One of London’s best pasta restaurants is opening a brand new location.
The third branch of Padella – which follows the original location by Borough Market and a second in Shoreditch – is set to come to Soho next spring.
The 80-seater restaurant will open at 2 Kingly Street, a decade after the first Padella launched. Run by the same team as Highbury’s Trullo (the best Italian restaurant in London, according to Time Out), the much-loved Padella is known for its hand-rolled pasta, including their now-legendary pici cacio e pepe and pappardelle with beef shin ragù.
Padella Soho will be split across the ground floor and basement, and include a private dining room for up to eight guests. If we may be so bold as to quote ourselves about Padella’s greatness, we recently said of the restaurant: ‘This legend’s note-perfect, well-priced pastas are as raved-about now as they were the week it opened.’ We stand by it.
Speaking about the opening, owners Tim Siadatan and Jordan Frieda have said: ‘We have always felt the energy of Soho was a perfect fit for Padella, and we’ve spent a long time looking for the right space. Bringing our fresh pasta to Kingly Street is something we are both incredibly excited about, and we hope it becomes a place where people can drop in for a quick plate or settle in for a long evening’.
