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!

    Although the portions aren't exceptionally large, they are filling and most important - very good. Various reviews have praised the pasta but I thought I would order the salmon - until we arrived at the restaurant. Looking at the menu outside while waiting for my nephew, a passerby saw us and commented as she walked by, "this is the best pasta in the City." I decided to listen to her and she was right - we all order various pasta dishes and each of us had no complaints. Wait staff were all very accommodating and attentive. We arrived on the early side but by the time we left the restaurant was definitely filling up so reservations are important, at least on Saturday nights. This is a good place for the family , a date, or just casual dining out.

    Great place, good food and helpful staff - excellent customer service. Not noisy and not quiet therefore excellent for conversation. I had swordfish ( very nicely cooked) and partner had chicken milanese which he loved. Would recommend.

    This is a neighborhood gem. The owners and waitstaff are professional, friendly efficient. I bring everyone here from family to friends. They all remark how it’s a slice of ‘old New York charm, with fresh, hip menu and food!’ ❤️🍷
