    If you're on the hunt for an Italian spot that really knows how to deliver the goods, Mello’s Italian Table is where it’s at. This restaurant has nailed the whole Italian dining vibe, and trust me, you don’t want to miss out. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance hits you just right. Think cozy, yet classy—it's got a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The decor strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern flair, making it the ideal backdrop for a chill night out with friends or a date that could lead to something serious. The soft lighting and smooth Italian tunes will have you feeling like you’ve just stepped onto a picturesque street in Florence. Now let’s talk about the menu. Mello’s Italian Table serves up a killer selection of Italian classics that will have your taste buds singing. Kick things off with their homemade bruschetta or creamy burrata—both are loaded with flavor and perfectly shareable (if you’re feeling generous). For your main dish, while they don’t make their own pasta, the options they offer are fantastic—think rich sauces and fresh ingredients that hit all the right notes. And we can’t forget about the drinks. Mello’s has an awesome wine list that pairs beautifully with whatever you choose to chow down on. The staff is super knowledgeable and can hook you up with the perfect recommendation. Plus, their crafted cocktails are a vibe—each one is a creative mix that’ll elevate your dining experience. Speaking of the staff, the service here is top-notch. The waitstaff is friendly and genuinely passionate about what they do, making sure you feel like a valued guest rather than just another table. They’ve got a way of making you feel at home while keeping things professional—a true balance that’s hard to find. In a nutshell, Mello’s Italian Table is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in

    Loved the vodka pasta, the combo and margarita pizzas and the combo salad and Fuji apple salad. Our server was great. Not a fancy restaurant but a regular go to with very pleasant ambiance.

    We went for Saturday lunch and tried 2 salads and 3 pizzas. The round pizzas are thin crust and the square are deep dish. All were tasty. Our server was very nice and the atmosphere was pleasant and lively.
