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.

We had a delicious Valentine’s Day Dinner here. The price fixe menu was well worth it! Huge portion sizes and great choices. Next time, I would like to try the pasta with mushrooms and truffles.. someone next to us had ordered it and said it was fantastic!! It looked it. The tiramisu was also fabulous!! Service was good too.. our waitress was friendly and her suggestions were spot on! Will definitely come back again!! Can’t wait to try that pasta dish!!! 😊

The food was delicious. The pasta and main dish. The pricing was very reasonable. Bringing in your own liquor is a great way to keep costs down. I highly recommend it and will be back!

Great food. And excellent service. I had a couple of starters (burutta and another one) and a truffles-based pasta. It was excellent!
