Melograno was established in 2003 by Chef Gianluca Demontis & Rosemarie Tran. The couple met in Rome when Rose was studying abroad. When Luca relocated to Philadelphia they wanted to represent his roots. Located in the beautiful Rittenhouse Square, surrounded by shops and entertainment. Melograno is a warm haven for good food and comforting service. A place to enjoy with friends and family. We are a BYOB so bring the spirits of your choice, we are happy to serve you.

    We have eaten at Melograno many many times and we’re so happy to be there again. The wait staff couldn’t have been nicer or more efficient and every bite of our meals was delicious!  My dining partners loved the octopus. I had salmon which was awesome and we shared three pastas. What an indulgent meal!  Can’t wait until our next visit.

    Great place for a group of friends. There were six of us and the appetizers are generous portions so we ordered 3 salads to share, then we each had an entree. The flavours and presentation are great. The specials are always delicious. We always have tasty meals and great service when we dine at Melograno.

    Great BYOB. Most pasta dishes were hearty but the cacio e pepe was a little skimp. Perfect place to crack a nicer bottle you’ve been saving w/o having to cook.

    What truly sets Melograno's apart is how they've maintained their high standards over the years while thoughtfully evolving their menu. It's a rare feat for a restaurant to remain relevant and busy for so long, yet they make it look effortless. Whether you're a longtime regular or first-time visitor, you'll understand immediately why this is a Philly gem.
