Great Italian style restaurant, small and intimate. The service was great, the owner himself was serving and shaking hands with the customers. The rest of the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. I ordered were lamb shank, lined with a bed of mash potatoes, and veggies, with the most delicious gravy. I ate the whole thing in about ten mins. Carbonara and Lobster raviolis were ordered as well. Both were excellent, but the lamb shank was the best in my opinion.

I had taken her out last year for her birthday at Luna and at the end of the evening she was presented a lovely dessert on the house . Really pleased us both. No acknowledgment of my birthday last evening,even seeing gifts on the table which (Habib the owner)moved to make room for our plates. We both ordered the mushroom ravioli, which we had the last time. This time the raviolis had been cooked ahead of time because they were dry on the edges. We should've sent it back, but we didn't. Both of us are very good cooks so we know how easy it is to cook raviolis. I also cash purchased two containers of minestrone soup to go after we were finished our meal. I gave the server a $20 bill and all that came back was four dollars which means they kept the additional change. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but, you don't round up and keep the change. We will look for another place to celebrate our birthdays.

The food however was overcooked, bland and basic. I'm not sure since it was a prix fixe menu if they cooked everything in advanced and reheated the food (which it seemed like they did). Our starter should have been a red flag with the soggy bread and mush smoked salmon. The chicken with Marsala sauce was ultra dry and so overcooked that the knife was having difficulty cutting it. The short rib was lukewarm and the sauce had no flavor. The veggies on both entrees were so salty that they were not edible. The only part of the dinner that was enjoyable to eat was the dessert and the lobster bisque soup. For a $200 dinner we were underwhelmed and a bit annoyed but didn't complain (maybe I should have though). This was our first time here so a little bummed this spot didn't live up to the reviews but maybe you'll have better luck. Not worth $200 in my opinion.

Best Experience I've Ever Had at a Restaurant…read more Today is one of the most important days of my life--I got married. I chose to celebrate this special moment with my wife and my daughter at Melo's in Walnut Creek, and I will never forget how they treated us. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond. The service was not just professional--it was genuinely kind, warm, and full of heart. They made us feel like family. What truly touched me is that they refused to charge us for our meal. In a world where everything is business, this level of generosity and humanity is rare. It wasn't just about the food (which was amazing, by the way), it was about the way they made us feel on a day that means everything to me. To the entire team at Melo's: thank you for making our wedding day even more special. You didn't just serve us food--you gave us a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. If you're thinking about where to eat in Walnut Creek, don't think twice. This place is not just a restaurant--it's a place with heart.

This place is split in 2 one side is more like a bar with about 3 TVs and the other side is a restaurant. Upon walking it does look a little older inside but it's not awful, it's clean and that's what matters to me. I walked up to what I thought was a host desk but I was wrong lol nobody greeted me initially so i just sat at the bar. They had 2 bartenders Alex was one who was very nice and the drinks were great! We went and sat in the bar side, tv sound was very low so i asked if they could turn it up which they did. Tv sound was still low even when on 100. We ordered food ( chicken picatta, calamari,caprese salad, bambino's pizza) the food was the best part! The picatta was perfectly cooked and seasoned, calamari was like a steak style the sauces that they give are phenomenal!!! The pizza was great, i loved the breading. Again, Alex kept the bottomless mimosas coming and with a smile. The food and drinks would definitely have me Coming back!

AMAZING. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!! I got the Cajun Alfredo creamy and flavorful and not spicy. The clam chowder soup was delicious too. I will def be coming back here because the service and food was so good. If you're looking for a new spot with a neighborhood feel look no further. Try this place!!!

I also promised…read morean update once that happened so here it is: PROS: - Service was amazing (our server was kind and accommodating in correcting a mistake I made while ordering, bless her heart!) - The atmosphere of the restaurant is slightly darker, with a lively, mature crowd, and a beautiful bar that spans the entire restaurant front to back on the side we were on (without the band), so plenty of seating (and it looks like there was still room for more tables if they needed it) - The layout of the establishment is H-shaped, with some tvs on the bar side and live entertainment on the other.You could still hear the band from the other side of the room but it was not at all loud, a good option for those with a noise level preference - The 2-man band was singing cover songs from over the decades and did a great job - I ordered the GF Frutti Di Mare in Alfredo sauce and once again my meal was delicious... the GF pasta was (again) cooked to perfection! - The meal portion size was generous, as were the seafood pieces in the dish (not stingy at all!!!) CONS: - None I stand firm in my 5 stars. This place is now a fave of mine for sure. Highly recommended!

Even with the place buzzing, he stayed attentive, efficient, and completely on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed or forgotten. We had a reservation and arrived right on time, made even sweeter by the rare miracle of snagging a parking spot directly out front. The hostess greeted us warmly and confirmed our reservation, but then another hostess -- I assume -- stepped in and instructed her to seat us at table #13(that wasn't the actual # but it may as well have been) The tone alone told me everything I needed to know... and unfortunately, my instincts were right. I have a strong aversion to tables near bathrooms, server stations, or high-traffic areas, and of course this table was planted directly across from the silverware replenishment station. UUGGHHH. Constant movement, clanking silverware, staff traffic not exactly the ambiance I had hoped for. I almost asked for the empty table beside it, but for whatever reason, I let it slide this time. Thankfully, the rest of the evening more than redeemed itself. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, the sour dough bread is served hot with soft garlic butter, the chicken piccata was rich, bright, and comforting, and the Mizithra cheese pasta coated in brown butter was pure decadence. Then came the spumoni ice cream , combined pistachio, cherry and chocolate flavors the perfect sweet finale to the meal. A full three-course dinner for $30 that actually tastes this good? Practically unheard of these days. Despite my seating disappointment, the service and food absolutely earned another visit from me. Next time, though, I'll definitely convey my seating preferences.

Service was good  The Valentines prix consisted of an app, entree, and dessert, some of which are not on their regular menu!!  -bread and marinara (4/5): bread was great, thick slices and nice crust. Marinara was standard -potato-leek puree (4/5): came in a cute little cup to drink out of, good flavor -gamberoni (5/5): prawns were a good size and perfectly grilled. The sauce was a good addition -polette (4/5): meatballs were juicy and the pesto was flavorful and creamy. Interesting thing to have as an appetizer though -fettuccini carne (5/5): I always have an internal struggle about getting a red sauce or a cream sauce, so this was the perfect option as a creamy red sauce pasta. Serving size was good, and there was also plenty of meat and mushrooms, which I loved! Flavor was great! -lamp chop (4/5): good grilled flavor, but one was slightly too raw for our liking so we had to send it back to the kitchen to cook it some more. Our waitress was very understanding though! The mashed potatoes and veggies were also good. -tiramisu (3.5/5): good flavor, but there was wayyy more cream than ladyfinger, so the textural balance was off. And I love cream! -peanut butter chocolate brownie (4/5): really good but also pretty sweet. Loved how thick the whipped cream was, but didn't taste as much peanut butter as I would've liked Overall, I had a great experience for their valentines day prix menu.

The cannellini beans were not as savory as I'd hoped based on others' reviews -- maybe I thought they'd be in a red sauce? -- but they were still a nice, earthy balance to our richer dishes. The Caesar Salad was simple but exactly what we needed -- light, refreshing, crunchy. The wine was wonderful, and the service spectacular. So glad we finally tried this place!
