12 London Spots For The Perfect Pasta Fix. London

Photo by Iwona B – Antico Restaurant 12 London Spots For The Perfect Pasta Fix The Local Yelp - London Pasta... from spaghetti to ravioli and tortellini to gnocchi, however you cut it, this city has it. Whether it's mixed with fresh sauces or straight up with olive oil, grab a fork and tuck into a plate of that true Italian goodness.    Padella 13 reviews Italian Restaurants London Bridge, 24 Borough High St, London Heather B. wrote: “Holy delicious pasta... The crab pasta was citrusy and light, delicate but flavoursome. The sausage pasta had a delightful kick to it, lots of spice and tangy tomato sauce. But the real deal pasta was the ravioli.”   Antico Restaurant 36 reviews Italian Restaurants, Bars Borough, 214 Bermondsey Street, London Sierra S. wrote: “Pretty much perfection. I had the arrabiata with the arugula side salad and a glass of white wine, she had the ravioli and the same... everything was super flavorful.”   Ciao Bella 107 reviews Italian Restaurants Bloomsbury, 86-90 Lambs Conduit Street, London Richard K. wrote: “Ciao Bella's carbonara is so tasty that I never have to spend time browsing the menu as it's such an easy choice. Their portions are generous, and I really love that all the waiters and staff are Italian, which gives the place a nice authentic vibe.”   Bocca Di Lupo 140 reviews Italian Restaurants Soho, 12 Archer Street, London Jessie W. wrote: “I adore the taste of ricotta ravioli with broad bean pure and peppercorn... The combination of flavours is fantastic... They have an outstanding selection of other pasta meals.”   Burro E Salvia Pastificio 6 reviews Specialty Food, Italian Restaurants Shoreditch, 52 Redchurch Street, London Daniel F. wrote: “Wowzers... the Black Squid Ink ravioli from the menu... The pasta was perfectly cooked with a creaminess inside and firm texture that was all bound together with a simple tomato garlic based sauce... wanted to shed a tear the meal was over so quickly.”   Lina Stores 18 reviews Delicatessen Soho, 18 Brewer Street, London Kristen C. wrote: “Floor to ceiling shelves are packed, filled with Italian food favourites straight from Italy. But what makes this place extra special are the homemade pastas, ravioli and sauces, alongside an extensive array of deli selections, breads, cheeses, and meats.”   La Tua Pasta 8 reviews Italian Restaurants North Acton, 52 Gorst Road, London Whitney R. wrote: “This is the best pasta in London, hands down. I frequent their stall at Borough Market and buy them out every time. The pasta is fresh and the fillings for the tortellinis are delicious, particularly the pumpkin flavored ones... it is to die for!”   Bottega Prelibato 50 reviews Coffee & Tea Shops, Italian Restaurants, Delis Hoxton, 45 Rivington Street, London Giorgia Elizabeth R. wrote: “My favourite Italian in London hands down. The food is amazing, the portions are massive, the wine list is beautiful... Try the seafood, the pasta, the wine. They're all excellent. This place ticks all the boxes and I couldn't recommend it enough.”   Osteria Basilico 60 reviews Italian Restaurants Notting Hill, 29 Kensington Park Road, London Amanda M. wrote: “Lovely little place in Notting Hill. We tried a lot of different things and everything was very tasty... the tortellini with spinach and ricotta was definitely creamy and luxurious. Yes I just called pasta luxurious.”   La Pappardella 49 reviews Pizza, Italian Restaurants Earls Court, 253 Old Brompton Road, London Kirsten G. wrote: “Great neighborhood spot... I had the broccoli pasta and was blown away with the portion size. I made two full meals out of it. The noodles were perfectly al dente and the sauce was light and refreshing.”   Apulia 12 reviews Italian Restaurants Farringdon, 50 Long Lane, London Steve B. wrote: “I had the orechiette pasta... simply served with crispy breadcrumbs, yet bold flavours of the bitter broccoli, chilli, the softness of the greens and pasta... Perfect. Clean, fresh, bold and enjoyable.”   The River Cafe 69 reviews Italian Restaurants Fulham, Rainville Road, London Tiana B. wrote: “I just adore this place — my favourite Italian in London by far. Not only is the food excellent, fresh, and seasonal... and prices are (in my opinion) very reasonable... the pasta is always cooked to absolute perfection.”
