Melotti rice products and specialties to enjoy at home.
