Melt

“An evening at Melt is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece, beginning with the vibrant harmony of the Fresh Caprese—where sun-ripened tomatoes and pillowy mozzarella meet a sweet balsamic drizzle—and the rich, hearty Polpette di Melt meatballs served with toasted artisanal bread. The indulgence continues into the main course, featuring bucatini coated in a velvety carbonara accented by smoky applewood bacon, alongside silky linguine enveloped in an ultra-creamy, peppery cacio e pepe. Every exquisite bite is flawlessly elevated by a deep, velvety Merlot bursting with lush dark fruit and a crisp, refreshing Pinot Grigio with lively citrus undertones. 🍝🍷”

“We have celebrated several family birthdays at Melt always having a lovely experience, and delicious food. Personal birthday cakes brought by us, cut & served by staff with a fee- we knew that prior. However, this time, When the remaining portion of birthday cake was returned to us to take home, we realized that they only served us the top portion of the cake, which seemed odd, especially since this was a service we were charged additionally for. We will return, since the food & service was good, but keep in mind instructions for serving entire slices of cake will need to be provided.. I have added a photo.”

“Got to visit this great Italian Restaurant while on a college tour in Bethlehem Pa. I am an Italian American New Yorker so it is hard to satisfy when. It comes to Italian food. We visited here on Good Friday. The main reason we went here was there are many choices at An Italian place for Lent . Though Melt has a decent menu they did not plan any additional special for Lent. A little disappointing but whatever . Our meal was great . I had Ravioli with Lemon Pesto sauce. My wife had a nice shrimp pasta dish with Angel Hair and my son had the Spaghetti dish and had the meatballs on the side to eat left over on Saturday. The place is stunning inside . Beautiful modern design with nice seating. It is also great they have an elevator to take you to the higher levels.”

“Melt is an Italian-American restaurant located at the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley. It's open Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with later hours on Friday and Saturday until 10:00 PM, and Sunday until 8:30 PM. I've been to Melt before, so I went in with fairly neutral expectations, not expecting anything terrific, but not expecting it to be terrible either. My friend and I started with the calamari fritti. As I went to pick up my first bite, I noticed how light it felt, which made sense once I realized there was barely any calamari beneath all that breading. Next I had a bowl of their homemade pasta e fagioli. There wasn't much in it but it came out hot and had a nice, comforting flavor. For my main, I went with the garlic herb buttered scallops with house-made orzo, Parmigiano, fava beans, and pancetta, listed on the menu as capesante. It was so salty that by the third bite that's all I tasted. My friend went with the chicken Parmesan with house-made buttered pasta, listed on the menu as pizzaiola di pollo. Unfortunately, both the chicken and pasta were rubbery, and the tomato sauce lacked flavor. The entire dish came across as if it had been reheated. Our server was polite, but he never asked how the food was. Not once. My first visit was average, my second visit was awful, and well, there won't be a third. On a positive note, Melt is exceptional for Thanksgiving. I've gone the past three years, and the food and service were both top tier.”

“The food was excellent, and the flavors were very well balanced. I would recommend not ordering any sides, since the main dishes already come with generous accompaniments.”
