Once again, I had the pleasure of dining at La Mela with my friends, and it didn’t disappoint. The food was incredibly fresh, with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. The staff, as always, were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home.
La Mela is consistently a favorite, and it’s clear why—it’s a place where great food meets exceptional service. Wishing everyone at La Mela a Happy Christmas!
Highly recommend the pistachio cannolis as well — best I’ve had in London!
Staff went above and beyond with their service. So pleased with our meal.
Quality of the food was great; wasn't sure whether to get the full English or not but went with their recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Not too far from where we live so will definitely be coming back again.
Bonus points for homemade beans in a tomato sauce.
