• Great food, perfectly cooked!
• Plastic grapes on the table.

“Melio's is about as close as you can get to authentic Italian food made as they do in Italy. Whenever I visit family in Green Valley, Melio's is a must. The pasta is perfectly cooked and lacks the heavy, soupy sauces served in so many American/Italian restaurants. The veal is pounded thin and tender - as it should be. Even the simple sides of potato and spinach are perfectly cooked. I'm still salivating! The view can't be beat. The sun shines on the mountains spread out clearly in front of you.”

• Nothing positive.
• Very rude people, poor service, absolutely awful food and an uncomfortable atmosphere.

“We arrived for our reservation and informed the owner/hostess that we were here, and she stated that we were 10 minutes early. I ordered an Extra Dry Bombay Gibson, Up (martini with a cocktail onion instead of an olive). Our waitress brought a regular martini and I explained the difference and she returned it to the bar which was only 15 ft away. Instead of remaking the drink that now had a different flavor; the bartender simply held his fingers over the drink and asked if I would like him to remove the olive. Realizing at that point, his ignorance, I let it pass and just had him ad the onion. Not the end of the world but defiantly not professional. Our guests arrived and we ordered appetizers and wine. Shortly after that we ordered our dinner. Our dinner came untimely early while we were still eating our appetizers and delivered by a busboy, which stood at the end of the table interrupting our conversation by calling out who has the two veal Marsellas. We all agreed that both the food and the service was very poor and compounded by a lack of caring. However, the events that followed brought total disaster to our dinning experience at the Melios Trattoria.”

Old Tubac Restaurant & Saloon
Nov 4, 2007 by Terry from Green Valley, AZ

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Excellent special menu items, large and tasty marguerites.
• The bar area is a little loud, but people are having a good time.

“On weekends this is the well-kept secret in southern Arizona. The food is exceptional along with a very friendly chef and staff. Chef Arturo appears Friday thru Sunday to present his personalized specials which change every few weeks. We found the Chicken Parmesian, roast pork and his gumbo to be fantastic. The atmosphere is very casual and southwestern, and the restaurant is located right at the entrance to the Tubac shopping area. Most dinner entrees are in the $9 to $15 range. Sit near the kitchen to get personal attention from chef Arturo.”

• Clean restroom.

“This restaurant is the same as the DE Anza Restaurant and Cantina. Do not eat here. The food is terrible and the prices are outrageous for what you get. They practice ripping people off. When we got our bill we were charged 32.oo for a water size pitcher of margaritas! Who ever heard of such a thing? Do not eat here. It is not family friendly. If you share a plate with your 4 year old they will charge you 2.00 extra.”

• The restaurant has nice artwork hanging on the walls.
• See above comments because this restaurant practices price gouging at its best.

“This restaurant is pathetic. I paid 9.95 for a spoonful of rice and beans and two hard shelled chicken tacos stuffed full of shredded lettuce and canned salsa. Also, the restaurant will nickel and dime you for everything. I have never been to a Mexican restaurant that charges for chips and salsa. It is also in any customers best interest to be aware that they Price gouge for their margaritas and margarita pitchers. The price is not on the menu. We got our bill and we were charged 32.00 for a regular size pitcher of margarita! You could not taste the alcohol. When I complained to the owner/manager he was very rude and did not offer any solutions to the terrible meal and service we received.”
