Returning home from a family vacation in the Aosta Valley, I took my time driving along the main road, passing through mountain villages before taking the return road. Once I reached MONFERRATO, I detoured a few kilometers and arrived in TERRUGGIA.
A small village south of Monferrato, where I found MELOGRANO, a PET-FRIENDLY restaurant 🐶💚, serving classic local dishes as well as delicious vegetarian and vegan options... 😋
A warm, family-friendly atmosphere, with fast and punctual service.
The entire staff is polite, kind, and very empathetic... which is rare these days... 😉
They'll even delight you with tastings, before and during your meal... 😊
So if you're passing through MONFERRATO... Il Melograno, in my opinion, is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED stop... for those like me who have a 🐶 that isn't just ACCEPTED... but is WELCOME here... ☺️
To conclude, the PRICES are VERY FAIR for dishes made with excellent ingredients and attention to every detail... 👌🏻
So, BON APPETIT to everyone, and to me... until next time... 😌

I deduct 1 star immediately if a place serves baby animals, let be start with that.
Service was lovely, every one we spoke to took their absolute time to explain us the menu and they thought with us about vegan options. The chef took a vegan course somewhere at some point and is very interested in vegan cuisine. Unfortunately this didn't really shine through too much. My main course, gnocchi with vegetables lacked flavour and the gnocchi fell apart a bit. My dinner parnters enjoyed their dishes and wines a lot, the rabbit was cooked to perfection. The first course, fried artichoke was very nice. The plates looked stunning.
If my non-vegan dinner partners were giving this review it would have been a 5 star review, for sure.

The restaurant is beautiful inside. The place is very well-maintained. As a vegetarian, I had no problem choosing the dishes. The menu has everything—for vegans, vegetarians, and even gluten-free options. The selection is very wide. The service is very professional. The prices are normal.

We've had the pleasure of dining there several times over the years...every time we've been deeply satisfied with the food, the service, and the owners' exceptional helpfulness...it's a "magical" restaurant...

A well-deserved five stars for the service and quality of the food.
The staff are among the friendliest and most professional I've ever encountered, and they're very attentive to any food allergies.
If you're passing by, don't miss the agnolotti and veal with tuna sauce.
Highly recommended for anyone in the area!
