Padella

The duo behind Trullo in Highbury, Tim Siadatan and Jordan Frieda, opened their second restaurant, Padella, in Borough Market in March 2016. Padella's menu consists of eight pasta dishes inspired by Trullo's "greatest hits", with fresh pasta rolled in the restaurant window just before service.

Padella, a small no-bookings restaurant where queues are unavoidable, was founded on the desire to make fresh handmade pasta affordable to all, with prices ranging from £5.50 to £11.50. The open kitchen combines traditional Italian techniques with high-quality British ingredients to create dishes such as pappardelle and eight-hour beef shin ragu, tagliarini with brown shrimp, green and yellow courgette, and the now-famous pici cacio e pepe.

When you walk past Padella and see the pasta being rolled out in the window just hours before service, you know you're in for a treat. The simple menu is built around slow-cooked sauces and ragus from the duo's travels throughout Italy, showcasing classic Italian techniques.
