Andrea Suarez

Best pasta I've had in London, amounts are small so order 2 mains. Beef ragu is a most.Had goat cheese ravioli with butter, amazing as well . Had the bread and oil, and almond tart for dessert.Loved it

Heather Rodriguez

This place is amazing. Excellent pasta dishes and excellent prices. I can go back here again and again.

Eleni Sardi

What's good here? Everything! The burrata was exquisite, the cacio e pepe pici were mouthwatering, as were all the other pastas we tried. Even the simple pear and almond tart for dessert was delicious

Fabian Martin

If you want EXCELLENT pasta to ridiculously competitive prices served in mere minutes by incredibly friendly staff & watch the whole process of the pasta being made, come here. Pictured: cacio & nduja

Rosanne

Truly sensational pasta , I’ve never had anything like it. Friendly service , great burrata and wine . Make sure you’re in the queue before 5:30 PM to put your name down for a later time- worth the wait

Roberto Bua

Some of the best fresh pasta in London at incredible prices. Try to visit during the week as queues are more manageable and get a seat at the counter to see all the action. Perfect for a quick lunch .

Clara Eloy

Amazing. Delicious, fresh and super flavourful pasta , super cheap (for London) and the service was great!

Poling Cheung

The best here is the spinach ravioli , and when you bite into it it’s chewy w melted cheese . The almond tart is amazing, absolutely delicious! The Gnocchi is great too! The chocolate tart is very rich.

Mimie

As much as I love the Pappardelle Beef Shin Ragu..the Spinach Ravioli takes it! Could’ve had three portions easily. The half an hour queue was worth it.

Amber

Awesome prices for awesome pasta ! No reservations so there's always a line , but it seems to move quickly. Not a bad thing on the menu, sit at the counter to see everything made in front of you :)

The Taste Sheriff

Shockingly good. The caccio pepe & the braised beef are insanely good. Those who say it’s subpar should tell us where they get their past so we can go too! Prices are very fair ~£7 per pasta . A MUST!

Serdar Paktin

Very nice pasta and buratta . I had the cafe borghetti on the rocks after meal. Highly recommended, but there’s always a queue at the door. Be prepared to wait a little.

Chris Evans

The pasta was delicious! Overall it was all very overpriced and the portions are small. Waited in a long queue. The drinks are only served in small quantities. The olives are the best I have tasted!

Natalia Gryntaki

The Bean Bruschetta was incredible... The Spinach Ravioli delicious and the Pappardelle w/ Beef Shin Ragù amazing. One of the best meals we had in London!

Miso

Eat the menu, everything is awesome!The bounciest yummiest fresh pasta dishes served on casual white plates. Sit at the bar if dining alone or even with friends. Favourite pasta place in London.

Valentina Ciolino

Very good food, prices are small but so are the portions. Tries the Pici cacio e pepe and wasn't disappointed. The staff was great, they accomodated me and friend with a pram!

Lidia Vorontsova

Amazing pasta , easily the best I’ve had in London. For two I would recommend two starters and three pasta dishes to share. Fettuccine with nduja - out of this world delicious.

Mor Tom

Pasta is delicious. I also had carpaccio as a starter which was perfect. Meat was cut not so thinly, but that made it juicy. Only downside - waiting in queue for over half an hour in the rain.

Lauren Keith

Yes, you'll have to queue, but this is London's best pasta . You must order the pici cacio e pepe . Portions are small and borderline overpriced, but they're the best you'll get this side of Rome.

Iwona Rokowska

Amazing food, Pici cacio e pepe and ravioli were the best I’ve ever had. Also starters were great! Will definitely come back

Kevin Dulin

Delicious and well worth the wait. I loved the fettuccine with nduja.

Daren Williams

Go for the high end pasta - pici was the pick, ragu tasty and nduja too spicy . But highlight was the dessert - almond tart was incredible and chocolate tart and salted caramel ice cream not far behind

Alex Brooks

A fantastic edition to London's Italian scene. Beef shin ragu lives up to the hype, but the burrata also worth a mention. Gets very busy, and portions traditionally small so stock up on plates.

