Il Melograno: a slice of Italy where time stops

If you love Italy, this restaurant in Vienna will surprise you!

Il Melograno restaurant is located in the heart of Vienna and is a true gastronomic gem, embodying the authentic spirit of Italian cuisine.

Roberto D’Atri, the restaurant’s founder, meets with guests

The name of the restaurant translates as “pomegranate” – a symbol of health and strength, which perfectly reflects its philosophy: quality, naturalness and taste at the highest level.

Family traditions that are amazing

The story of Il Melograno has its origins in a small village in Puglia, where the family of owners passed down culinary secrets from generation to generation.

Il Melograno’s cuisine impresses with its attention to detail: only natural ingredients are used here.

The specialty of the restaurant is serving, for example, the unique serving of risotto in a cheese wheel looks like this:

First of all, a large cheese wheel is brought to the table. It is specially heated so that the cheese inside becomes soft and stretchy, ready to be mixed with risotto or pasta.

Next, hot risotto or pasta is placed in the middle of the wheel right in front of the guest. Due to the heat, the cheese begins to dissolve even more, creating a delicate texture.

Next, the risotto or pasta is thoroughly mixed with the melted cheese so that each piece absorbs the flavor and aroma. This process takes place directly in front of the guest.

As a result, the finished dish is transferred to a plate, maintaining the perfect consistency. The dish is immediately ready for tasting.

It’s a true culinary ritual that makes for an incredible experience.

All fish dishes are created from fresh wild fish caught in the natural environment, and the meat is carefully selected from the world’s best suppliers.
