About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
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!

    A warm welcome awaits you at Il Melograno. The food is prepared to order and presented hot off the press as well as to your liking; in addition --and to be underscored --it is quite simply delicious. An intimate and relaxed ambiance of welcome home. Why go elsewhere?

    Outstanding authentic Italian restaurant in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. Family recipes of traditional Italian appetizers, salads and entrees. Nothing disappointing. Every course flavorful and precise in regard to serving size and presentation. Friendly service and charming ambience. The mood is set for romance and/or friends. Wines and desserts fine too!

    We just moved into the neighborhood and were looking for a place to grab a casual dinner after a long day and found this little gem close by. The service was attentive and the food was so fresh and well prepared. We enjoyed risotto, battuta chicken and sausage pasta. YUM.

    Quiet spot with wonderful food & service. We went here before going to the theatre (10% early bird discount before 6:30) Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Attentive service and delicious food. We had the mushroom risotto and pappardelle as well as the beet salad Everything was delicious. We had mentioned that it was our anniversary and we were surprised with complimentary glasses of champagne. Very nice evening out.

    Fantastic dinner. Service was top notch. Made reservations. Small restaurant with welcoming and attentive staff. We loved everything we ordered. The insalata siciliana and burrata were fresh and delicious. Pasta was house made and cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely return when we visit New York again.
