   We had a superb dinner at Melograno last night. The fish special was well innovative and well prepared as was the bow tie pasta with duck. The very fresh arugula salad was large enough to share among the three of us, and the special appetizer of a fried burrata cheese surrounded by roasted peppers was also very good. Our dessert choices of tiramisu and the mixed berry sorbet was also delicious. The sorbet even had actual berries in it which I thought made it special.

   The byob policy is great. We saved a lot bringing a nice bottle of Cabernet. The service was charming, and the food authentic Italian.

   Another wonderful dinner at Melograno. Adam our waiter was outstanding as was the front of the house. Dinner is consistently very good. The restaurant is a bit noisy and I can see that they have taken steps to control it but the space is still excessively noisy. Perhaps lowering the volume of the radio when busy would help.

   We’re from out of town, so we chose it from the reviews. It’s a great spot…just remember to bring your own wine. The octopus app is outstanding. The mushroom pasta dish is outstanding, too. The salmon was also perfect, just not as interesting as some of the other offerings. I don’t think that one can go wrong with menu options. We will be back. Thx Adam for the great service!

   Had a great dinner at Melograno last night. Prosciutto and melon, tuna tartare and polpette were delicious. Entrees included cacio e pepe, a house special pasta and lamb chops done perfectly. Tiramisu, gelato and sorbet rounded out the evening. Service was excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

    We always enjoy our visits here. The owner is always gracious and welcoming. We started off by splitting an arugula salad. Perfection. For entrees we had a special said ink and sautéed calamari. My husband cleaned the plate. I had another special of swordfish over risotto. The swordfish was extremely tender and juicy. The risotto was good, but it was topped with some grilled corn which were chewy and tended to get stuck in one’s teeth. The desserts were crème brûlée and chocolate mouse. Both were excellent. Our server Adam was very personable and helpful.

    This place was spectacular, some of the best pasta I’ve had. I was in town with my boyfriend for a weekend trip to Philly from DC and was recommended to eat here and some other places from a friend. I’m so glad we came here. The host Aaron was wonderful and so were the wait staff. We ordered the insalata and the meatballs for starters, then the Cacio e Pepe and the Amatriciana and oh my god. Delicious. And light! I could not stop talking about it and probably will not be able to stop thinking about it! And for dessert we had the chocolate mousse with brownies and the vanilla gelato, both were very good, but could go back for another spoonful of the gelato. We don’t come to Philly often but now we might have to!

    Let me begin by saying when you have a front of the house person as charming as Aaron, your dining experience is off to a very good start! We had the tartar, which I’d be remiss not to order every time we dine here, the perfect marriage of flavors. As a second course, the Granachio is my new favorite pasta with its succulent crabmeat and Calabrian chili lemon crema sauce. Divine! Our third course was the fish special, red snapper, perfectly cooked, with wild ramps and mashed potatoes. We finished with tiramisu which put an exclamation point on a spectacular meal! I know there are so many new restaurants in town, and we try to experience most of them at least once, but there’s nothing that matches the comfort of a quality offering of an old favorite like Melagrano!

    There was something about the chef and the small snippet on the restaurant that we saw in Chopped that made us want to try this restaurant. We are so happy we did… the service was excellent as were his recommendations (thank you Adam). The food was delicious (Tartufate is a must) and the special visit to our table by Chef Lucas made our night! We will be back!!
