Melt

Upscale ambiance and an ingredient-driven Italian menu set a sophisticated stage for both day and night.

Taste your way through a classic Italy remixed with contemporary flourishes. Begin with amped-up appetizers like the Bufala – buffalo milk mozzarella and balsamic strawberries—to self-selected samples of Italian-imported cured meats and cheeses, or skip straight to the big plates. Specialty pizzas like the Affumicata – tomato compote, smoked bacon, baby artichokes, and smoked mozzarella – and hearty bowls like Penne Boscaiola – diced chicken, wild mushrooms, zucchini, sage and cream – offer a variety of vantage points to modern Italian cuisine. With a weekly rotating prix-fixe menu and weekday happy hour, there have never been more ways to experience Melt.

If Pizzaiola di Vitello looks like a mouthful on the menu, wait until you see it on the plate. It begins with a thick veal chop pounded to tender perfection. Seasoned in homemade breadcrumbs and pan-roasted, it comes to rest in a bed of tomato sauce that’s zipped up with orange juice and topped with parmesan and Grande mozzarella.
