Melrose Bistrot In Massa lubrense

We stopped by for dinner, and was there a little too early, as they were just opening and setting up. We were welcomed kindly and walked around back by Pasquale (our server) to their pool and bar, and was invited to have a drink while we waited for them to finish opening. The bar was amazing, the bartender is one of the best mixologists I have ever encounter. His drinks were unique and delicious. For dinner we sat on the terrace watching the sunset and was catered to, hand and foot by Pasquale. He was engaging and kind. Honestly one of the best experiences we had during our 2 weeks in Italy!

GO HERE RIGHT NOW. This place was right next to our hotel but its right on the transportation bus stop. When I say this place is exceptional, it is. My husband and I love local places off the map is this service, food, atmosphere was exceptional. Its outside of the city with beautiful sunset views, they have a pool FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE, a cocktail bar for the pool and restaurant with the most unique, beautifully crafted cocktails (and I am a bartender). The bartender KNOWS his craft. Don't order a drink, have him make you something based off your liquor choice because he never steered me wrong. They grow their own herbs outside the restaurant and create their own olive oil/lemonchello on the grounds. Pasquale was an incredible waiter who takes hospitality as an art. He was kind, professional, attentive-- and we truly felt like we were friends by the time dinner ended. He was so kind, that he even cut up my fish for me knowing that I was a little hesitant to see a "whole" fish on a plate. The food was great. This place deserves upgraded new reviews because whatever old reviews are posted-- are NOT what this place is now. This needs to be a viral location.

Wow!! I'm really, really impressed. I went there twice last week and it's a must if you're in the area!! The food tastes great, the price-performance ratio is perfect and the waiter was very accommodating. It was easy to have good conversations with him and he gave us lots of tips that really improved our stay. The view from the roof terrace is simply breathtaking. I'm really very satisfied. This food is cooked with a lot of love and you can taste it.
