Huge shoutout to The Station Grille in lowellville. One restaurant I've wanted to go to for a while now and finally went and let me say, ABSOLUTELY make it a date night destination!! The food is outstanding, as good or better than any place we have had in Clevelands little Italy. Italian greens are by far some of the best we've had. The ambiance is incredible, it's decor is a mix of modern art with the vibes of being in a 1920s train station. The actual bar was imported from Italy 100 years ago! Original Marbel tile floors and all. This will for sure be one of our top date night destinations, and hopefully, others venture out and make it theirs as well.

We loved our experience at Station Grille at Melillos. Ray (one of the owners) kept coming over to our table and chatting with us. He really made us feel like we were welcome there. Our waitress was very kind. The food was excellent! The decor was great. We liked the clock wall and unique light fixtures. The chicken salad and chicken parm were great! I’ll be visiting again in the future.

We dined here last night. We both had the southern fried chicken, and it was terrific. Very flavorful, and loved the crust. We also had a beet salad. Large enough for two. A really great salad: plenty of sliced beets with the greens topped with toasted pecans. Homemade dressing and topped with balls of deep fried goat cheese. Excellent!

Melillos is back under new ownership. Good news is they kept their Chef and refinished/ refreshed the interior. The Service was excellent. We had Riley serving us and she told us it was her 4 th day and we were her first large table. She did a fantastic job and maintained a friendly and professional approach. Management is lucky to have a server of that quality. Our table was visited by the kitchen management, the service manager and the new owner. All around it was a great dining experience and we are looking forward to our next visit. We missed it while it was closed and we weren't disappointed with the many positive improvements.

First time visiting here and it was such a great experience. Service started out slow but we understood due to how busy they were. The food was amazing. Chef Johnny is amazing!! As for an another reviewer stating the food is comparable to diner food. I disagree. This is beyond dinner food and that person obviously does not know the difference between diner food and exquisite food. I loved how the chef came out and talked with us to make sure everything was to our liking. He went over and beyond to make our experience very delightful.

First time patrons, service was great, food was delicious (huge portions- my dad joked the chicken parm should be a family meal.) Owner very friendly and gave both of my daughters free desserts. Looking forward to visiting again !
