Description

It's not hard to see why this perennially popular pasta spot is so busy. The chefs make their pasta fresh every morning ready for a new wave of hungry customers to enjoy, then cook it with admirable precision and add a range of mouth-watering accompaniments – whether that be cavolo nero with the the cavatelli or regional specialities like a delicious Tuscan gorgonzola sauce with stacci. Don't forget the equally impressive tarts for dessert, too. Arrive in plenty of time to scan the QR code and join the virtual queue, then have a wander round the neighbouring Borough Market.

Review summary

Padella in Sutton is renowned for its fresh, made-to-order pasta and concise menu. Reviews highlight excellent food quality and attentive service, with staff often praised for their professionalism. However, negative feedback points to a complex booking system, long waits, and inconsistent meal pacing. Some diners noted small portions or overly salty dishes, while others appreciated the complimentary water. Due to limited seating, reservations are essential. Despite mixed views on value and wait times, the restaurant maintains a high rating, making it suitable for those seeking authentic Italian cuisine who can manage potential delays.
