Nestled in Borough Market, Padella is a buzzing pasta haven where hand-rolled dishes meet affordable prices, all served in a casual, watch-the-chefs vibe.
"A-list pasta bar Padella, usually has (virtual) queues round-the-block for a seat at its Borough and Shoreditch pasta bars. Now they’re trialling pasta kits that you simply finish up at home. So if you fancy beef shin ragu or tomato tagliarini and you live in Islington or Hackney then their delivery bicycle will come to deliver on Friday afternoons. Pre-orders open at 6pm on Wednesdays. Order fast here." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"We have a theory that heaven is just one big pasta bar. Sure, there’ll probably be some pretty clouds and that childhood dog that your parents told you ‘moved to a magical farmyard’, but mostly, we think there’ll be pasta. More specifically, pasta in the form of Padella’s handmade cacio e pepe. This legendary spot will not only be taking part in eat out to help out, but for the first time they have outdoor seating at both their Shoreditch restaurant and OG spot in Borough Market." - heidi lauth beasley
"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
"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." - Michelin Inspector
"To truly get the authentic Padella experience at home, you’re going to need to grab a mask, go outside, and stand on your doorstep in the cold for an hour toe-tapping and mentally chanting ‘the pici will make all this waiting worth it’. Yes, usually to enjoy this ever popular pasta bar’s dishes you need to do some serious queuing, but not with their DIY kits. All of their signature pastas are available - including that 8-hour beef ragu pappardelle - as well as antipasti, a marmalade negroni, and how-to videos by one of their owners Tim that we find oddly soothing. Enjoy." - heidi lauth beasley
