" I am a huge fan of Italian food and La Mela did not disappoint! The portion sizes are not only generous but the flavor is fantastic. The cannoli for dessert was absolute perfection! Such a charming restaurant with amazing staff. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you hear about authentic Italian cuisine in NYC, La Mela is often mentioned, and for good reason! The food was superb, especially the rigatoni and meatballs! Portions are quite generous, leaving you more than satisfied by the end of the meal. The vibe is exactly what you'd want from a Little Italy restaurant—bustling and full of life. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent food, very generous portions, and a cozy atmosphere! I highly recommend the baked clams as an appetizer; they were bursting with flavor. Our server was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. Already planning my next visit to La Mela! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place blew my mind! The Chicken Parmigiana was the best I've ever tasted, and the ambiance reminded me of my trips to Italy. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making the entire dining experience feel special. The portions were enormous, we had to take some home! Can't wait to come back for more delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up loving La Mela. The meatballs and spaghetti were spot on! The service was quick and friendly. It's busy on the weekends, which is a good sign! Generous portions, too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to folks looking for good Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had to try this place after hearing all the hype and it really lived up to my expectations. The food was not only delicious but also felt authentic. The chicken milanese was divine, and the portions were enough to feed two! If you're in NYC, definitely stop by La Mela for an unforgettable meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’d give La Mela a solid 4.5! The garlic bread was fantastic – very fresh! The lasagna was rich and full of flavor. Portions were generous, just as promised. Although the service was a bit slower initially, they made up for it by being super attentive once the rush died down. Overall, a great experience, and I will return! " (*Curated Review*)
