The menu is a tapestry of taste anchored by its signature pizzas. From the classic Pepperoni Pizza, adorned with a generous layer of cup and char pepperoni, to the exquisite Prosciutto and Fig Pizza, a harmonious blend of creamy goat cheese and fig jam, each offering is a testament to the culinary expertise of Merlino's kitchen.

For those inclined towards pasta, the selection is equally compelling. The Penne Alla Vodka, drenched in a creamy pink sauce, is a must-try—rich, smooth, and indulgent. Meanwhile, the classic Cacio E Pepe interlaces simplicity with depth, allowing the aged pecorino to shine alongside freshly ground black pepper.

Salads at Merlino's also deserve a spotlight: the Classic Caesar Salad with its velvety dressing, and the Spicy Greens Salad that offers a refreshing bite of arugula mixed with a zesty lemon vinaigrette.
