Risotteria Melotti Roma

The restaurant operates a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Its entire concept is rice-based cuisine, and no wheat-based ingredients are present on the premises. The official menu labels all three sections, Antipasti, Risotti, Dolci, as '100% SENZA GLUTINE'. According to the AiProfile, 'the exclusive use of rice flour means no wheat-based items are prepared alongside gluten-free ones.' The Melotti family has been cultivating and processing rice in Verona since 1986, which gives the operation complete farm-to-table control over ingredients. Multiple symptomatic celiac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree, posting over several months, report zero reactions. FindMeGlutenFree awards the dedicated-gluten-free badge and lists the venue as #3 most celiac-friendly restaurant in Rome. Atly corroborates this with the statement '100% Dedicated Gluten-Free, no risk of contamination.' One reviewer flagged a commercially bottled rice beer served at the restaurant whose label bore contradictory gluten-free and wheat-malt claims. This issue relates to a third-party product, not the kitchen, and is not raised by a second independent 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,' which indicates lactose-free rather than dairy-free. Ten FindMeGlutenFree community members tag the venue 'Good for dairy-free.' Two reviewers independently confirm dairy-free options were available on their visits. One reviewer explicitly advises that risottos contain cheese and that diners should tell the restaurant about dairy-free needs. No per-dish dairy-free codes appear on the printed menu. Accommodation is available on request with staff guidance.

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.
