Pasta Nostra Old Street

"Top restaurant, a group of 6 of us were walking past and the we received a warm welcome by Joe to this amazing restaurant. Friendly and warm staff make this a restaurant a cut above, the food was also fantastic. Penne Arrabbiata is a delightful dish which will leave you wanting more. The ambience is really nice and the decor is quirky. We will definitely return."

"Went here for a girls date and it’s perfect for chitchatting or even date! The restaurant gets 2 floors in which the atmosphere is lovely :) Ordered a crab and prawn brioche, prawn and chilli spaghetti and lamb shoulder rigatoni. All tasted so good but the spaghetti is our favourite - the staff was so friendly and responsive, even asked if we would love to have extra spicy for it haha!"

"Had a lovely dinner earlier today at Pasta Nostra, a crossover of a restaurant and a bar. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we were met with smiles from every employee and endless great conversations. From the focaccia and various pasta dishes to the delicious deserts and great choice of wines provided by the restaurant, I had no faults in my experience there. The only thing I left regretting was arriving on a Friday and not the Thursday when there’s live jazz!"

"Dinner last night was a great experience! The feeling I got from entering the restaurant was that of a warm and refined ambient: red tulips on the tables, dim light, simple but stylish furniture. We started with some focaccia and a glass of wine (Primitivo). One of reasons I wanted to try this place was for their hand-made pasta, which something more and more restaurants started to do, and I am happy I tried it! I had mafalde with rabbit, which together with carrots, tarragon and something else I did not recognize exceeded my curiosity and expectations! It is not easy to make a well-cooked rabbit! My friend ordered the ink-squid pasta, but I found the combination with the green peas meaningless and the taste of the ink too mild for my tastes. We spent £30 each so I would say average for London. I will definitely come again to try one of their desserts!"
