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!

    ANYTHING with pesto is wonderful here! We brought friends here for the first time and they loved it. It’s small but doesn’t feel crowded. The specials are really special. It’s just got a great feel to it.

    The food is as good as it gets. It felt like eating in a small restaurant in Italy with the owner of the restaurant making certain everything was perfect for each person in your group. What a treat. We highly recommend this place.
