Food was good, but presentation was just so-so. Brined porkchop was much too salty. Menu overly limited Service not particularly attentive The noisest restaurant I have ever been which did not have live entertainment. Really, really uncomfortably noisy I cannot recommend.

Sadly slipping in service and cuisine – Unfortunately, the food has fallen off, but you can still certainly have a decent meal. So with that in mind, you would think they would pay special attention to their customer service. My last experience, and the one I will remember most is the way I was last greeted. Without saying too much, it was not in a manner of which I am looking for in a restaurant I patron often and previously always referred to in a very favorable way. With all the new and inviting restaurants available to u... read more

Did NOT live up to the hype!!! – Maybe they were having an off night when I dined there, but my experience at Melograno was disappointing. I was so looking forward to eating here after so many people I know had raved about the place. It wasn't horrible but my server seemed out of it and then, when I got my food it was cold! I hate that! And my server was didn't come back to check on us for at least 20 mins. At that point I was over the whole experience. Disappointing!

Worst.Service.Ever. – In this bad economy, don't waste your time patronizing this establishment. The service is so awful that the food did not make up for any of the experience. There are PLENTY of other restaurants who are more deserving and will feed you equally well if not better, I organized a dinner for a group of friends there last week and the hostess was haughty and curt from the begining. Granted my group was large but she insisted that I cut down my number from 13 to 12 in order to not be forced to order from a lim... read more

Disappointing – I went one Sat. at 5:30 with my 3 teenage daughters. I had been there several times recently with my husband and friends. We were treated very well then. But, with my daughters - we were treated very differently from any other time we had been there - and any other table our server was serving. Not once did our server ask how the dinner was - or if we needed anything. He was re-visiting the tables around us multiple times. We even tried to catch his attention, only to be ignored. I don't care how good the foo... read more

Exceptional Italian BYOB – Melograno is definitely one of the shining stars of the Philadelphia BYOB scene. I'm not sure what the problem is with people who have complaining about the hostess and the service there. I've been there on multiple occasions (at both the old and now the new location) and never had any problems. Perhaps people just aren't used to what to expect at a BYOB? All such establishments live or die on a good table turnover so it's never going to be a place where you linger for hours over a couple cups of c... read more

Horrible Experience! Very Rude Hostess ... – Wow, this has to be the rudest people at a restaurant I've ever dealt with. I've dined all over the world, and this by far, was the rudest hostess, and waitress I've ever encountered. Snobby, and rude. I agree with phillygirl20 who said the hostess was rude. She did the same thing to our party of 5. Wouldn't seat us unless the entire party was there, waiting...told us we had to be out at a certain time, and hawked us during our meal. She clearly talked about us to the waitress, wh... read more

Hostess is rude, pushy, & ruined our experience! – Short vers...the hostess was first refusing to seat our party of 8, then when the restaurant cleared unexpectedly, she changed her mind and called us in on short notice, hawked us until the rest of our party arrived, threatened to give our table away and then also gave us a time limit for when we had to leave-and came back to remind us about it!! Long vers.. We arrive with a group of 8 and the hostess proceeds to tell us that it's not going to work for us because they could ... read more

Great food, service could be improves – The new location is fabulous with hardly a wait for a party of 4. The food is wonderful- the scallops and artichoke is such a great appetizer. The food is always fresh and hot. The service could use some improvement- We're convinced that there's only one friendly and diligent waitress on the staff.
