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!

    Il Melograno is not on a central location but is certainly worth the walk. Small, genuine Italian restaurant, nice Italian dishes and wine at normal prices. This was the first NY restaurant were we were truly enthousiastic to order a good bottle of European wine.
