Had an excellent dinner that did not disappoint on any level! Perfect little Italian spot with attentive and quick service. We got the cacio e pepe and the chicken parm special, both absolutely delicious! Just wish we had more room in our stomachs to finish our meals!

We ordered the lasagna was delicious. We arrived when the restaurant was about to close its kitchen. The owner was very nice and the place was very clean.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. The location feels like a 1940s European cafe. Food is fantastic and an incredible value. I was surprised by how affordable their wine list was. I saved the best for last: service. I sat next to a table which had a couple of ladies who had been patrons for years and knew many of the staff. That’s always a good sign. I hope to be a customer like that for Melograno.
