Melillo's

We went to Melillo's this weekend with our 3 year old son. He is very active to say the least. The place was packed and we couldn't have been happier! During our wait our son was entertained by the hostess (we later found out she is the niece of the owner). Once we got our table the "family welcome" feeling continued.
Ashley was our waitress and a doll, assuring us that they love "families". The food was excellent and the company fabulous. We ended up talking with Ashley about her new baby (and what was coming her way) while her cousin (the hostess) took Ian to help put new table clothes on.
My only regret for the whole evening was that I didn't get the "Hostess" name so, I could mention her by name!!! We loved the laid back atmosphere and ALL the great food----coming from fellow Italian's, 1/2 Francolini, that's a compliment!!!
We were obviously there late when things had settled down some. It is hard to find a place where you, as adults, can enjoy your dinner and take your children too. We can't wait to go back!!!

When were you there?

BTW, Whitney or Jackie was probably the hostess.

I have always loved Melillo's. I took a friend there last week before the theater, who had never heard of the place. As a NY/NJ transplant, she really loved the place and it reminded her of neighborhood places from back home. Now she's talking it up too!

This Paterson, NJ transplant agrees wholeheartedly [that means "wit ya awl da way, ya' know?"]

Melillo's is definitely one of my favaorite restaurants in Louisville. We take our 2 1/2 year old daughter with us and have always enjoyed excellent food and extremely friendly service. I should hopefully going back in the next couple of weeks, but it's hard for me to get there very often due to the near hour drive from our house. My favorites include the Alfredo chips, Fettuccini Michele, and the Milky Way Pie(cake). My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
