We ordered the lasagna was delicious. We arrived when the restaurant was about to close its kitchen. The owner was very nice and the place was very clean.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. The location feels like a 1940s European cafe. Food is fantastic and an incredible value. I was surprised by how affordable their wine list was. I saved the best for last: service. I sat next to a table which had a couple of ladies who had been patrons for years and knew many of the staff. That’s always a good sign. I hope to be a customer like that for Melograno.
