Our stay at Meloneras definitly became better by discovering the italian restaurante Pastagramma! With the view upon the beach, and modern atmosphere we can really recomend this restaurante. The nice and professional staff by Alberto and Pablo in action, gave us many fantastic moments. The food is magnificent, and so is the vine. Many thanks to you all, the chef... More

Dear Christine and Trond Edvert, your presence at our restaurant has been a real Sunbeam. In Norwegian it says ‘SOLSTRÅLEBOKEN’ which is the title of the best-selling Trond’s book on motivations and positive thinking. Alberto thanks very much for the book with dedication, even though he doesn’t speak Norwegian! Of course, we thank you so much for the wonderful review:... More

Party of 5 with two small kids recently dined at Pastagramma. First off, our waiter and the staff in general extremely friendly and capable. Made for a nice visit. The restaurant is located in a bit of a dead spot, inside an abandoned mall, but with a direct view of the Atlantic ocean. For our evening meal we had a... More

Dear ‘Gaetano S’, as they say in Italy: ‘grazie mille’ (thanks a lot)! Your observations are drawn up with great care and precision. My wife and I are always attentive to criticism like yours: reasoned and constructive.

This is a very good Italian restaurant. Not only does it have the usual pastas and pizza but it also has more cutting edge items like 'prawns of five emotions'. I don't know if this particular dish works. I will have to go back and try it again but I must give the owners full marks for being so adventurous... More

Dear ‘Carrigaholt’ , your words are welcome! We are trying this adventure, even if we’re a little bit discouraged (we are reviewing prices and Menu maintaining the same quality) But… People go where the people go… and our location is not easy to find, as you so kindly explained in your review! Thank you very much indeed for your encouragment!... More

We had a very nice three course lunch here with delicious pasta. It was so good we considered coming back for dinner the same night. Pastagramma is probably the best Italian restaurant on the island.

Dear ‘_190479’, a ‘good word of mouth’ is our hope too! In fact the ‘dead mall’ is still dead… Tripadvisor reviews are our principle way of communication. For this reason, we are beholden to all those who write a review (even if it’s disapproval), but we are particulary beholden to you and to those who write a very positive review!... More

The pasta at this place was quite average, maybe a bit bland. The location in the almost deserted shopping center at Meloneras meant a nice view, but not the best atmosphere. The service however was exellent and attentive. A decent meal, but nothing to go out of your way for.

We had an early dinner here with my wife and 2 children aged 8 and 11. We have done our fair share of travelling and dining as well as our children eat a variety of foods so keep this in mind when you read this. The view is beautiful.

I was at Pastagramma this February and I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was perfect, great view, the service was good and the food was the real Italian food!

Hello 'wakareva'! We too are ‘picky’ Italians, but we are Adults not Guys (unfortunately…). Thank you for the wonderful review. We often try to give a personal touch to the classic Italian recipes: the merighe with chocolate cream and amaretto is an example. We let other dishes according to the tradition, because it would be a shame to change them... More

Enjoyable experience! Friendly atmosphere, good service and the view is so relaxing.. A very good Italian restaurant, indeed. They put the fresh touch in traditional dishes.

Beautiful setting, zero atmosphere, food average. You could feel that the restaurant were cutting costs from the quantities to the heating. When I requested another gas heater at our table I was told they had no gas. They did have a nice cake for a special occasion, and they genuinely tried but unfortunately I don't blame them as I think... More

Dear Everitro, thanks for the criticism that is undoubtedly constructive! Initially we put the prawns whole, as some customers remember. Then, to accomodate the difficulties that customers had to roll with a fork tagliatelle and prawns, we decided to cut the prawns... Foreigners often have difficulty handling a fork. Since yours is the second negative criticism, we decided to restore... More