Viv

Enjoyed the pici cacio e pepe (thick hand-rolled pasta ) dish the most- ordered the pappardelle beef ragu and smoked eel fettuccine as well

Athina Loveland

The Pici is so amazing! I could eat it every night! Definitely give it a try! Portions are small but prices are cheap so you can try a couple dishes if you’re hungry!

Yoonie S

Skip starters and order 2 mains each as they're very small! Get a seat at the bar - best seats in the house!

Levent Akgerman

It is like a tapas/deli counter with Great pasta , such as papardelle with ventricina, duck mezzaluna with sage butter and spanish ravioli with ricotta .

Buket A.

Super delicious pasta with a high level of quality ???? be careful while ordering bcs the waiter was speaking w a strong ltalian ask and saying tous “egg york” which we misunderstood as “yoghurt ” ++

Shirley Lau

We tried 5 pasta dishes - Pici and ravioli were my favorite! We came on a Wednesday at 5:20 and there was already a line which moved pretty fast and we were seated in 30 min.

Neli Parchik

The pasta is amazing! Definitely save some room for dessert - the Fig & Almond Tart is to die for!

Oliver Waters

Excellent pasta dishes. Everything we tried was excellent. Whatever the special is give it a go! There’s always a long queue out the door so be prepared to wait.

Lucia Lu

The waiting list system at Padella is super efficient - there are lots of bars around to kill the waiting time. The pasta of the smoked eel option was super light! Loved it ♥️

Julia Sandler

Get there before 6pm and you should only wait 1-1.5 hours in total (head to a pub whilst you wait!) Absolutely worth it. So much flavour in such beautiful, simple pasta dishes!

Muratti C

Best pasta I’ve ever eaten outside Italy. Cacio e peppe is really fantastic. It’s definitely worth the long wait .

Angela Liu

All about handmade pasta - everything was amazing! Portion is quite small so order more to share with friends

JESSICA

You can join the line up using the Walk-in app. Saves you from physically having to so. Must order the beef ragu !

Des Leo

very nice atmosphere, kind staff and the best quick lunch in between a stressful day at work in the area. must try the pics cacio e pepe and sage gnocchi

Frank Rimalovski

Amazing pasta in a tiny eat in the kitchen restaurant . Get the pappardelle and or gnocchi and you'll be very happy.

Yasmina Akhavan

Very good Cacio Pepe, and another one with pesto was great too. Best pasta I’ve had in London so far.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Top notch noshing . Get several plates and share, it's the done thing. Aperol Spritz is done really well .

Ozone Vibe

So popular, there's often a short wait to get it.But the wait is fully justified!Great food at sensible prices .Only downside, the popularity and queue make you "feel" a bit rushed.

Cheryl Ye

Hate the 1.5hr wait, love the pasta with clams . Ask for some chili flakes to go along with it - pure carby perfection ????

Cristián Sepúlveda

Fresh pasta ! Totally worth the wait, but try to avoid the crowds by going after 14:30 at lunchtime

Jaime T G

The Cacio e Pepe pasta is delicious , also the one with Gorgonzola . Fabulous for a quick inexpensive meal!!!

Fabien Butazzi

Wow. Pappardelle with 8-hour Dexter beef shin ragu are out of this world. And they have Pici as well !

Dimitra Nikoloudaki

Everything is amazingly delicious from the starters to the mains to the desserts ! The buratta and the beef ragu are not to be missed!!!

Shannon Low

Delicious handmade pasta . Beef shin ragu and smoked eel pastas recommended. Great burrata . Good Merlot on tap . All reasonably priced.

Martin Marmorstein

Huge hype surrounding this pasta joint, but definitely worth queuing.

Jon Bills

Very good pasta . Be prepared to wait, we had to wait for 2 hours for a table on a Wednesday night. Thankfully they take your number and text you when the table is ready.

Anna Szypkowska

Amazing home made pasta ! We had asparagus and burrata to start with, and then beef and pepe pasta , everything was delicious!
