Melo Trattoria And Tapas - Durham

This restaurant serves delicious food, from their salads (particularly the berry spinach salad, which is my absolute favorite) to their dinner plates and tapas. The meatball tapas in particular remind me of my grandmother's meatballs. The staff is both friendly and professional, providing amazing service. I am eagerly looking forward to returning to this restaurant. I would give it 10 stars. Thank you for the great food and excellent service.

We can only visit this restaurant twice a year (on Valentine's Day and our anniversary) because we live an hour and 20 minutes away. However, no matter how much we spend or how casually we are dressed (currently in t-shirts, blue jeans, and ball caps), we are always treated like royalty! Curly and the staff are friendly and accommodating, always with a smile in their eyes (despite COVID precautions). Reservations are highly recommended as they typically do not accept same-day bookings. This restaurant is a hidden gem in the area, always bustling with satisfied customers enjoying great food and excellent service.

This restaurant offers fantastic food and excellent service. The atmosphere is laid back and the food is served quickly. We ordered two tapas; the lamb dogs were delicious and the mushrooms in cream and butter sauce were a delightful accompaniment. My husband had the lasagna and savored every bite. He was nearly full halfway through but couldn't resist finishing it because it was so tasty. This place is a hidden gem and definitely worth a stop for a satisfying meal.

Good food as usual, good atmosphere, the family will be back!

Had a great carry out meal from Melo. Chicken Parmesan and house salad. Great flavor, they included bread and the staff could not have done a better job. Great place for excellent food.
