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!

    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.

    The food at this restaurant never disappoints. It is not a typical Italian menu which is refreshing. We have been here many times and everything we have ordered has been delicious.

    If you're searching for one of the most delicious and AUTHENTIC Italian restaurants in the city, look no further. Recipes that will remind you of nonna, with beautiful ambiance, great service, and great value. One of the neighborhood gems in Hell's Kitchen.

    Everything was delicious and felt like very high quality ingredients. Meaning I felt good after eating - not sick or overly stuffed. Went after a show.

    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.
