Risotteria Melotti Roma
Fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen: the restaurant's entire concept is rice-based cuisine with no wheat-based ingredients on the premises. The official menu labels all three sections (Antipasti, Risotti, Dolci) '100% SENZA GLUTINE'. AiProfile states 'the exclusive use of rice flour means no wheat-based items are prepared alongside gluten-free ones.' The Melotti family's core business is rice cultivation and processing in Verona since 1986, giving the operation complete farm-to-table ingredient control. Multiple symptomatic celiac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree across several months report zero reactions; FindMeGlutenFree awards the dedicated-GF badge and lists the venue #3 most celiac-friendly in Rome. Atly corroborates '100% Dedicated Gluten-Free, no risk of contamination.' Note: one reviewer flagged a commercially bottled rice beer served at the restaurant whose label bore contradictory GF/wheat-malt claims — this relates to a third-party product, not the kitchen, and is not raised by a second independent source.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
The menu is not clearly adapted for vegan diners. AiProfile explicitly states: 'the risottos typically use butter, cheese, or cream, so it is best to inquire directly about specific dietary requirements.' Some plant-based dishes could theoretically be modified (mushroom risotto, tomato-based seasonal options) but would require kitchen customisation. No vegan section or per-dish vegan codes appear on the menu. Atly's automated inclusion of this venue in a 'Gluten-Free Vegan Havens' list is not supported by direct vegan-accommodation evidence in any source.

Several risotto dishes are clearly vegetarian by listed ingredients: Cacio e Pepe, mixed mushrooms, asparagus with Taleggio fondue, Pesto di Rucola with almonds and cherry tomatoes, and pistachio cream with Stracciatella. Eight FindMeGlutenFree community members tag the venue as offering 'good vegetarian options'. AiProfile notes vegetarian suitability is flagged on TheFork. The printed menu page carries no 'V' per-dish codes, so identification relies on ingredient reading or staff guidance.

Dairy is a default ingredient throughout the menu — risottos regularly feature Grana Padano, Taleggio, Pecorino, Stracciatella, butter, or cream. One dessert is individually labeled 'senza lattosio' (lactose-free, not dairy-free). Ten FindMeGlutenFree community members tag the venue 'Good for dairy-free', and two reviewers independently confirm dairy-free options were available on their visits. One reviewer explicitly advises: 'risottos contain cheese so if you are dairy free make sure to tell the restaurant.' No per-dish dairy-free codes appear on the printed menu; accommodation is available on request with staff guidance.
