Harden's survey result
Summary
On a Clerkenwell corner – part of a Scandi-style workspace called Fora – chef Stevie Parle’s four-year-old has carved a reputation as a good-value pasta stop, specialising in Roman-inspired dishes. Marked ‘temporarily closed’ as we go to press (and with no social activity since spring 2020), we have rated it on the hope and expectation that it will reopen as before.
Summary
Chef Stevie Parle’s three-year-old pasta specialist is a real “crowd-pleaser”, with “consistently interesting, extremely tasty” Roman-inspired dishes emerging from its “impressively visible kitchen”. It’s part of a “warehouse-style” Clerkenwell work-space, but “when busy you forget the office atmosphere which can otherwise be a little cold”. Top Tip – “cacio e pepe is to die for”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
