I like the Melini Cucina chain of restaurants. I have been to this one, and one in Ironton, Ohio. I love the Italian food, especially the spagehetti with meat sauce, a favoite meal of mine. It was spiced well, and pleased my palate! My wife and I like to go for birthdays or other special occasions, as a celebration. More

This is a very good restaurant and pleasant atmosphere. It's too bad the county is "dry" , thus no wine which would have made the place excellent. More

I was surprised at the quality of the food giving it’s location in a little Eastern Ky town. As far as I know it is the only, or one of the very few, non-fast food restaurants in Grayson. It has a nice atmosphere and the staff have always been friendly and prompt. I have eaten here several times over the... More

I wasn't encouraged when I pulled up to this restaurant and noticed that its sign misspelled the name of the place M-E-L-I-N-N-I. I've eaten at some of this small chain's other establishments in southeast Ohio and northeast Kentucky, so I decided to take a chance. I was glad I did. The menu features a large selection of Italian dishes, and... More

Used travel advisor to find this restaurant late Saturday night after a college football game-it was very good. The bread and marinara sauce they bring out was amazing. Chicken fettucinne and chicken Parmesan were great. Healthy portions and sauces on both were wonderful! Would recommend this stop if going through Grayson! More

So this small local chain restaurant serves amazing food. Three of us ate there last night and enjoyed everything. The Alfredo was light and not cloying. Marinara tasty. Pesto perfect. Entrees good sized. We had a multi chocolate dessert that was full of different textures. Strongly recommend their ravioli dish. The only downside of the meal was the lack of... More

Our waitress was delightful from hello. Homemade bread sticks with authentic marinara beat calamari to the table. I ordered Caesar and my friend bluecheese both homemade and excellent. Greens fresh my only complaint is the Caesar wasn't tossed for me. Calamari took as minute but we were forewarned that its made to order and slow. I don't know that it... More
