Customer Reviews

My Family has been coming to this Amazing Restaurant since I was young!!! The second you walk in the door, it smells & feels like Home..only someone else does all the work! The service is impeccable & the food is consistently awesome! The portions are Huge but the price is Not! The hours of operation are limited so it's a good idea to make reservations...They only take Cash or Checks (ATM NEXT DOOR) but these things help keep costs down & allow them to focus on what's important, Great Food at a Great Price & Amazing Service from a Friendly Staff!!! I Hope Melodyland Stays Open for Many More Years to Come!!!

So soon as we walked in it was magical the atmosphere reminded me of home. The hostess was kind and funny. Then we were sitting there looking around my gf goes to me there are old women working in the kitchen and we both go Its like Nonnas. It's a movie on Netflix if you haven't seen it watch it then go to this place. The food was amazing I had the homemade spaghetti and meatballs my gf had the chicken parm. The portions were huge and so worth it every bite just got better and better couldn't finish it all. We definitely will go back for date nights

Loved the food, service and atmosphere. Italian music playing on the speakers. Small establishment with basic seating (bring a cushion for the 6 booths) or sit at a table. Bar adjacent. We had homemade pasta with sauce & sausage plus a veggie pizza. Very nice prices for everything. Was recommended and we're glad we went!

If you're in Cortland, go here! Delicious, authentic homemade Italian food. Service is great and the food is amazing. Prices are beyond reasonable you almost feel bad you're not paying more!

You cannot go wrong with a locally-owned, authentic, "Mom & Pop" kind of Italian Restaurant like The Melodyland! Lisa and Maria are fantastic, and so is the food. You can't use a credit card there, but there is an ATM nearby if you need it. Reservations are highly recommended (don't wait until the last minute), because it is a small establishment, and very popular. Parking is also limited. But.....good eats!! Our favorites are the gnocchi, ravioli, and the ricotta pizza.
