Scarpetta - Cannon Street

Really surprised by how good the pasta here was. We came here on a Tuesday evening and had the PICI N’DUJA & SAUSAGE and MUSHROOM & TRUFFLE PAPPARDELLE. The pasta in both was perfectly el dente and both sauces were deliciously rich with the right blend of spiciness, sausage and tomato in the pici and mushroom and truffle in the pappadelle. Service was quick and pleasant. Very enjoyable experience

Fresh daily pasta, original products, very kind staff, good coffee, variety of alternative milks, good atmosphere. Im happy to recommend.✌🏻

Suitable for friends' gathering with good food, chill environment and kimd service.
Special: handmade Italian pasta
Price: 35/person (with a starter, pasta, dessert and drink)

The food was quite good and a well sized portion. I highly recommend the desserts which were really nice!
The young girl with brown hair was really polite, agreeable and did her job really well. However, the woman with ginger hair and glasses was very rude on several occasions! I never have issues with waiters and rarely leave ratings but she was very rude to my friends and I. We were having a nice time but this really made us want to cut our time there short. Would have given the restaurant 4 stars if it weren’t for this…

I visited the restaurant in late September 2022. This used to be my go to place for a pasta lunch pre-pandemic. I am sorry to say but unfortunately this place is not as good value for money. While the prices have gone up due to inflation (the same as in other similar establishments), my biggest concern was the "cheapening" of the experience.

The pasta menu has changed and not for the best. The offerings seem to be simpler than before and it seems as if the driver was cost of materials rather than a focus on making the dishes desirable. Because of this it seems some dishes are really simple like pasta with a bit of tomato sauce for around £10 in the large size container.

The restaurant also offers salads and sweets which I always considered to be on the pricier side and have not tried them.

Because of the above I have downgraded my review as of early October 2022 to 3 stars compared to 5 earlier.

My strongest suggestion to management is to seriously rethink their offering to customers at their chosen price point.

I would say pretty average pasta.

People go here just because of rule of thumb. They do not ask themselves the question whether the food they eat is actually good and they just consume. Since people go there, they just tag along with the group thinking and end up eating as well.

The different varieties of pasta do not have a lot of sauce and the dough from which the penne is made is REALLY heavy on the stomach.

Would recommend you try out once to determine for yourself.

Pretty tasty Italian spot in London, not super crowded which is good on weekends. Fresh pasta and salads make it memorable. Staff very kind and friendly.

Pasta was a bit thick, but delicious
