Went there to try their gluten free pasta. They do warn you that there's the possibility of cross contamination, open kitchen and all, for me the risk was acceptable (ymmv).

Ordered the beef ragu gluten free, and it was the best fresh gluten free pasta I've had. Homemade and cooked to a perfect al dente. It was well sauced too, and a generous portion. My only nit is that the ragu didn't really have a big depth of flavor, but it was good.

My wife got the whole wheat burrata and nduja. She thought that the spiciness of the dish went well with the whole wheat pasta.

For appetizer we got the sauteed vegetables, which were cooked well.

Service was friendly. All in all, would definitely go there again to try some of there other dishes.

I visited today for the lunch and the food is fantastic. We started off with a salad plate, before moving on to a lovely cheese platter, and some meatballs and fried aubergine. The pasta courses were superb, with the highlight being a tagliatelle ragu. The gnocchi also had generous portions. Dessert was an awesome mascarpone with chocolate. 10/10 would go back, highly recommended. Pictures attached.

Friendly, quick service, I ordered Bolognese pasta, tasty, Pasta Al dente but portion was on the small side for £14.70

The plates were colourful and felt like I was being served a kids meal but I suppose thats just the style, if it was served in a white plate then it would be more photo appealing, overall good experience.

Way too expensive for very average pasta.

It was eatable, but very overpriced for how average and tasteless the pasta was. You are expecting way more when you pay £14-15 for a normal pasta bolognaise. I didn’t even take a picture of the food, that’s how boring the presentation of the pasta was.

Service was also below average. Very slow compared to how much staff and how few costumers on a Friday evening. No smiles, drinks came separately, they took plates away before both of us were done eating and they were very very cheap with the Parmesan cheese, which maybe could have brought a bit more taste to the tasteless pasta.

Definitely not worth the 12,5% service charge/tips.

Music in the restaurant was very weird and we had no idea what wibe they were trying to do - Italian, rock, pop?!

Pizzas looks good though, but we are probably not going back.

Positives: clean restaurant, nice decor
Negatives: staff were inattentive and cold, really looked like they wanted to be anywhere else. I'm sorry to say the food was absolutely awful, we had the beef ragu pasta and cacio e pepe pasta - both overcooked, soupy mess with no flavour at all. My pasta was floating in oil I couldn't stomach it. When the server brought us the bill he didn't ask how it was because I'm sure he already knew it was terrible. It was a waste of money and wasted evening.

Excellent new pasta place. Have ordered from here loads, and have eaten in once. Great service and great food. Portions may be a bit on the small side for some of the pasta dishes, but depends how hungry you are.

I went today to have lunch at Berto Pasta. It was a very nice experience. I had a carbonara and it was delicious, especially the guanciale!!! The service was amazing, friendly and kind with customers. It felt like the typical Sunday at your grandma! I really recommend this place 100%
