We stumbled in and were so hungry while traveling! Everything we got was fantastic! From the salads to the entrees! I got the lemon chicken piccata. I would get it 100x over, it was fantastic. Even the side of spaghetti my kid got was great!

A table for two was available the moment we walked in. The staff was prompt and polite but never a bother. At 4:15 on a Saturday evening, we enjoyed the Italian Sausage and Peppers Pasta & the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Both meals were exquisite and the portions can be compared to something out of your grandma’s kitchen. Each plate brought its own depth and sent me into a sudden feeling of nostalgia as the soft sound of trumpets and the warm, classical setting complimented the raw beauty of my wife sitting across from me. If you’re looking to stop the clock for a moment while touching back on what matters, then go to Melini Cucina. The standard has been set for inexpensive Italian cuisine.

We went to Carter Caves and were looking for a nice restaurant for one meal. The reviews for this were great, then someone working at the caves highly recommended it.
We loved the food! Generous portions, original Italian sauce, great bread, good prices. The waitress was very nice. We were well greeted when we entered.

Decided to give this place another chance, and this time, we decided to dine in instead of doing takeout, which I am so glad we did!
The service was AMAZING, our waitress was AWESOME and the food was DELICIOUS!!!!
I wanted to try their Bruschetta, and OMG, IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!!
Then I ordered the 2 stuffed shells over marinara with no spaghetti. Loved it!!!!
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Relaxed atmosphere with knowledgeable and helpful waitstaff. Plentiful menu selection with a decent children’s menu that my children had trouble deciding on because they stated it all looked good. We started with appetizers including fried calamari and caprese salad. The calamari were delicious…a good mix of rings with tentacles that were lightly battered and fried golden brown. The caprese salad was good but the tomatoes are out of season at this time so slightly mealy. My wife loved her veal piccata with capers. Baked ziti was exceptional as well. Two adult meals, a Cesar salad, two higher priced appetizers (for this establishment), and three sodas came to $60. My family and I all agree that we enjoyed the restaraunt and look forward to sampling more of the menu. Oh, and their dessert menu looks good but we were too full to even think about it.

I drive 30+ minutes to eat here. I love the chicken ravioli and the ceasar salad. The portions are huge and the food is beyond delicious

The appetizers were great, but when served our entrees it was a huge letdown.
We ordered a Antipasto salad and a Chef salad, both came out lukewarm, and oddly presented.
The Antipasto salad had what seemed like previously frozen stir fry vegetables soaked in vinegar piled on top that gave the salad a very off-putting flavor.
The chef salad was fine besides it being slightly warm.

Excellent place to eat! Melini Cucina offers delicious food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality and flavor.

Ordered chicken alfredo with cheese ravioli and mushrooms added. Got No chicken, overcooked pasta, no flavor to the sauce, and burnt bread. Mushrooms were good but 3 for $3 is overpriced. Sweet tea was best part of the meal
