About this menu

La Nonna (Pasta fresca) is an Italian restaurant on Market Row in London, serving everything from small plates to bowls of pasta. The menu begins with snacks and antipasti, where burrata con pesto rosso sits, then moves on to salads and sharing platters before arriving at the pasta. There you will find bucatini pistachio pesto, spaghetti alle vongole and rigatoni alla carbonara, and a separate kids pasta section closes the list.

If you only want a bite to begin with, the snacks and antipasti are easy to order from on their own, while the pasta covers a fuller main course. Salads are there for anyone who wants greens alongside. For a simple order at the table, the sharing platters, including the arancini platter, bring different bites together in one go. Families are catered for too, with parmesan cheesy spaghetti among the dishes in the kids pasta section, so children can choose from their own list.
