Our outdoor dining is all set up! It's airy and comfortable and ready for you and your fam to swing by. Maybe for some drinks before the game or maybe for some drinks after the game. Maybe for some drinks DURING the game? Listen...you get the point. Come on by. Like for real!

Did someone say LUNCH SPECIAL??? Yup. Come through for a Chicken Francese or Eggplant Parm or maybe a little Shrimp Speziata with Pasta (our newest lunch ONLY found at lunch!). Come on...you know your hungry. Book your table now on Open Table or just show up and tell them "Nat sent me" and they will see what we can do!

I'd like to lie to you and say "Look, you'll see the original La Mela on the left side of the picture" but we all know we are ONLY 40 years young. BUT!!! Can you guess which block this is (hint...it's Mulberry) but WHERE on Mulberry. Is it A. Between Canal and Hester. B. Between Hester and Grand or C. Between Grand and Broome. GUESS!!!! I'll reveal the answer in 48 hours. OH Yah, can come though this weekend! We'll be there and we have your table ready. (PS The building that is the bright on on the right side is still wonderfully standing and should be your landmark to help you make the correct guess!)

Current Obsession!!! The fried zucchini! Have you tried it yet? WHAT THE HECK? When was the last time you were here? Do you even know we have NEW menu items?? Come on now, I thought we were friends? Stop! You call yourself "a friend" when you missed our birthday, anniversary and the big promotion? We aren't "upset" we are "disappointed". We will let it all slide if you just come through this weekend. We'll get your table ready...as long as you call us or book it on open table! See you this weekend!

It is a BEAUTIFUL day here on Mulberry Street! A bit nippy, but you can handle it. Come warm up with a nice Chianti and a bowl of fresh fettuccine alfredo (throw in some shrimp or grilled chicken if you are feeling frisky!). See you at La Mela 167 Mulberry between Grand and Broome!

Woke up to a car meet like none I’ve seen before. The car owners gathered in front of La Mela and shot the $hit with each other for hours. You should have been there!! See. This is the type of stuff you miss when you don’t come by enough.

Pop up car meet in front of La Mela today! What a great way to start a Sunday. Come join us for lunch or dinner…even take home some extra for tomorrow. And yes, we sell just our sauce to go too which travels and reheats great.

Only at La Mela 🍝🍷
Come for a drink.
Stay for the Eggplant Parm (have you had it?! It’s sliced paper thin and layered to perfection).
Leave with the merch everyone’s going to ask you about.
We’re celebrating 40 delicious years with limited-edition anniversary tees — and they’re only available in the restaurant. Once they’re gone… they’re gone.
So make a night of it: cocktails, parm, pasta, and a little piece of La Mela history.
✨ Book your table today on OpenTable and grab your 40th anniversary shirt while supplies last.

That cheese pull says it all. 🍗🧀
Our legendary Chicken Parm is crispy, saucy, melty perfection — and yes, it tastes even better than it looks. Pair it with one of our handcrafted cocktails and you’ve got the kind of night that turns into a tradition.
At La Mela, we’re serving up classic Italian comfort with serious flavor (and serious pours) every single day.
✨ Don’t just stare at it — come experience it.
Reserve your table now on OpenTable and we’ll have the parm waiting.

Fresh new vibe to kick off your week right.
No more Monday blues — just pasta, pours, and a beautiful space waiting for you.
✨ Come take a look and taste for yourself.

Shhhhh...don't tell anyone but we have secret menu items. For example, this is Steak Contedina. Fresh New York Strip Steak with slow roasted red peppers, sweet italian sausage, chuncks of roasted chicken, perfectly cooked in garlic with fresh parsley. You won't see it on the menu, but if you ask, we got your back (and belly). Looking for something your grandma used to make? Ask for Benny or Paulie, tell them what you're looking for and let's see if we can make it happen for you. Our chefs have 30 PLUS years cookin in OUR kitchen. We are good people here at La Mela and our staff will happily agree!

Now THIS is a superbowl! Of course we will have the game on for you this weekend. Make your reservations on Open Table ASAP since we are almost sold out! Come watch the game, eat some shrimp, drink to much wine and just have some fun for a change. You deserve it!

When was the last time you visited? We are getting worried about you. You met that new (man/woman) who always wants to go to that (mexican/greek/chinese) restaurant that they love and you just go... like we don't even exist. When do YOU get to choose date night? Why don't you finally tell them the truth, that you are in love with our Chicken Parm...... oh is that is? You don't want (him/her) to meet your other NYC restaurant family and find out about the real love of your (food) life? Seriously, after all these years. Ugh. Fine! We love you anyway, but come by for a visit soon. We miss your face.
