Melograno

Went on a Friday night and the place was packed. They were a little late in seating us but we got a nice table for 2 I had pulpo to start and looked great but could have used some more seasoning imo. My wife’s burrata was not creamy enough for her liking. I had the veal shank that was excellent and she had a spicy pasta that was also excellent. We finished with Panna Cotta which was just ok Overall foot but not quite a wow for me.

This definitely is a ‘go-to’ place for some real good Italian food. We’ve been visiting them for the past three years and their food has always been top-notch. Their pasta selection is just wonderful and Tartufate is definitely a must try! Their shareable plates, gnocchi and burrata, are simply delicious. Their dessert options are drool worthy, too. We would most certainly be coming back yet again!

We came to Melograno on a whim for dinner and will definitely be going back, this time hungrier so we can experience more of their authentic Italian food. Atmosphere - we were seated near the window a bit far from the action, which gave us the perfect balance of getting a cozy, personal feeling while also being able to listen to the rest of the crowd (which included some older couples speaking Italian, always a good sign). It never got too loud, just a comfortable noise. The decor is simple, and you can see into the kitchen as you eat. No need to overdress here either, nice but casual should fit right in. Service - our server was great, food came pretty fast a fresh and we were never left wanting. Manager came around to each table to check on everything as well, which is always appreciated. Food - the menu is classic Italian with your apps, pasta entree, main course, and dessert. We only did an app and pastas, which were delicious. Can’t remember if the pasta is homemade, but it was high quality regardless and we both had rich sauces to go along with it. They also had 4 off menu specials, so while the menu might seem small there are further options. Drinks - BYOB Price - on par with what you’d expect in Rittenhouse, think around $10-$12 per app and around $25 per entree. Price felt fair and the quality of the food certainly met expectations. Italian and pasta fans should definitely check it out. Great place to go if you want a low-key night out and don’t feel like getting up charged for your drinks. Good for a date night or a small group.

Friend recommended this Italian restaurant to me. Great experience, Food is delicious, delicious and delicious! Me and my boyfriend kept saying “this is so great” while eating it! My boyfriend is really picky about the food, but he praised about the dishes he had many times. Also service is awesome! Love it!
