One of our favorite restaurants in NYC.  Located on Bleecker Street in the quirky community of West Village.  Risotteria is quaint with great service and, most importantly, great gluten free food.  It starts the moment you sit down and are served crispy gluten free bread sticks.  The excitement continues through the main course offering pizza, risotto, Panini sandwiches and straight into the GF dessert options.  Menu is clearly marked and the wait staff offers outstanding service.  Risotteria is small and very popular so go for a late lunch or early dinner.
