Our Story:

Padella is all about making exceptional pasta available at an affordable price.

Our first restaurant opened in Borough Market, London Bridge in 2016 and this year Padella No.2 has arrived in Shoreditch, Phipp Street. Padella is an award-winning restaurant owned by the Trullo duo; Jordan Frieda and Tim Siadatan. Trullo, their first ever restaurant has also celebrated it’s 10th Birthday this year. Oh yes, we have a very exciting year ahead of us….

Our Ethos:

We hand-roll over 700 portions of pasta everyday, serving fresh pasta dishes with traditionally made sauces using only the best seasonal British and European ingredients we can get our hands on. We cut no corners – whether it’s baking our own bread and tarts, churning our own ice cream or hand-filling our ravioli.

We’ve received recognition for what we do:

  • Best Dish 2016′ with Pici Cacio e Pepe in the London Festival Restaurants Awards
  • Best Cheap Eat in The Observer Food Monthly Awards 2016
  • Best 100 restaurants in London 2016, 2017 & 2018.
