    We absolutely loved this place. Great authentic Italian food and a fun, cozy, eclectic atmosphere to dine in.

    Service was good, my pasta was extremely oily you could mop up the oil with a napkin. Another in our party hot lasagna and mid way through the meal he tasted something chalky and looked at the dish and it has completely broken in 2. They never even discounted his meal, not good as far, also their prices have gone up quite a bit.

    The food was good, there is one older lady who is extremely rude. But, noticed not to everyone. She picks and chooses who she's rude to. She tries to push you out as soon as she sees your plate is almost empty. Even if there's food still on it, I wonder if she knows how nasty and unbecoming it is to act that way as though she's doing us a favor. Please, I'll take my money elsewhere next time. We were a small party but paid a hefty tab. I came for the food but, left knowing that no matter the food treating people with respect and kindness is more important to me. These people should be ashamed of the way the act towards certain clients. The other reviews that are here back up my claims. These great food and also good service elsewhere not worth it.

    Lunch or dinner or takeout—this place is the best!! All dishes have been special and the pizza is the best I ever had. Small personal staff and deserts to die for. A little north of Tubac main gate (by the post office): charming, relaxed, and priceless. Love it.

    We’ll run family trattoria. Hands on by owner’s limited but excellent wine list all homemade pastas. Service attentive. Prices very fair. Only negative is paper napkins. A must visit in Tubac. Better than others. Don’t be put off by location just outside of town. Melinda knows what she’s doing.

    Not worth the drive or the wait. Did they run out of canned goods? Tired of restaurants explaining their bad product on “authentic” recipe. If it isn’t good, it authentically isn’t good. Pet peeve: staff huddled together while customers wait for service: water refills, beverage orders, clearing tables, look around and find something to do.

    My husband is from Naples and is very critical of "Americanized" Italian cuisine. But he had nothing but high praise for the food at Melios

  • 5/5 Richard S. 2 years ago on Google
    We had pizza. Thin crispy crust topped with large chunks of sausage and thinly sliced fresh mushrooms. The best pizza we've ever had! We won't go anywhere else for pizza!

    One of the best Italian restaurants in town! The food was amazing! Packed with flavor and the prices were decent. The service can use some improvements but with it being COVID world I am not looking too much into it

    My wife and I would go about once a tear before the pandemic. This is our 1st time back. It is even better! The food and wine is incredible!

    Wonderful restaurant! The staff is very nice, great service and the food is excellent. I'll be going back again and again.

    Great atmosphere. Food is good but not worth what they charge. You get no salad with entree and only small flavorless bread w/ balsamic & olive oil .

    Came for our 23rd Wedding Anniversary & oh my goodness was it the PERFECT choice. Adorable place with cool charm, staff was so fun & friendly with such a warm atmosphere. The menu...Whoa & the dessert... Heavenly!!! Highly recommend you give it a try!!

    Very good Italian food! Love the decor. The only thing that really needs improvement is the service. As in Italy, don’t be in a hurry, just relax enjoy some great wine and the magnificent view! 🍷

    Excellent food. Language is a slight issue. Servers speak very little English. Food quality is outstanding. Portion sizes are very nice. All the homemade deserts were fantastic. Sampled, cheese cake, Tiramasu, and the double chocolate ice cream. All excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Someone recommended this place, so we went. It is my 1st time to visit Tubac, so I'm excited to explore places. I am disappointed because the people don't seem friendly. I understand we didn't have reservation, but you want the 1st timers to have good experience so they can recommend your place to their friends and other people. We arrived, and they put us right to the end of the restaurant. In the corner. We felt excluded.

😠 Refused service becuase my co workers and I were in uniform. We are local military recruiters for the area. After work we decided to eat there for them to tell us they would not serve us while in uniform. In my 16 years of wearing this uniform this is the first time I have ever been refused service...

👍👍 Great, simple and friendly place with great outdoor seating. Portions are perfect to share if needed. French toast were on point but then again so was the omelet and bacon. Everything we tried was solid.
