Padella

On the Grid : Padella

"Padella offers a carefully selected menu of seasonal pasta dishes, combining traditional Italian techniques with quality British produce without breaking the bank. The pasta is freshly made each day, passers-by can watch in the window as it is rolled out. (one tip: get there early because even in a food stuffed Borough, Padella is very popular!)" - NB Studio

The Best Cheesy Bites In London - London - The Infatuation

"You might associate Padella with a two hour wait and famously excellent handmade pasta, but it’s also one of the best places in London to get a big ball of the good stuff. Here they let the burrata do all the talking, because when it’s as creamy and delicious as this one is, it doesn’t need any other frills. Drizzled with a little bit of olive oil, this ridiculously light piece of cheese doesn’t need anything else. Apart from Padella's sourdough bread, of course." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"It's not hard to see why this perennially popular pasta spot is so busy. The chefs make their pasta fresh every morning ready for a new wave of hungry customers to enjoy, then cook it with admirable precision and add a range of mouth-watering accompaniments – whether that be cavolo nero with the the cavatelli or regional specialities like a delicious Tuscan gorgonzola sauce with stacci. Don't forget the equally impressive tarts for dessert, too. Arrive in plenty of time to scan the QR code and join the virtual queue, then have a wander round the neighbouring Borough Market." - Michelin Inspector

10 Meal Kits You Can Make With Your Kids - London - The Infatuation

"One of the great things about Padella’s meal kit is that it comes with how-to instructions on YouTube, meaning you can just point at your laptop screen and say ‘let’s just watch what this nice man Tim is doing and copy him’. Their legendary 8-hour beef shin pappardelle is now available to make at home with their pasta kit that even includes organic butter and San Pietro 24-month aged parmesan, so there are zero trips to the shop required. You can handle the hot water and sieving whilst the little ones handle the measuring jug, stirring, salt, and plating. The £15 kit is for two so you might need to place a double order, or feel free to mix it up with the gorgonzola stracci kit." - heidi lauth beasley
