Padella Shoreditch
London Bridge pasta palace Padella is opening a second site on Phipp Street in Shoreditch in early 2020, following on from the roaring success its original site, which opened in Borough Market in 2016.
Meaning pan in Italian, Padella is a sister restaurant to Trullo in Islington, which was launched in 2010 by restaurateurs Tim Siadatan and Jordan Frieda. Rain or shine hordes of hungry tourists queue eagerly outside the tiny Borough Market venue, keen to get their chops around a steaming plate of pici cacio e pepe.
The sister site in Shoreditch will serve similarly simple and affordable pasta dishes and will boast an on-site bakery. The restaurant is proposing opening hours of 8am to 11pm Monday to Sunday, and will sell alcohol between the hours of 11am and 11pm.
Padella in Borough Market now operates with WalkIn, an app that allows users to wait for a table remotely. Its pasta dishes range from £4 for gnocchi and nutmeg to £11 for tagliarini with Exmouthmussels, chilli, garlic, parsley and lemon.
