Profile

Alberto Tartari used to run a restaurant near Lake Iseo in Italy’s Lombardy region, an area known for its clean air and stunning natural beauty. So who knows why he packed it all in for a corner spot in Hell's Kitchen called Il Melograno. His menu covers the basics—salads, pasta, and panini—and offers a daily lunch special.

GOES FOR THE 2 WAITRESSES WHO SERVED US (A PARTY OF 8 PEOPLE) WHILE SERVING OUR TABLE, THEY WERE SO DESPERATE TO GO OUTSIDE FOR SMOKING, (AS THEY WERE SAYING TO EACH OTHER IN FRONT TO US) THEN THEY WERE FOR SMOKING, TWICE! WHEN THEY COME INSIDE, THEY DO NOT EVEN WASH HER'S HANDS AND BOTH SMELL HORRIBLE! I ASK THE GIRL NAME, SHE SAID; MY NAME IS MORE. ABAUT THE FOOD, BAD, LOT OF MISTAKES!

AVOID

9 av was packed and this place was the only place that we could get an immediate table for 5 and I realized why. It was possibly the worst restaurant i've ever been to in New York. The chicken dishes tasted like rubber and the seafood in my pasta tasted like frozen. There were not many customers but the service was terribly slow and awful. All in all probably the worst dining experience ever. Do yourself and anyone you know a favor, NEVER GO THERE!!!.
