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!

    The food is as good as it gets. It felt like eating in a small restaurant in Italy with the owner of the restaurant making certain everything was perfect for each person in your group. What a treat. We highly recommend this place.

    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.
