Risotteria Melotti
Celiac Safety Score
Risotteria Melotti is a rare haven for celiacs—every dish in this cozy East Village spot is 100% gluten free, so you can finally order without that anxious back-and-forth. The Melotti family’s rice-growing roots in Italy shine through, with risottos that are creamy and deeply flavorful (don’t skip the duck ragu or the polenta fries). Staff are trained and vigilant—no outside food is allowed, not even for staff, eliminating hidden cross-contact risks. It’s honestly such a relief to relax and savor tiramisu or warm focaccia without second-guessing your safety; this place feels like a big exhale for anyone who’s spent years scanning menus for danger.
