L' Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Soho brings the celebrated Neapolitan pizza tradition to 44 Old Compton Street in the heart of Soho. The restaurant extends over two floors, centred on a golden wood fired oven where pizzas are stretched, topped and baked in view of diners. Its animated dining room suits anything from a quick pizza to a longer evening with cocktails.
The pizza selection begins with restrained Neapolitan classics such as marinara and margherita, where dough, tomato and cheese remain the focus. Further choices add combinations of anchovy, capers, oregano, salami, mushrooms, sausage, friarielli and truffle. Calzone and fried pizza introduce different textures while retaining the generous proportions and direct flavours associated with the original Naples restaurant.
Antipasti and fried starters provide easy dishes for sharing before the main course. Pasta, salads and other Italian plates broaden the menu for diners who want an alternative to pizza, while vegetarian options are clearly represented. Tiramisu, cannoli and other traditional desserts bring coffee, cocoa, ricotta and pastry flavours to the end of the meal.
Drinks are an important part of the Soho setting, with classic and house cocktails served alongside Italian wine, beer and soft drinks. The Black Cocktail Bar is on the ground floor, while the Red Cocktail Bar sits upstairs and the Green Room can host private events. Together, these spaces give the restaurant a social character that moves easily from lunch through to late evening dining.
