Risotteria Melotti - New York

Management and wait staff are excellent attentive, helpful, and pleasant. The food is so excellent that we drive 3 hours to spend a day in NYC and have dinner there. I am celiac and this is the safest restaurant I've ever been to. We will continue to visit as often as we can.

Wonderful spot that is safe for those with celiac. Terrific food and nice wine selection. All of the staff are professional, welcoming and make you feel like you are coming home for a meal with family.

I have celiac and dragged my fiancé and friend here seeing it was fully gluten free.We have now been 2 times within 5 days. It is so good- gluten free or not. The wait staff is so so lovely and the owner is as well. Gluten free or not this place is incredibly tasty and is going to become a frequent eatery for me.

Our server was a delight. I am celiac and she verified they really are entirely gluten free. Some of the best risotto I've ever had. My husband who is not celiac thoroughly enjoyed the food too even the bread was amazing!

For gluten-intolerant me, it’s fantastic to have a great restaurant to go to that the rest of the family (not gluten intolerant can also enjoy. I was delighted to get to share the fried calamari and various pastry desserts (profiteroles!!! that are normally a no-no for me. I recommend the shrimp lemon risotto and the pork risotto…both wonderful!! It was lovely to sit outdoors, and overall the food and experience was delightful. Our waiter was amazing, friendly and attentive, and offered great suggestions (as we tend to inquire! . However, for some inexplicable reason, the middle-aged female owner or manager was extremely rude to us upon arrival, as my son and girlfriend were running a few minutes late (hitting unexpected traffic from across town , and when they arrived and joined us about 5 minutes late, I could see her looking at them, sneering and gesturing “something.” It felt awkward, but seemed, when she came to the table next to us to ask how everything was, but turned away to deliberately snub us, she was passive-aggressively signaling some form of disapproval! Not sure why…we enjoyed our waiter and experience with him. My next trip may or may not include another visit here, as there are other fantastic gluten free options in town.
