Reviews for Melini Cucina Italian Restaurant in Ironton, OH
The booths are awful narrow but they had a table that accommodated us. The table was also pretty small. There was 4 of us and... I ended up holding my plate to eat. It could always be worse though. It was nice Read more
I had a really great experience here! Friends and family had talked it up and it definitely didn't disappoint! The breadsticks... were really good- but the sauce is fantastic. Stromboli was great. The white pizza was so-so, maybe could use some more flavor,garlic or basil. Happy hour prices were some of the best in the area without having to go to Huntington, some draft beers,wines, cocktails. Our server was Hattie and she was amazing, basically running the whole place by herself it seemed!! Overalldefinitely a place I'll visit again/get carryout from again soon! Read more
Scrumptious. The Mrs. & I run out of town often to grab a quick dinner here, even though we have a location in Portsmouth.... Clean, fast good service, and consistently quality food. Beats Olive Garden by a mile. My go-to is the Mexican Pizza/Calzone andhers is the salmon. Read more
After eating there a 2nd time, a about three years apart, I am disappointed. Absolutely excellent the 1st time. Now, the... shellfish was pitifully undercooked. Read more

Took my boyfriend to dinner for father's day. He had ate here once and loved it and I hadn't tried it yet. Hands down absolutely... amazing food! Went out of my comfort zone and tried grouper for the first time and I was not disappointed! Read more
Absolutely fantastic experience. Best restaurant experience I've had since living in this area. The atmosphere inside is not too... casual nor too upscale. The food is excellent. I mean absolutely excellent. The sauces are all freshly made, and the flavor isproof enough of this. Everything was cooked to perfection. Our waiter, Roger, made the experience even more enjoyable with theknowledge of the menu. My wife was unsure of what to order. After explaining what she was looking for, the suggestion givenabsolutely hsit the spot. Cannot think of anything that would have made the experience better. Would give 10 stars if I could. Read more
Our experience here had some highs and lows... And the best/worst all involved the service. This was our first time here and it... was recommended to us by several locals (always a good thing!) despite the fact that it's a regional chain. Draft beer selectionwas pretty limited (and it's a Pepsi joint - which earns demerits from me). We saw the mozz cheese sticks covered with tomatosauce & baked with shredded mozzarella cheese over it which sounded wonderful! The server asked us if we wanted the mozz sticksfried or baked. We looked at each other confused and said, "well... Fried, right?" Our server shrugged. Well, that was the wronganswer. We received regular old mozz sticks... No sauce over it, no extra shredded mozzarella cheese. Total bummer. ???? I hadseafood Alfredo (daily special) and my companion had stuffed manicotti. She couldn't decide between a red or Alfredo sauce. Ourserver suggested a pink sauce - good idea! Our dishes arrived. Mine was fine with the Alfredo on the better side of good (theydo make it there) but there wasn't much pink sauce on the manicotti so we asked for more. We had to ask the server two moretimes and then when it finally arrived it was absolutely heavenly. However, when the bill arrived not only were we up-charged$2.99 for the pink sauce without being told that we were also charged $2.99 for the extra pink sauce! None of that was cool.They also make their salad dressings; I had blue cheese and she had Caesar dressing. Decor was Italian and they were playingItalian pop music, which was kind of fun. Bottom line: If you go and have questions, make sure you get full answers. On thefence about going back if we're in the area again. Read more
