"Meant to be an excellent pasta restaurant "

"Padella, nestled at 6 Southwark Street near London’s Borough Market, has become a must-visit destination for pasta enthusiasts. Founded by Tim Siadatan and Jordan Freida—the duo behind Islington’s acclaimed Trullo—Padella offers a concise menu of eight seasonal pasta dishes, blending traditional Italian techniques with quality British produce.   The restaurant’s interior is minimalist and stylish, featuring an open kitchen where diners can watch chefs hand-roll fresh pasta. Seating is available at both tables and the kitchen counter, providing an intimate dining experience.   Padella’s menu includes standout dishes like pici cacio e pepe—a Tuscan pasta served with a simple yet flavorful cheese and pepper sauce—and pappardelle with an eight-hour Dexter beef shin ragù. These dishes have garnered praise for their authenticity and depth of flavor.   Despite its popularity and the absence of reservations, many patrons find the wait worthwhile, often queuing to savor the restaurant’s offerings. The combination of high-quality, freshly made pasta at reasonable prices has solidified Padella’s reputation as one of London’s premier pasta destinations. For those seeking a genuine Italian pasta experience in the heart of London, Padella delivers simplicity, quality, and flavor in every dish. "

@clairelgf1

"8.4/10. This was a great meal in London. Not to expensive at all. The restaurant has an open kitchen up top so you can sit down and watch the food be made right in front of you and that added to the atmosphere. I enjoyed it but if you're looking for a more intimate setting you may not. The food was all delicious, we got the anchovies to start, and I got the Ragu which was amazing. Right across from the shard as well"

"Recommandation from Eimantas. His favourite italian restaurant in London."

@charles_luanda

"Petit restaurant de pâtes fraîches qui fait des pici cacio e pepe qui titillent la perfection. Leurs parpadelle au ragu étaient excellentes aussi. Le tip : venir scanner le QR code à l’entrée du restaurant pour se mettre dans la file d’atteinte virtuelle et faire un tour au marché en attendant que ce soit notre tour. "

"This perennially popular little sister to Trullo is set in bustling Borough Market; take your place in the virtual queue and wander round the stalls. Hand-rolled pasta is the star of the show and the accompanying sauces are full of flavour. Sit at the kitchen counter to watch the chefs at work."
