Perfect place to go with someone special! We loved the calamari, the batter stayed with the calamari and was seasoned well. The service was on point from entry to leaving. We noted that it was our anniversary when making reservations and they made sure a few times that it was noted. The courses came out at just the right time, simply elevating the Melfi’s experience. I highly recommend asking for the gelato as soon as you’re seated, a delightful way to cap a most pleasant evening and they prepare it while you are eating dinner. The pasta, pizza, fried zucchini and steak Florentine were delicious and we will be back again! Good cocktails!

The wine list is nice & the cocktails are on point. The thin crust pizza was probably my favorite dish. That wood fired oven makes all the difference! It gave New York Italian vibes. No shade, there’s just a difference between Italian, and NY Italian. The restaurant itself was lovely and charming, but several dishes needed tweaks. One lacked salt, another the pasta was undercooked, etc.

Excellent service and food! Our server helped us pick out a delicious bottle of wine. We sat outside and it was lovely. Definitely order the pizza!

Loved our time at Melfi’s. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was great. We could have sat there all night. Our server, I believe his name was Johnny, was outstanding. One of the best experiences I have had due to his laid back nature and connection with us as guests. We ordered a lot of stuff and it was all good, but the plum dessert (not pictured) is a must. I have never had a dessert like it and could have kept eating it. I hope you enjoy Melfi’s as much as I did!

What an experience. Worth the price of admission. Service across the board was excellent. Everyone was friendly and upbeat to include the “Go Tigers” shout out from the hostess. We had the Stracciatella and Olive Oil Bruschetta ($13), and the Crispy Calamari ($16). Portions were small but enough for four to get a taste of what was to come. For dinner we had a Gnudi ($22) which was an interesting item to try. Too rich for a person to eat all by themselves so we ended up sharing it. I would definitely order it again. Mains included the Bucatinit “Cacio E Pepe” ($30), the Linguine with Clams ($37), and the Rigatoni ($33). All were excellent and a health portion – probably too big but small from an American standard. You could not go wrong with anything you ordered. It all tasted freshly made and unique. We ended the night with 3 deserts. We also had a Peroni ($8), a glass of Nebbiolo ($16) and a San Giovanni Sour – vodka, limoncello, and prosecco ($14). Overall the cost was around $250 without a tip. We would recommend to anyone and if you are on a budget – save up because this is worth the investment.

My 1st time here and I really liked it. I got the calamari and it was absolutely awesome. The chef special the pizza should be on their daily menu. I asked to be sit outside and the outdoor decor is relaxing and peaceful. I got so full. The staff was the best. They were all smiling and checking to make sure I was good. Even the General Manager (who recently started) was great.

FANTASTIC! Delicious! Our server/bartender Katie was fabulous. We sat at the bar and it was perfect. You worry about space but the bar stools are big and comfy so you’re not squished. I started with a perfect martini . My husband and I shared the Caesar salad and we both agree it’s the best we’ve ever had! I had the pork osso bucco and my husband the linguini with clams. Both meals were truly outstanding. We will be back. My only regret is waiting this long to go! Thank you Katie for your wonderful service! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ALL THE WAY!!
