Melanie Italian Restaurant

Had a pre theatre dinner here as it's located very close to prince Edward Theatre Had starters of king prawns and calamari.

We felt really lucky to find a last minute table on a weekend night in the heart of Soho, so I can say at least we were inside and sitting down.

My friends and I visited Melanie Restaurant for a meal before going to the theatre. It was the perfect choice for a pre-theatre dinner. The staff was efficient and friendly, the food was tasty, the portions were generous, and the prices were affordable.

This is the perfect stop for a pre- or post- airport snack. Just look for the big donut on the roof. I like the maple-glazed cake donut with a vanilla iced coffee. Rain or shine, there is usually a line. Unfortunately, they have no indoor area or seating and no restroom, so you’ll be standing outside.

I have never had a better pizza than the Sofia Loren at this restaurant! The service was fast, the staff was friendly, and we devoured the whole pizza within minutes. The cozy atmosphere and beautiful lighting make this place a must-visit, but make sure to reserve a table in advance because it's always packed!

I was thrilled to secure a dinner reservation on December 30th. I definitely plan on returning to this restaurant often. From soup, cocktails, and appetizers to pasta, pizza, and desserts, everything was delicious! They even offer a wide variety of options for those with allergies, which is commendable. The tiramisu and tormented spaghetti pasta were must-try dishes. Despite being a small establishment, the Christmas decorations, including a Christmas tree and nativity scene, were beautifully done. It was a wonderful treat on a cold winter day!

Decent Food For Area. Now we all know that Soho and Covent Garden can be very much hit or miss when it comes to good honestly priced food and acceptable service I was in a rush before the start of a show and stumbled across this place mainly due to the poor choice in the vicinity. Melanie came up as a bit of a pleasant surprise, apart from the weird name for an Italian restaurant and the cheesy , tacky decor it does provide good tasty food with good service without all of the pretence of the area If your in the area and looking for some honest wholesome food you could do a lot worse than Melanie's just as long as you can see past the chintz Well done Melanie!

visited melanie for dinner with my friend when they look for a restaurant in soho. the specialities of the chef presented at the door have received our attention and we decided to go. for the main dish we had the salmon and spinat linguini the garnelen and courgette linguini in weinsoße. the courts arrived very fast. bad in taste, the garnels were only heated by frozen without taste. the dishes looked like pasta in a plate with ingredients that were added last minute. bad for an Italian restaurant and even more for cooking specialities. the house wine was okay. for dessert we had the cheesecake that is homemade, but not the best, too sweet, not the acid sweet...more

Avoid this place. The owner is rude and I can't even comment on the food because of the terrible service. A friend and I walked by this restaurant at 10:30 am and decided to give it a try since the menu looked good and the prices were reasonable. They were also showing a live match on TV. I ordered food and when my friend tried to order drinks, the waiter, who turned out to be the owner, snatched the menu from her hands before we could finish. Other guests at nearby tables were also shocked. When the owner returned, I told him we hadn't finished our order and he just said he would come back to take our drink orders. Both my friend and I explained that this was unacceptable service. Avoid at...
