The Sansglu take
The place
Risotteria Melotti is the Melotti family's East Village restaurant, open in New York since 2013. The kitchen centers northern Italian risotto and other rice-based dishes using the family's rice-growing tradition from Verona.
The gluten-free setup
The restaurant describes its cooking and rice-based menu as 100% gluten-free. The official pages Sansglu reviewed do not publish certification, separate-fryer, separate-kitchen, or staff-training protocols, so those operational details remain unconfirmed.
What to order
The current menu lists rice bruschetta, arancini, rice-flour fritto misto, risotto all'Isolana, wild-mushroom and Amarone risottos, rice pasta on request, tiramisu, profiteroles, and gluten-free cannoli.
The move
Weekdays begin at dinner, while weekend service starts at lunch. Reserve ahead for a busy evening and check the official contact page before visiting because service hours can change.
