Customer Reviews
Service was superb, waitress and host were super nice and friendly. Went over the menu with us and did a great job with serving the food. Loved their pasta and tiramisu. Great place to visit!
Most of the dishes were great, but my cacio pepe was only so so. More bread would have been good as well.
Melograno was a very pleasant and enjoyable Italian BYOB that I can best summarize as "nothing wrong with it but not impressive enough to return". While I liked the rustic Roman-inspired interior and the friendly staff, most of the food was simply fine and not especially remarkable. For a starter we ordered the gnocchi croquettes that embodied my feelings mentioned above; they were fluffy and pleasant but didn't leave too much of an impression, and they did feel a bit pricey for how small they were. The highlight of all the food was my pasta dish the "granchio", with crab, cherry tomatoes, bread crumbs, and a lemon cream sauce. It's probably the one thing we had that I would go out of my way to recommend as the flavors and textures were great, even if the cream sauce was a little thick bo
The food was incredible and fresh. We had an early reservation and the food came out so quick. Service was impeccable and everything is made in house. The cacio e pepe and tiramisu were my personal favorites. Cozy vibe with candles and romantic lighting. Will definitely be back!
We visited on a early Saturday night during the long weekend and had a wonderful experience. The staff here are incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. The mushroom pasta was bursting with flavor and had an amazing aroma. We also loved the unique appetizer, which was a delightful surprise and set the tone for a fantastic meal.
