“Does one thing and does it well” – pasta is made fresh on site each day at Stevie Parle’s “busy” Soho venue, and the resulting “great dishes are served quickly with a smile”. It’s “great value too”, so “a good go-to with a few friends for a quick bite”. Top Tip – “shows you don’t need burgers and chicken nuggets to make a good kids’ menu”.

“Fantastic pasta” is the USP at high-profile chef Stevie Parle’s Soho venue. In particular, it’s “a top spot with kids, thanks to the fun and friendly staff and a notably good children’s menu option”.

“A great place for a bowl of really well-executed pasta after a hard day’s shopping or pre-theatre”. “It’s only a shame that this Soho pasta-café is almost the only place you can now experience Stevie Parle’s lovely cooking”.

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).
