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.

Dinner for 6 at Melograno’s was awesome! The restaurant is comfortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable (especially Marco). The food is amazing! We sampled salads, burrata, multiple pasta dishes and of course dessert. Everything was delicious. Thank you!

WE just love this restaurant - Food is amazing the Bucatini was so very good and it is not something you can find in any Italian restaurant. The tiramisu was so creamy and light. Food, service and ambiance were spot on. Our waiter Marco was a sweetheart. Can't wait to return.
