About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Melograno was established in 2003 by Chef Gianluca Demontis & Rosemarie Tran. The couple met in Rome when Rose was studying abroad. When Luca relocated to Philadelphia they wanted to represent his roots. Located in the beautiful Rittenhouse Square, surrounded by shops and entertainment. Melograno is a warm haven for good food and comforting service. A place to enjoy with friends and family. We are a BYOB so bring the spirits of your choice, we are happy to serve you.

    My son and I were lucky to get a table at the last minute on a Saturday night! Every table was full when we got there. It was very lively and a little noisy. The food was excellent. I had the beet ravioli! They were EXCELLENT!! We both enjoyed the Burratta. My son had a pasta dish, I forget the name. It had crab meat and a cream sauce. He enjoyed it but really preferred my ravioli, after he tasted them. There was meter parking right on the street.

    The staff are superb here, and we were charmed from the moment we arrived. The food was just as superb, and impressed all six of us foodies who travel to Italy every year. The service was perfect, and all in all it made for a wonderful evening. All six of us were impressed and plan to return. We loved that it was a BYOB, and they do have ice buckets for white wines or champagne. Honestly it could not have been improved upon and we are food AND restaurant snobs!

    We had a lovely dinner. Loved the location and the atmosphere was very nice. Our waiter, Marco, was wonderful and very patient as we tried to learn a few words in Italian. Food was very good and a great value.

    This was a second trip and as tempted as I was to get the tartufte again, I took a chance and went for the beet ravioli instead. It was a good choice, I’m glad I took a chance and tried another item, the food here is outstanding and the servers are very attentive.

    The food and experience was exceptional! We loved it! Our only complaint was how hot it was. There was only a fan and no air conditioning. Otherwise phenomenal!
