Been there many times; finally experienced the negative attitude from owner and waiter. Too many other places to subject myself and friends to that.

Thin crust, which we love... Our friend had the 4 cheese pasta....excellent choice!!! I guess since the food is made from scratch the wait may... More

We went to Melio's because we had a two for one coupon. A reservation was required even though the place was empty when we arrived at 5pm. This is an odd place with patio dining, outside restrooms and indoor dining rooms & bar. The waitress who took our order was pleasant and helpful but dressed in a black outfit that... More

We have been going there for about 5 years...the freshly made to order authentic Italian dishes s and the delicious home made desserts make this a terrific place to celebrate birthdays or other events or non events. The eggplant is one of my favorites The hostess also makes the fabulous desserts... super setting and Tuscan feel. Love it.

I've eaten with guests at Melios five times or so. Each time has been excellent from the time we stepped in the door until the time we stepped out....service, food, desserts, atmosphere. I have eaten Italian food in many places in the US and around the world. Melios ranks right at the top. It is authentic Italian food cooked from... More

I have been here two times now and first came here by word of mouth. The first time I had a veal dish and it was excellent! But, my mother in law had it the second time we went there, she disliked it. My husband and I tried a pasta dish and a pizza, both were bland and not worth... More

What started out as a friendly place ended up not so good. Server about ignored us and we had to constantly ask for more water, drinks and bread. Sometimes more than once before we got it. The table on both sides of us must have been regulars because the server was always waiting on their every need and acted like... More

We went to Melio's last Friday evening and had another great meal.. We knew the Tubac Festival was going on so made our reservation a little earlier.. The food was excellent.. I had chicken marsala and the birthday girl had their lasanga.. Both meals were delicious as usual and the service was excellent.. If you want a very nice lunch... More
