One of our biggest passions at LMP (alongside Pilates) is pasta. Having tried plenty of plates between us, we’ve curated our favourite pasta places for you to try! Last week the LMP team, had a self care day where I taught them Pilates and then we went to Artusi in Peckham for bowls of pasta followed by cake, it inspired me to share the Pasta love!

Manteca

The best place to come with friends and over order on sharing plates. The kale pesto is a must try and an honourable mention has to go to the duck ragu.

Pophams London Fields

A fairly minimalist menu which changes every few months. We love to sit at the counter where you can see the team freshly preparing the little golden nuggets. They also have a beautiful homeware store - which is every bit as dreamy as you would expect from an East London enterprise.

Pastaio

There has to be something celebratory about spending £10 on a wholesome and delicious meal in central London. Using the freshest ingredients to cook up creative dishes such as their tomato and kimchi vegan spaghetti or authentic cacio e pepe. It’s hard to leave here without also ordering the heavenly double baked chocolate cake!

Cottura

This family run pasta bar is a hidden gem in West London, Chiswick. Lovely relaxed restaurant from husband and wife Joaquín & Leticia, who previously produced pasta for Harrods, Pasta Evangelists and Natoora are now serving customers from their own place.

Flour and Grape

A firm favourite on the London pasta scene, known for large portions and even larger queues - recommend getting there at 5pm to join the first sitting!

Artusi

Peckham, my local neighbourhood brimming with foodie spots, and Artusi brings us our beloved pasta. Take note of the 3-course set menu offered exclusively during Sunday lunches, priced at a reasonable £29.

Bancone

Now with three locations to choose from, we highly suggest taking a trip to the Covent Garden spot as it holds a special place in our hearts for its date night/girls night vibes. Treat yourself to the silk handkerchiefs, walnut butter, and confit egg yolk dish.
