Padella Shoreditch

Padella Shoreditch is a casual pasta bar near Old Street that serves fresh pasta made daily. Its menu centers on fresh pasta dishes that rely on simple ingredients, such as cacio e pepe, beef shin ragu, and chili garlic tagliarini. The open kitchen draws a queue for tables around 7 p.m. on Saturday evenings, and counter seats let diners watch the chefs cook. A plate of pasta is on the small side.
