The Sansglu take
The place
The Melotti family has grown Vialone Nano and Carnaroli rice at Isola della Scala since 1986, and this Navigli dining room near Porta Genova is their Milan outpost, sibling to the Rome and New York risotterias. It is a proper sit-down restaurant built around what the farm grows.
The gluten-free setup
The kitchen is 100% gluten-free, stated plainly by the restaurant itself, and current community listings report it as a dedicated facility. Rice stands in for wheat everywhere: the fried dough is rice flour, the desserts skip wheat entirely, and celiac diners report ordering across the whole menu without issues.
What to order
The menu lists around fifteen risotti; the Isolana, with pork, veal, cinnamon and rosemary, is the farm's home-town dish. Start with the rice-flour gnocco fritto with Veronese sopressa.
The move
Service runs continuously Friday through Sunday from 11 to 22:30, so a late-afternoon table is easy on weekends; weekdays it closes between lunch and dinner. The restaurant takes summer holidays in early August and reopens August 18, so call ahead in late summer.
