   The food was well-prepared, and the manager made an appearance during service, which was appreciated. Our server recommended his favorite dish, which I did end up ordering. I thought the overall atmosphere felt too casual given the price point, though. The use of paper placemats seemed strange, and I found it odd to be cutting meatballs with a butter knife. While the flavor was wonderful, the meatballs were served slightly cold. My entrée—the pork chop—was satisfactory. The dessert menu was limited, and the pot de crème we ordered fell short of expectations. I ordered coffee after my meal and it was overly diluted and resembled tea more than a proper cup of coffee. Overall delicious food with a casual atmosphere.

   We have been to Melograno many times, but It has been awhile since we visited,and decided to go back with another couple to celebrate our friend’s birthday. In the past, the food was never great, but was always good, and there was always a fun atmosphere. This evening we found the food to be over salted and some of the dishes otherwise tasteless. We had an issue with the birthday dessert we ordered and it was brought to manager’s attention. His response was beyond rude, when he could have just apologized for the mix-up. There are too many very good restaurants in Center City to have to put up with rudeness from a manager. We wont be back.

   Our food was absolutely delicious…the mushroom tartufate was an absolute highlight. Service was helpful and efficient and the ambiance was lovely, too.

   Second time at Melagrano and it was as good or better than our first. Very warm welcome from host/manager who was attentive throughout the evening. We believe this is one of the best values in center city. The food is phenomenal and the pricing very fair. The Tuna carpacio was excellent. A melon, proscuitto mozzerella carpacio special was outstanding. Both appetizers the flavors melted in your mouth. The Duck ragu pasta was yummie. The fettucini special with zucchini, mushrooms, Italian ham and olive oil was very good. Finished off the dinner with a shared chocolate pot de creme which was intensely rich and delicious. Our server was attentive & pleasant despite having many tables . We will be back. Over the past 20+ years we have latched onto what we deem to be go to restaurants, i.e. Meza Luna and Bistrot St Tropez. We think Melagrano will become our next go to restaurant.

   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.
