What People Are Saying About Risotteria

In Short
Though it's more of a takeout and delivery operation than a sit-down restaurant, Risotteria does offer eight small tables for those who want to savor their risotto hot off the stove. Risottos are classified here based on the variety of rice, from the highly-starched arborio to the creamy carnaroli. Slabs of prosciutto, Italian sausage, pork shoulder and other meats, all of which can be added to the rice, wait behind the counter. Panini and salads are also available.

I was so excited about going there because I am a BIG FAN of risotto... well, food was good. I loved their bread stick and quality of dish. I was absolutely disappointed about their service. Our table was almost completely ignored unless we try to yell or keep raising arms up for attention. We often felt one of the waiter was grumpy at us for nothing and rushed us out for no line waiting tables.

As the other reviewers have mentioned, the restaurant is very small and tightly packed and the wait was long (45 minutes). However, once we were seated the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We ordered the risotto with shrimp and the thick crust pizza. The risotto was absolutely yummy but the pizza was just okay. Next time I go back, I'll stick to the risotto. My bf ordered the gluten-free beer and loved it! He had the biggest grin while drinking the beer. The brownies were so good! We'll definitely come back to this place again.

We made a special pilgrimage to Risotteria when we visited NYC just so my husband could have a safe, relaxing, and oh so tasty gluten-free meal. Awesome breadsticks (we bought another batch to take home), cupcakes and risottos of every description. Mighty tasty!
