Menu is impressive. Italian dishes... over priced. Sounds like a nice anniversary dinner. Wrong. Bread had to have been two days old, very dry. Waitress was uptight but took our order. That was it. No fresh Parmesan cheese.... no Italian salad dressing (I know, right) And they never asked us if we wanted another drink. So disappointed!

Worst service ever, very rude.. had to wait to order, bread was hard as a rock, sauce was over cooked, never asked if we wanted another drink,, over priced.. definitely would NOT recommend

Excellent! We were very hungry and most of the restaurants were on a wait list. This one was not but should have been. Great food and great service! I had the linguine with white clam sauce and my wife had the lasagna. Both were excellent!

Ordered tonight through GrubHub - Melos did not disappoint. Spaghetti and meatballs are always amazing and we decided to try the manicotti for the first time - absolutely delicious. My only reason for a 4 instead of 5 star is that I was only offered a cannoli for dessert. You should expand your dessert options on the delivery sites. Thank you

Four of us popped in for dinner because of the great authentic Italian food, it was the best! They are hurting for good customers to come back...they are geared up for all Covid policies!If you're ready fine safe inside dining Melo's is it,Enjoy! We did and I have lunch for tomorrow.

First dining experience at this restaurant after moving over to the East Coast from Tampa.Both myself and my wife, being Italian and involved with the Italian family culture and customs, can attest that this restaurant offers excellent dishes, a great and plentiful salad, the steak and seafood were both excellent, as was the coffee and the deserts, most especially the cannoli.The presentation was excellent on all servings.The wait staff is excellent, very attentive, and concerned about your dining experience.Friendly atmosphere, warm welcome, and a dining room with a good homey Italian atmosphere with low noise volume.The restaurant is a bit dated but that seemed to add to the ambience of being in an established 20 year old Italian restaurant.Prices are very reasonable for what you are getting and we never felt rushed or neglected.Definitely not a pizza place but an Italian Restaurant that has a lot to offer.Parking is excellent and plentiful for its location.Restaurant deserves 5 Stars for all the above.The first impression was good and we will be back.

If you are visiting and looking for a nice restaurant this is it. Great food. Good service. Convenient location. Not crowded which is a shame. So many afraid to dine out right now. They are missing out on a real GEM.

This 3 is a really 3.5. Super nice place, incredibly formal for a beachside restaurant, but sadly it just wasn't up to par. The food was good, Olive Garden-esque, and for the prices it just didn't match up. My mother makes better pasta, honestly. However, the server was incredibly kind and my meal personally was very good, I got the eggplant parmigiana. They also give bread and salad, and the vinaigrette was super good.

Quaint, family-owned business; homemade pasta, fresh marinara, and excellent martinis. It is clear that love goes into every dish.

My husband & I were on vacation and celebrating our 37th Anniversary! We were looking for a good Italian restaurant ! Well we sure found it!! Melo's Italian Ristorante was amazing!! The food was delicious and Lisa our waitress was beyond amazing! She even surprised us with a yummy dessert for Our Anniversary!! We recommend this restaurant if your hungry and want excellent food and service!!!!!
Best Italian food ever!!! Staff is super friendly!!! My only complaint is that it a 45 minute drive for us to eat there!!! We'd eat there every day if we could!!

This is THE best Italian and non-casual restaurant in Brevard county. Lisa and Melo run a very fine establishment. The quality and spectrum are top notch. The whole experience is fantastic. Melo's is the best dining experience in our county.

Valentines Dinner. Our first visit here. Had reservation, we were not greeted, ignored kept waiting! Obviously they did not have enough staff since gal at bar was on phone, fixing drinks and trying to seat people! No better with wait staff. Food was nothing impressive and expensive. Will not return.

Melo’s has some of the best traditional Italian food in the area. Service is great, you couldn’t ask for a better dining experience.

This place is great for educational programs with a lecturer. The food was surprisingly delicious. I love broccoli rabe and this place made it with lots of garlic just the way I love it. I didn't have room for dessert but I found room for a cannoli. The presentation of the cannoli was lovely. The fresh grapefruit on the plate complimented the flavor of the creamy filling. The cannoli shell was not the best I've ever had however the filling was light, flavorful and very enjoyable.
