  “Purely for Instagram, not real cheese wheel pasta Total gimmick. The cheese wheel is just a prop where they dip your pasta for one second before serving it to you. It’s absolutely not what you expect when you order this kind of dish. It looks cool for a video, but the actual taste and process are super disappointing. Save your money.”

  “Pasta was well cooked and provided a good portion size. A little bit too much lemon juice for me. The service was quick but racially profiling me was not acceptable. They changed the song to a different language after I had ordered and the guy sang it as he served the pasta to me but it wasn't a language I spoke. The music was also extremely loud making it hard to hear and talk without yelling, surely disturbing other vendors and their customers as well. The pasta was not flavoured that well, there are definitely better places to go in Camden but maybe not for the same price. Still, I would not recommend this place unless you want to be racially profiled.”

  “Best pasta I've ever had. Get pancetta one if you're carnivore. Load it with parmesan, chilli oil and crushed garlic. Make sure you get two portions because it's this good.”

  “What a fun place!! I heard of the Cheese Wheel back in 2019 but didn’t get a chance to try them until my most recent trip- and it was everything I hoped and more! They are located on the outdoor food market, stall 29. It was pouring but the staff were friendly, welcoming and energetic. Even allowed me to take pictures of them preparing everything. I ordered the original fettuccine, but they all looked delicious. I’m a self proclaimed Alfredo snob and this place knocked it out of the park! I can’t recommend it more and can’t wait to go back during my next trip!!”

  “Absolutely loved this place! The Cheese Wheel is such a fun and unique spot in Camden Market. They make the pasta fresh right in front of you and then mix it in a big wheel of cheese — so satisfying to watch and even better to eat! I had the fettuccine with basil pesto & dried tomato and added extra mushroom and it was delicious — super cheesy, rich, and full of flavour. The staff were really friendly and the whole vibe around the stall is great. Perfect place for a quick, tasty lunch while exploring Camden. Definitely recommend for any pasta or cheese lover! 🧀🍝”

  “I loved both flavours of pasta, the truffle pasta was rich, creamy, and delicious. Really enjoyed the arrabbiata sauce. The truffle mozzarella sticks were incredibly cheesy and tasty 😍 The fettuccine is made fresh in their open kitchen and comes with a creamy white wine sauce with topped with parmesan, garlic, chives and your choice of toppings”

  “My teenage daughter found this place somewhere while browsing her phone and at first when she mentioned it I thought it sounds like a gimmick. Maybe there is some gimmick to it, but the end product is super delicious pasta which great consistency and flavor! I loved it. With all the very interesting options you will see at Camden Market, it is likely easy to overlook this one, but I would advise to give it a shot! The guys working were great, and will likely offer a quick free sample if you aren’t sure. There aren’t any places to sit immediately next to this shop, but close by there are some dome things with tables inside where you need to be bold and just grab whatever available space there is. This turned out to be kind of fun too as we wound up dining alongside strangers that tried other options from market vendors. Overall, the environment at the market are super cool and hip. Not my scene really, but I felt comfortable and had fun.”

  “Had the ragu option at their stall at the Kingston Christmas market. The concept of pasta in a cheese wheel is gimmicky. The pasta barely touched the cheese wheel and it didn’t taste cheesy. Probably why they offered Parmesan powder for customers to add to the pasta. At almost £12 we expected more. Also the staff looked very half hearted and touched the pasta with her hand before serving us the food. So let down that I couldn’t be bothered to take a foodie photo and just thought to myself there is no next time. The handed samples to people using the “foot in the door” selling technique which was very outdated.”

  “This is not what I expected. I read a lots of reviews and saw many photos of this place last year and decided to try it when I walked past today. It tasted nice but I was expecting more wow factor. It's priced at 8.50. It's less cheese than I expected. The pasta first cooked in the pan then mixed in the cheese wheel for a couple seconds and cream sauce and mushroom was put in after the pasta being plated in the box. The portion is small and I think the cheese I tasted mainly came from the cream sauce not the cheese itself.”
