My husband and I stumbled upon Meelo's a few weeks ago and are so glad we did. What a charming, cozy place for a late supper with my husband. We were given great advice about what to order by a friendly couple seated next to us. We chose a Spanish Salad, (small was plenty for both of us) the citrusy... More

This is like two in one place. a combination of Spanish and Italian food. Plenty of parking space, nice staff and cozy restaurant. They offer tapas, italian, and some international food. The food was good although not memorable. At the end of your meal you may have a surprise of a shot of Limoncello.

I was looking forward to this place after reading some reviews and wasn't dissappointed. The food was great, ordered the grilled lamb chops tapas and regretted not ordering the dinner entree. The chops were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff was great, had three people finding out if the lamb was domestic or New Zealand. There was even a guy... More

We just dined for the first time at this warm and inviting restaurant last evening. The owner and staff are genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious and authentic. I am Italian and raised in the NJ area, so I know Italian food. Usually American's murder Italian food but this was such a treat. Usually you have to go to Little... More

Charming little bristro that reminded me of Little Italy in New York. Owner is so sweet and welcoming. Excellent service. The salmon was very good as well as the scallop special. The tapas menu looked very tempting and will try that on our next visit. The tiramisu was the perfect end to a lovely meal.

This is a cozy little restaurant located where you are warmly welcomed when you walk in. We dropped in on a Friday night after reading that they had a tapas menu. The atmosphere is similar to a neighborhood city restaurant, though it's located in a strip mall. It was clear than many of the diners are regulars. Not only was... More

Every soup we've ever had at Meelo's we wanted to take home (in fact, we've ordered large containers to go at the end of our meals). The atmosphere is like a small Italian cafe/bistro. The chef/owner is congenial and genuinely happy to have you as a guest. And the food is almost always delightful. Since Meelo's is in our neighborhood,... More

I lived in Italy for part of college and fell in love with the country, the exuberance, and the food. Meelo's gave me a flashback and a determination to go back with my family. The chef is very engaging and when we asked about a special, pulled up a chair and joined us for a while. He also seemed to... More

I wanted a quiet meal near my hotel, and decided to try Meelo's. A cozy atmosphere with excellent service. My vegetarian choice was very tasty, and I was made to feel comfortable though I was a solo diner. I was not happy with the wine I'd ordered, but was glad I told the waiter. He suggested an alternative and brought... More
