Excellent pasta as always. They recently changed to the summer menu and it was perfect for this weather - lots of veggie based and refreshing dishes . Their simple dishes are best. My favourite was the tomato and basil pasta and the chilli garlic pasta. The mint and rocket salad was very well made too. Also one of the best tiramisu I've had recently.

Absolutely fantastic experience! This restaurant delivers consistency—every dish was prepared with high-quality ingredients and packed with incredible flavor. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our evening memorable. The decor and ambience have a sleek, New York-inspired charm, with a lively buzz of conversation that makes the atmosphere feel warm and natural. For the quality offered, the pricing is very reasonable. They made a special occasion feel truly special. Highly recommend! Shared a pasta as a starter - good idea.

Pasta heaven at Padella A perfect evening celebrating a friend’s birthday with the dreamiest spread of pasta I’ve ever had in one go! 6 different kinds, all shared around the table From the rich 8-hour beef shin ragu to the delicate spinach tagliarini and pici cacio e pepe every bite hit the spot We even managed to save room for tiramisu ofc

Can’t believe the prices for how good this place is. That definitely adds to it, feels like value not like I’m having cash taken out of me. Amazing. Pasta is delicious, service incredibly efficient and welcoming, magic. Watching the chefs work the line is also brilliant fun

Really solid pasta spot. We went twice—once for dinner, once for lunch—and both times were consistently great. Super satisfying. We’re big fans of the thinner tagliarini—lighter than your usual tagliatelle, but perfect for clinging to the sauce. And the sauce? Flavorful, moorish, and just rich enough without being oily or heavy. They really nailed the balance. The slow-cooked tomato is a standout, and the spinach pesto is a close second. If you order the sourdough, definitely ask them to toast it. It’s good, but 5.50 feels steep (especially when you’re used to free bread in France). Service is lovely, and booking’s easy even on the weekends—a big plus in London.

Fresh pasta everyday - loved this place! The food are absolutely delicious. The marinated peppers were really flavorful, combined with burrata over sourdough made for a heavenly food. The pasta are absolutely delicious. Simple ingredients but just burst with flavor. Get the kitchen counter, so you can see the efficiency of the chefs cooking all the pasta - it was mesmerizing. Service was great - constantly checking on us despite the fact that it was a busy lunch service.

Had a really great meal here. Definitely recommend getting a few pasta dishes that you share. The standouts for me were the anchovy butter pasta and the cacio Pepe. The atmosphere was great, and I think it’s really reasonable for what you get.
