I’m usually ok with most things but this was one of the worst salads I ever had. Our friend got meatballs app which was good, and same pasta as me. Weirdest thing was they brought out our pasta before my GF’s and friend’s app, and when we told them they literally took away my pasta as I was eating it. Utterly bizarre. Then told us they’d take the late apps off the bill, they forgot, we told them and they ultimately did. But between the late seating, missed appetizers, and bill correction, we were there 2 1/2 hours for a dinner which should’ve probably been a 45-60 minute experience.

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.

Delicious first visit to Melograno. Service was outstanding. Energetic vibe. Door was outstanding. Courses included a fried burrata, pasta special (amazing), and chicken covered with tomato, arugula, & mozzarella. It’s BYOB so we brought a bottle of Pinot. Can’t wait return.

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!

Great service - attentive but not rushed. Pleasant atmosphere. And great food. I thought I was in Rome.
