I have two friend who for the past five years have always celebrated any special occasion by visiting Amalfi, with is pasta and pizza menu and rock bottom prices its easy to see why it appeals to students and people on a budget.

A very pleasant little restaurant its not necessarily a place I would take someone for an anniversary, but for a quick cheap mean in Soho its perfect. don’t expect ultra quick service with amazing tasting food, after all you get what you pay for but it is good quality for what your paying and the atmosphere is always buzzing.

The menu offers your Italia classics as well as a few old English choices such as a roast dinner with trimmings. A meal for two with drinks can be as little as 10 pounds, which is why this is a great little gem of a place in the middle of Soho.

Amalfi on Old Compton Street is a brilliant little Italian restaurant which provides good quality food and decent prices. Their pizza's a huge and they certainly don't skimp on their toppings.

Spread over two floors, with an outside area which is fine during the summer but only for masochists in Winter, it is a cozy little place with great service and, although it is very popular, especially with the pre-theatre crowds, there is usually no need to book.

The greatest thing about this restaurant is the downstairs dining area which spreads underneath the street and has many little chambers and seating areas perfect for group booking. With candles and good wine it is also a great place to take the person of your current dreams and the price won't bankrupt you so all in all it's a definate winner.

One of the best places for casual dining in Soho.
