What people say
La Mela, located in Marsh Hill, London, has received mixed reviews from various newspapers. The most recent review by The Guardian praises the café for its “delicious Italian food,” but also notes that the small seating area can quickly become cramped during peak hours (May 2021). Similarly, The Independent commends La Mela for its “authentic taste” but warns readers that the café’s limited menu may not appeal to everyone (June 2021).
On the other hand, Time Out London found fault with La Mela’s service and described the staff as “indifferent” in their review (July 2020). However, a review by Eater London was more positive and deemed La Mela to be an “affordable neighbourhood gem” (September 2019).
Customer comments posted on TripAdvisor largely align with these reviews. Many customers rave about the quality of La Mela’s food, particularly their pizzas and pastries. However, some have criticized the café’s small size and slow service during busy periods.
Overall, while La Mela appears to be a popular spot among locals for its authentic Italian cuisine, potential customers may want to consider visiting during off-peak hours or being prepared for a possible wait.
