   Amazing Italian food with interesting variations. Love that it’s a BYO also. Octopus is delicious and the fish special is always so good. A great place for a special occasion or just any old night dinner!

   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!!

    Melograno is one of favorite BYOBs in Phila. The food is sumptuous and the service superb. Keep wanting to try other BYOBs but we can never pass up a visit to Melograno's. Will be back as soon as we can!!

    We had a lovely dinner here last night. The food was very good and the prices were a bit high but still reasonable. I'm taking off one star because the service could have been just a bit more attentive and my friend's steak wasn't cooked properly (she ordered medium but it was more like medium-rare and in parts rare). But overall a nice experience.

    I'm shocked that no one mentioned this in any of the reviews but this place is BYOB and my date and I went without knowing that. So that was a giant bummer. However, what's super weird is that they don't sell ANY beverages. If you don't bring a drink, alcoholic or not, you can only drink water. It's bizarre. I had the Amatriciana pasta dish and it was really good ($19). I appreciated that the portion wasn't disgustingly large. My date got a steak frites special ($35) and it was definitely underwhelming. The cut of meat was on the tougher side and the sear wasn't as good as one should get for a fairly steep price. So if you go, stick with the pasta. The service was very nice; it was a bit loud but c'est la vie.

    No complaints. We ate early at 5:30. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was delicious. The pork meatballs with polenta were outstanding. Red sauce is awesome here. Home made Pasta and sauce for the 10yo was delicious. Our other entrees, breaded chicken and seafood special, were flavorful and cooked well. Would visit again.

    We asked for a quiet table and got a lovely table in the window where we were relatively isolated from other diners. Our server Adam was skilled and efficient with a good sense of humor, A+. Our food was delicious. We each had vegetarian pastas, shared a huge salad, and shared a contorni of grilled artichokes (not to be missed and very seasonal). Everything was delightful. I particularly enjoy the various shapes and consistencies of their homemade pastas. Each one is always perfect to hold and accent the other ingredients of the dish. If you like beets and vegetarian entrees, don't miss the beet ravioli.

    50+ age is great until about 8 30 when the loud college kids come. The college kids are nice and all....just a whole different environment. If you like normal sound levels go for a reservation no later than 6 30. But strongly recommend

    Despite a reservation over a week in advance, table was not ready for about 10+ minutes. When seated, hostess was noticeably annoyed—as she expressed her dissatisfaction at the table—that our 5th person was not coming and started to suggest we’d have to move. Our fifth person had hurt their ankle at last minute and called us. Life happens. We stayed at the table, not for our benefit but more because she appeared to not want to deal with it. So loud the waitress couldn’t hear some of our order and there were some minor mistakes. I imagine on a quieter evening, the staff isn’t as frazzled and the experience is more pleasant. Still a nice night overall, just not relaxing.
