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.

    Terrible. Literally any other restaurant would’ve been better. Olive Garden has better pasta.

    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!

    High quality ingredients and innovation in cooking techniques are apparent in the food and it’s a byo. We enjoyed our meals.

    I've been dining at Melograno since it opened 20 years ago and the food and service have been excellent. We had the octopus last night and it was charred to perfection. The home-made pastas were delicious. We had the pappadelle with mushrooms and walnuts and the pasta with duck ragu. The chocolate dessert was rich and decadent which was perfectly paired with a raspberry glaze and homemade whipped cream.

    My wife and I left the table to wash our hands before leaving. Our coats and 2 opened bottles of wine were left at the table. When we returned the table was still uncleared but the wine was gone. We inquired of the manager and he returned the bottles of wine to us, one was opened. He provided no explanation.

    We are regular customers. The food is generally good and we like the BYOB. But I must say, we were rudely rushed out of the restaurant. This truly mage the whole experience unenjoyable. We won’t be back.
