My wife was craving chicken parmesan and we were hours from anywhere familiar. We read reviews on Melini and it seemed more like a pizza joint but we decided to take a chance. When you walk the first thing you notice is the beautiful decorative ceiling and woodwork around the windows which feels welcoming and warm.

The food is pretty good, and the serving sizes are great for the price. I plan on trying a few more dishes in the future. So far, I have tried their grouper salad, and it was excellent.5 stars. I have also had their pizza. It's not my favorite but pretty solid 4 stars. I most recently tried the Italian sausage and peppers. It was quite tasty at 4.5 stars.
