Padella London Reviews
Stopped at Padella to try to Pici cacio & pepe.
There was already a line out the door even at 4:45pm to try their delicious food. Padella offers indoor and outdoor seating with heaters to keep you warm. The Pici cacio & pepe was an 12/10. The service was exceptional. The staff were very frien
Very enjoyable
Book in and join a virtual queue. It said 60 mins but it was only about 30 to 40 before we were messaged, and seated. There are very few tables. Most seating is on stools either around the kitchen, or the window. We were seated looking into the ki

Food was beyond amazing, the staff are so welcoming and fun to chat with, the outdoor patio seating is the way to go that way you can see all the street life as you enjoy your food! Get the pici Cacio e pepe it was beyond flavorful
Disappointing
Very small portion of crab pasta, size of a starter, was still hungry after had finished, and I usually eat small portion. Was also extremely salty and did not taste particularly fresh. Fig tart was tasty. Overall price for both £25 without any d
Very nice small restaurant but you will need to wait.
I recommend you plan well, e.g visiting places nearby after take a ticket and come back.
Delicious Pasta
The pasta was delicious- i had beef ragu pasta and my husband had pedto. Not massive portions but that suits me. Shared a tiramisu for dessert which was light and tasty. You need to book and join via virtual queue using QR code outside restaurant. We

Fantastic
Great find. Food and service was fantastic. Food prepared in front of you. Great experience all round. Was worth the 10 min wait for a table.
Worth the wait for sure.
Very fresh flavors that leave the tastebuds wanting more. We sat by the window which gave us a good view to people watch.
The pasta is excellent!!! I will definitely seek out this
The pasta is excellent!!! I will definitely seek out this restaurant the next time I'm in London.
Terriffic food and service
They have table waiting down pat, you give them your name and party number and they call you when a table is free, so you can be at the pub for a quickie then head over. Our meals were delicious, wines were good too, loved every bit

10/10 pasta, tastes like it's straight from Italy! (I say that as someone who studied abroad there). I got the lemon and butter sage ravioli and it was so good. My friend and I went around 6pm on a Wednesday evening and it was pretty busy. The
Yummy
First time in this restaurant, it's a nice restaurant with an open kitchen. We loved the pasta, good portions and good prizes. It's a hidden gem! We would visit again.

I'm pretty sure Padella always has a wait, so when we saw they had just opened and tables were available, we jumped at the chance to immediately get a table. There are two levels and the staircase is steep, so if anyone in your party can't

If you're looking for authentic Italian food in a lively restaurant with great service and fair prices try Padella. We had pasta ragu , Chianti and fresh sourdough and it was the best pasta I've had since I was in Italy . Homemade noodles a
I dined here solo and was blown away.
The Tagliarini With Dried Chilli, Garlic & Pangrattato was unbelievably good. I ordered it after asking my waiter for his favorite dish. He very kindly helped me choose and I adored the meal. I would go back 1000x.
All the pasta was fresh and came out quickly.
Don't skip the tiramisu! Perfect way to end the meal. The service was also great!

We got the app and joined the queue at 5:15 and were seated around 6:12pm. I recommend getting the app to get on the waitlist otherwise you'll need to go to the restaurant and scan the QR code to get on the queue. It was a small place. We got Bu
Charming reception from Nicola, Lily, and the team.
Charming reception from Nicola, Lily, and the team. A very enjoyable lunch. Top quality cooked to order authentic Italian food thank you
Good but not great…..
Staff were friendly enough & extremely quick service, wine was lovely but pasta dishes didn’t live up to my expectations, oily & a bit bland, had chilli hotness but no depth of flavour, which was a shame. We had the nduja & chilli pasta
A lovely return visit
I do love this Restaurant, sadly last ate there after covid & walked the wrong way on the street looking for it as so long returning. It's brilliant you can actually book in person. The system that let's you know when table ready is very helpfull
Ferrari service , Fiat prices .
Basement seating is less noisy but still one is glad to visit , Zap the Qr code and join the queue , eager to receive a reply . Diners don’t hang about here , it’s designed for a fast foot fall and swift service We enjoyed Light pastas coupled
Satisfying lunch
I had the burrata, pici cacio & pepe and the ice cream with coffee. Food was good. The pasta didn't look appetizing. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I came right and opening time for lunch on a Thursday and got a spot on a counter. It
Great value for quality Italian food in London.
This was one of my favorite meals on my trip to London. It's right by the borough market. You can add your name to the queue and they'll text you when your table is ready (so you don't have to wait around). We had the pappardelle and cacio e pepe. Th
This Pasta Place in London is still some of the best
This Pasta Place in London is still some of the best Italian food that I've ever had. It rivals and maybe exceeds the taste and quality of food we had in Italy. It is no wonder this place is completely packed every time we visit, with a line waitin
Great experience.
Came here with my wife and 3 kids, all under 8. They had a kids eat free deal on (not sure if this runs all the time or just for the holidays) which made the overall bill excellent value. My wife had the crab pasta and I had the ragu, both delicious
Tasty, filling, great atmosphere
Ryan our waiter was a joy to chat and helpful with a question and prompt and good at his job. I’ve been before so knew what l wanted…the beef ragu. My daughter recommended the Burrita so we shared plus bread . Both excellent and delicious. White
I loved it so much
I loved the experience! Delicious food, super fair price, great atmosphere and incredible service! An obligatory stop for anyone going to London and wanting Italian food. The only problem was that I ordered the cacio e pepe and, despite it being deli
Homemade pasta perfection.
Our kids took us here for my wife’s birthday lunch. She misses her Italy although we visit often. This little eatery is a breath of fresh air and the quality of the food and friendly understated service is worthy of its Michelin Guide attention.

