Melt Restaurant Caprese

My Top Appetizer Picks

These are the top two standout appetizers that I feel showcase Melt's commitment to quality and flavor:

Calamari Fritti: A symphony of textures greets you with this dish. The calamari, encased in a delicate cornmeal crust, offers a satisfying crunch that gives way to tender, perfectly cooked squid. The lemon aioli provides a zesty counterpoint, while the fried basil adds an aromatic touch that elevates this classic appetizer to new heights.

Caprese: Melt's take on this Italian staple is a testament to the power of simplicity. Fresh, creamy mozzarella pairs beautifully with ripe beefsteak tomatoes, their flavors enhanced by fragrant basil and a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors that transports you straight to the Italian countryside.

Melt Restaurant Ravioli

My Top Main Course Picks

The main course selection at Melt is where the chef's expertise truly shines. Here are three dishes that left an indelible impression:

Ravioli di Formaggio: This dish is a cheese lover's dream come true. The ravioli, filled with a luxurious blend of five cheeses, swim in a vibrant tomato sauce that's both tangy and sweet. A dollop of basil pesto adds a fresh, herbal note, while shaved parmigiano crowns the dish with its nutty, salty finish. Each bite is a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Capesante: For seafood enthusiasts, the Capesante is a must-try. Succulent scallops, kissed by garlic herb butter, rest atop a bed of house-made orzo. The addition of fava beans and crispy pancetta provides a delightful contrast in textures. The parmigiano ties everything together, creating a dish that's both comforting and sophisticated.

Salmone: The grilled salmon at Melt is a masterclass in fish preparation. The perfectly cooked fillet, with its crispy skin and moist interior, is complemented by an array of accompaniments. Charred radicchio adds a pleasant bitterness, while asparagus provides a fresh, green crunch. The chickpeas offer a hearty element, and the white balsamic vidalia onion marmalade brings a sweet-tangy finish that elevates the entire dish.

No meal is complete without dessert, and Melt's Limone Ricotta Torta is the perfect ending to the culinary experience. This lemon ricotta pound cake is a study in contrasts – light yet indulgent, tart yet sweet. The cake is adorned with a luscious sweet white chocolate ricotta and crowned with macerated strawberries. Each forkful is a burst of bright, citrusy flavors balanced by creamy sweetness.

To complement your meal, Melt boasts an extensive selection of wines, cocktails, whiskeys, and scotch. Whether you're a wine connoisseur looking for the perfect pairing or a cocktail enthusiast seeking a creative libation, the beverage menu at Melt has something to satisfy every palate.
