Melini Cuzina Italian

Amazing pizza, great customer service and beautiful dining area! I was just visiting Argillite and stopped here for some authentic Italian food and definitely found it! I heard that it is a local favorite and I concur that if I am in the area again I will definitely come back!

My wife, daughter, granddaughter and myself stopped today to try your food. My wife had been there earlier this month for my grandson's birthday party, had great meals, and wanted to let me experience the food. I'm sorry to say, this time everyone was unhappy with their meals, and what it cost to not enjoy them. My wife ordered Manicotti = $11.99 She said the noodles were undercooked, the sauce in her words, "blah". My daughter ordered Chicken Fettucine Alfredo = $13.99 She said the noodles were "ok", but the chicken seemed "stringy and dry". My granddaughter is 8, ordered the kids Fettucini Alfredo = $8.99 and other than "too hot", she was ok with hers. I ordered Baked Spaghetti & Meatsauce $12.99 . My noodles were overcooked and tough, the sauce, like my wife's, blah ... very little Italian seasonings. Meatsauce? Very little meat. We all put the greater amount of the portions in containers and left. Grand total including a $12 tip for a waitress that didn't clear the bread dishes, ask us how our food was, come to refill our waters, or thank us when we left, was $64.28 In this economy, this was a very expensive lesson. We will not be back. FYI, our Dutch Shepherd approved the leftovers.

Stopped in Grayson, Ky. while traveling. We asked the hotel front desk for a recommendation which pointed us to Melini's. First, our waitress was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is very clean and spacious inside. Our waitress brought us warm Italian bread with warm homemade marinara sauce for dipping. Very good. We ordered the caprese and the baked tomato. These appetizers were generous portioned and each could easily be shared by a couple - which my wife and I did. The baked tomato, sliced fresh tomatoes covered in melted bully mozzarella, then broiled with parmesan covering the top. What a simple yet satisfying dish. The caprese was 7 generous slices of tomato and bully mozzarella with EVOO and basil shredded over the top. Magnificent. Next, we ordered the antipasto salad. Again, a generous portioned dish that's large enough to share. A mix of iceberg lettuce, vegetables, slices of ham, salami, artichokes, provolone and buffalo mozzarella cheese, topped with oregano. Delicious. We should have stopped right there. We were well satisfied. Instead, we both ordered the stuffed shells. Two large shells stuffed with ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese on top of another generous portion of spaghetti covered in their marinara sauce. Wonderful, but we had to doggie bag most of the dish as we were stuffed. If you're out traveling by Grayson, Kentucky on the Bourbon Trail, I highly recommend this little Italian place.

A very good Italian restaurant, they brought out some breadsticks prior to the meal, it looked very good but the taste was bland.I still enjoying breadsticks with my meal, I should have asked for some olive oil!I had the chicken parmesan, and they prepared it the way I asked. The marina sauce is better than average.Girlfriend had the baked spaghetti and she enjoyed it.The wine was very good and not too expensive for the bottle.

Little town Italian, that's what this place is. The staff was great! The place was clean and seating was extremely spaced due to Covid. The prices were great for a small town, $8-$14 approx. We ordered spaghetti marinara, tri-color cheese tortellini, spaghetti with Marsala wine sauce, and beef ravioli. The good is the reason for the 3 stars. It was very mediocre to poor. The Marsala wine sauce was a glassy light brown that tasted only of gross oil/grease. The spaghetti marinara was below average (something about the sauce that I could put my finger on.) the other 2 dishes were fine, but just average and plain. This place was "fine," and I'm sure I could find 2-3 dishes that I wouldn't mind eating. Since this is one of the few actual restaurants in Grayson, you could definitely make it work and the staff was great.

Great authentic food great service and easy carry out I've tried several different dishes here and food quality is always on point. Very authentic not americanized. Thanks for that.

Had a very nice dinner here. Had the pollo Florentine. Great service and friendly folks.

Nasty pasta. I got the chicken Alfredo. it's water and milk . it's like a soup....no flavor. the chicken taste like pre-cooked Tyson chicken. No flavor! Bland, no seasoning at all. I normally get their calzones which are quite good. But I will never be getting any of their pastas again. bleh! I hate writing negative reviews. But for an almost 14 dollar pasta and a place that claims authentic italian food it's sad. This pasta makes fazolis taste like 5 star cuisine

This is my first visit to this restaurant. Many new places I visit are one and done. Not this restaurant. The food was delicious. The service was terrific. The atmosphere was great. This was one of the best places I have visited for dining. I am rating it 5 because that is the hight rating available on this sote.

The food is ALWAYS on point, the staff is always prompt and friendly. I've never had the pizza but every pasta dish we've had has been wonderful and steaming upon arrival to the table!