Excellent Lunch Experience
I hadn't heard of Padella but, as passing, my daughter said it has an excellent reputation. We had a quick pasta lunch with a half litre of excellent Chianti. We sat by the kitchen and watched an efficient team work their magic, apparently, I think,
Tasty tasty food
Very Tasty food - enjoyable lunch out with friends. Atmosphere nice and good service. Will definitely be coming again!
Fantastic Italian Food
The food from a small menu was excellent, with the booking process very efficient. We loved the bruschetta with tomato, the pate and for the mains the crab tagliarini and the Dexter beef pappardelle as well as the ravioli. The atmosphere in this Boro
Lovely pasta
Went here for lunch after visiting the Bubble Museum. Lovely pasta and great service. Kids loved the pici cacio. The crab pasta and Gorgonzola pasta dishes were great too. Will defo return :)
Delicious dinner
Excellent cuisine, made with high quality ingredients. Agile and impeccable service. I thank everyone for their attention and patience, as this trip is precisely about immersing ourselves in the language. I recommend the restaurant.
Padella for the win
Glad we made the effort to make this happen. It is right outside Borough Market. They do not take reservations so we arrived around 1115 for their 1130a opening and were seated within 5 min of opening. Homemade pasta was a hit with entire family. Ice

Don't let this spot pass you by! Coming here you wont be disappointed with the fresh pasta made and prepared in front of you. The Tagliarini was both fresh and creamy complimented with chili and leamon which was complimented with a nice red. Suggest
Fresh pasta
Went for a quick lunch. Easy to queue via the QR code. Said 30 mins wait but as I was by myself it was only about 5 mins in the end. It was interesting to see pasta being prepared. Menu was short but lots of different flavours. I tried the s
Not Disabled Friendly
Not disabled friendly, and difficult service. The virtual queue wasn’t working, and the staff then said they deactivated it for a bit. So we had got to the front of the queue at that point. They then told me to get into the virtual queue because th

Simple great menu, high quality food and great service! A new favorite. We didn't have a reservation but they fit us in, which is what a place focused on delighting customers should do vs throwing shade at you!

Make sure you get the dojo app ahead of time so you can put yourself on the waitlist when you are close to the restaurant. For us the wait time was actually only about 1/3 of the quoted wait time, which was a pleasant surprise so make sure you are in
Incredible pasta! Every dish we tried is perfection.
Service was just right and welcoming. Enjoyed their non-alcoholic options, can get loud at night but worth it for this food.

Another frequent London recommendation that was totally worth the hype!! As a solo diner I only had to wait ~15 mins for a bar seat, and walked around Borough market as I waited. What a cool vibe at the bar as you get to watch your food being made r

Queued up here just before it opened so we were able to be seated at the window right away. After my visit to Italy, I realized that Pici is my favorite type of pasta but I struggle to find it in many restaurants in the US or UK. I was excited to see
I think I need to stop ordering cacio e pepe at restaurants
I think I need to stop ordering cacio e pepe at restaurants outside of Italy because I always end up disappointed. It was recommended to me by the server so I tried it but...I don't know. It certainly had the right amount of pepper, which I was thril

The last time I was here was 2019 & this place still has great quality pasta. They always has a line so make sure to get on the queue before the restaurant opens via the QR code. Wait is usually 40 min or so. Food is freshly made, service is gr

I tried the famous pasta which was delicious, but i felt like the quantity was not it. Service was stellar and we were treated very well, and the ambiance is great as there are two floors with lots of space - feels like you are at a hidden spot!
Connect with users posting reservations for Padella London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Padella London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Padella London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Padella London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Padella London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Padella London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
