    Wonderful service, very nice Italian food and generous portions. The special Caesar salad was amazing with hazelnuts and shaved Brussels sprouts. I had the ricotta beet tortellli and my husband had the salmon, they were both delicious. This restaurant is a great place to meet with family and friends to actually chat. No loud music, just conversation in the restaurant which was festive but not loud. I highly recommend and I would love to return. It is BYOB.

    As always the food and service was great and friendly. We each had the special salad with beets, nuts and lots of vegetables, and wew each had pasta dishes which are different and worth trying. We will continue to be regulars at this neighborhood hot spot. Great place !

    Great food; fantastic value. Lots of crab in their pasta dish. Service a little slow but it was during busy weekend night. Will come back.

    Thank for an excellent evening. My mother appreciated the special care we received. Some restaurants are less accommodating of her walker.

    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.
