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!

    My daughter and I shared a delicious beet salad and a perfectly prepared pork chop. The bread appetizer with chopped sun-dried tomatoes was amazing too. Service was attentive but not hovering. A lovely meal.

    Authentic southern Italian food. You won’t find easily in NYC. The ravioli di vitelo is soooo good! Their Chardonnay tastes fantastic!

    Lino is consistently a welcoming and lovely presence. Eggplant rolatini, gorgeous pesto pasta, and perfectly prepared red snapper with broccoli mash was a pure delight. We will return to this family owned ristorante!
