Food: Our friend recommended this place and they’ve been dined in or ordered takeouts multiple times. We came here and tried the recommended dishes, and it’s probably by far the BEST I’ve tried near Bay Area. I can’t wait to come back again and tried other pasta dishes and see if Melo’s going to be my fav Italian restaurant of all time! 100% recommend the chicken parmigiana, the sauce and cheese are perfectly balanced. I’m very picky when it comes to cheese or cream, and they made it so well✨ Square pizza is also another highlight. It was slight over burnt on the edge but the honey complements the flavor of the pepperoni and crispness.
Ambiance: it was warm and cozy. We sat in the patio seats and it suddenly rained, and all the staff came out to open the shades, and they also helped with the heater and offering blankets which makes the dining experience enjoyable.
Staff: nice and friendly, very helpful indeed.

First time at Melo's and had a great time. It was pretty packed even with reservations we had to wait 15 mins but wasn't that long! Celebrated my brothers birthday. Highly recommend!

We celebrated Valentine's Day at Melo's in Walnut Creek with my wife, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. The atmosphere was warm and festive, perfect for the occasion. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. Overall, it was a lovely lunch filled with good conversation, great company, and a wonderful dining experience.

My family and I had such a wonderful experience celebrating my birthday here — I'm so glad we chose this spot! Our 7:15pm reservation on Valentine's weekend was understandably a little behind, and there was a small hiccup with our table, but they quickly made it right with premium hospitality (cheers to the complimentary champagne 🥂). Our server was prompt and super friendly. We started with the focaccia (total crowd pleaser), warm olives, and calamari — all delicious. I had the gem Caesar (hands down one of the best salads), and everyone enjoyed their garden and beet & goat cheese salads. I also appreciated that they cleared the table before entrees arrived — it's the little things! For a party of 8, every entrée came out piping hot! I had the porcini mushrooms with added shrimp (perfection), and my husband loved the vegetarian lasagna. Others ordered the classic lasagna, fettuccini Alfredo, and meat pasta — the quiet table said it all. From two chefs — trust us, it was that good. We'll definitely be back!

We had such a lovely experience. From the time we arrived until the time we departed. There were 6 of us and we got together for our friend’s birthday. We had dinner reservations on Saturday evening. I’ve dined here in the past and really enjoyed my experience. The host and our waitress were pleasant and lovely.
It’s hard for us to get away from our work/motherhood lives. We were seated outside and it was comfortable with the heated lamps and blankets. The food and drinks were delicious. Our waitress checked on us at appropriate times and never made us feel rushed to order or leave. She was very kind to us. Honestly, it was such a perfect evening out.
I highly recommend their calamari appetizer, bolognese pasta, pesto pasta, and square pizzas.

Sarah is the best waitress I’ve ever had! She was amazingly attentive, down to earth, and, honesty, very funny. Food was also good - I recommend the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni.
I mean I really wanted to like this place after all the money I spent, but when I unrolled my utensils last night there was FOOD still on and stuck to the fork that was supposed to be CLEAN. It was disgusting. It had to be chipped off and even then it was still dirty. Just gross.
To top it off, the parm was skimp on the spaghetti, and the bolognese, though the noodles were delicious, was quite bland. But the service was good, and I don’t have much to complain about in that sense.
I did not make a scene but I will not be going back here and nor do I recommend visiting. I have never gone to an establishment that has given me dirty forks and utensils to eat with, and I am horrified.

Placed an order using the Uber app. It came in a timely manor put the chicken parm did not come with pasta, it was congealed, cold, no sauce, and the chicken was dry. It came with a very dry ceasar salad that consisted of three salad leaves sprinkled with some Parmesan cheese and no dressing or croutons. I got a tiramisu for dessert and that was good. The two items cost me $80 including the tip.
Love the atmosphere, and the service is good.
