    Food was solidly average. No bread, apps came out lukewarm, entrees were okay. Towards the end, the manager shooed us out as we were in the process of eating dessert (it’s not like we were sitting there for hours and hours not doing anything.) Probably won’t be back anytime soon.

    Had an early dinner with friends at this BYOB. Server was attentive; food was great, including one of the day's specials. Menu had enough variety without going crazy. Only downside: Got a bit noisy once it filled up.

    It was so enjoyable!! We had a lovely time. The food and service were outstanding and the manager was very helpful and accommodating. He showed me the restrooms, came over to our table multiple of times as did our server. They even called us to tell us we left a bottle of wine. I’ve told about 10 people today how wonderful our experience and the food. We will definitely return.

    My grandparents were born in Rome and Naples, so I grew up in the U.S. with great Italian food. My wife and I traveled to Italy every year until COVID hit. We miss Italy and dining at Melograno feels like a visit to Italy.
