Il Melograno brings the best of Italy to Hells Kitchen where original receipts, hand crafted pastas and friendly hospitality come together to create a casual and unique dining experience.
All the way from Sicily, Lino and Gregory moved to New York City bringing the best of the Southern Italian culinary tradition. Fourteen years after opening a Sicilian restaurant and concept store in Noto (Sicily), the idea of honouring the Grandmas traditions is what creates the philosophy of their hospitality at Il Melograno. Buon appetito!

    Cozy space with excellent service and delicious homemade pasta! We had a perfect cozy table in the back, and our server was accommodating and attentive. Our homemade pasta dish and salad were both exceeded expectations and were delicious! Nice wine selection as well. Highly recommend!

    Salad and bruchetta were great. Pastas were ok. A bit over-sauced.

    Il Melograno is always a great place to go before plays or other events on that side of midtown. The food is delicious, as is the wine, and the service is exemplary. Totally recommend this place.

    This is truly one of my favorite places in all of New York. The service, food, and atmosphere exceed all expectations and most importantly, it is my mother’s favorite place to go to so the amount of wins here is enormous. It’s truly a special place.

    Lovely little neighborhood Italian local. Not a ton of “comfort” dishes but a nice variety. Chicken Milanese being the exception, very good. But not a red sauce joint. Bruschetta was well proportioned, house pino Grigio very cold and delicious. Sausage and peas Risotto special was under-seasoned for our taste and unremarkable to look at, but salt pepper and lemon brought it to life. Worth the trip to 10th Ave if you’re looking for something less trashy and more homey than what’s on 9th Ave.
