We visited Nonno Melo a second time based on the excellent experience last visit. This time we were treated almost as a part of the family, very friendly, the staff immediately recognized us. Food and service was again excellent.. really a very nice experience.. unforettable as the first time.. nice italian music in the background..

For the past 10 years, I have eaten at this restaurant when I was in Rome- it was recommended by a local. The owner ran the place, it had a small but amazing menu with great food and was just everything you want from an authentic local restaurant. The owner has now retired and the new owners have turned it into a tourist trap with lots of menu items, large portions with nothing being particularly good. It has turned into one of the worse places I have eaten in Italy and I would not go back. It was a sad that the pasta I ate at the airport was better! I do not recommend this place.

This restaurant was literally round the corner from our hotel and since it poured with rain for two days solid we were grateful that it was good. Some of the dishes could be made gluten free which my partner appreciated. I loved the delicious pizza Bianca. Special shoutout to Noor who ensured that my partner’s birthday was not forgotten - and to all the staff who were very kind and thoughtful.

Poor service and food. Salad of iceberg and pasta overcooked. The calamari was good.

The best experience in a perfect location. We had a late reservation and they still welcomed us in before the kitchen closed. The food was incredible, we felt right at home, and the staff treated us better than anywhere else in the city. Truly unforgettable. Thank you to Simone, Zane, and Giadorno! You made our night.

Fantastico. The chicken breast secondi piatti was phenomenal as well as the roasted lamb chops. The insalata amare was yummy and so fresh. A delightful time and the staff were very kind. Love the art work, too. Very authentic and traditional restaurant with solid familia connections.
