  “Amazing meal at Padella. The pici cacio e pepe was perfectly creamy and full of flavour, and the beef shin ragù was rich and tender. Simple, high-quality pasta done right—definitely worth the wait.”

  “Padella is an absolute must if you love pasta. We had the Pappardelle with 8 hours Hereford beef shin ragu, Pici cacio & pepe, and spinach tagliarini, every single dish was incredible. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Easily some of the best pasta I’ve ever had in London. Crazy good! Don’t miss it!”

  “This is the absolute best Italian dish I've ever had - freshness, seasoning, presentation, all 100 out of 100. The vibe of the restaurant is amazing, the layout is simply cool - part diner, part sushi bar, part speakeasy. The staff is incredible and very proud of what is being accomplished here.”

  “Authentic hand made pasta. Highly recommend the Pappardelle beef shin ragu . Tiramisu was also outstanding. Staff were very friendly and service was great. NOT a tourist trap!”

  “Padella had been recommended to us numerous times and whilst the starters were excellent (carpaccio and asparagus) we both found our pasta choices (crab linguine and beef shin pappardelle) somewhat lacking in depth of flavour. Having said …”

  “Padella is an oasis in the hellscape that is Borough Market. For less than £20, you get a high quality sit down restaurant (seats are a premium out here!). Plus, the food is amazing! It's rare that I will not go here every time I'm in Borough Market, because the value proposition is just too good. You can get 8 Turkish delights, or a filling and delicious sit-down meal. It's not a hard decision, I think.”

  “What can you say - just amazing. Italian food restaurant located at Borough Market which is an amazing place to eat & drink with friends and enjoy great Italian pasta. We tried Tagliarini with tomato Sauce, Burrata with Le Ferre Olive oil, Bruschetta with winter tomatoes and Pappardelle with beef. All of them were just amazing. You feel the quality of the Olive oil and we also loved the bread which they do on their own. The pastas were really great and we enjoyed each bit. The Tagliarini is great to enjoy with parmesan. The staff is perfect with a big smile, great recommendations and are always here to help you. The atmospere is nice to enjoy and not loud. Recommended.”

  “Been wanting to check out Padella for a while. The wait was surprisingly quick only about 10/15 mins although it was probably because we got there not long after it opened. The dishes also came out quicker than expected and they were of a good portion. The fettuccine with cobble lane cured nduja was packed with creamy cheesy flavour that made each bite deliciously moorish. The tagliarini with dried chili garlic and pangrattato was equally tasty with an added chilli zing. Everything tasted authentically fresh and home made, including the bruschetta with winter tomatoes and wild oregano. A must go to if you’re in the borough and love pasta.”

  “This was our second time at Padella, and it confirmed why it’s such a favorite. It’s a must-visit spot for lunch if you’re in Borough Market. There’s no need to reserve in advance—just put your name down, enjoy a walk around the market, and they’ll let you know when your table is ready. The atmosphere is lively, the process is smooth, and most importantly, everything we ate was very good. Consistently excellent pasta and well worth the wait.”
