Amalfi Lounge is an independent Italian restaurant at 59 Endell Street in Covent Garden. The small, family run venue is spread over two floors and combines a relaxed dining room with warm evening lighting, making it well placed for dinner before or after a West End performance.
Pizza and pasta form the heart of the menu, drawing on the flavours and hospitality of the Amalfi Coast. Classic pizzas such as Margherita, Diavola, Quattro Stagioni and four cheese sit alongside lasagne, gnocchi and other familiar Italian dishes that suit both individual orders and sharing within a group.
Antipasti, Italian cured meats, focaccia and salads give diners several ways to start, while a pre-theatre menu helps customers plan a complete meal around show times. The straightforward range is especially useful for families and mixed groups looking for recognisable Italian cooking in central London.
Italian wine and Prosecco complement the food, and the downstairs function room can host private gatherings and occasional comedy evenings. Reservations are sensible because of the intimate scale, particularly at peak theatre times when Covent Garden and the surrounding streets are busiest.
