Tourists, shoppers and workers around Piccadilly appear to be surrounded by everything that London has to offer, but when it comes to refuelling, there seems to be very little to choose from – unsavoury burgers, wraps and kebabs spring to mind. Pasta Sereni might just be what hungry, busy people are looking for. Tucked up just round the corner, this fast casual restaurant offers hearty soups and salads, as well as pasta dishes for people who want to rest their weary limbs a minute or even stay on the hoof. Doesn’t handmade rigatoni al ragu or trottole with pesto and cherry tomatoes sound more the ticket than machine burger and fries? There’s no alcohol licence, but there’s a nice range of soft drinks and, being Italian run, the coffee’s highly recommended.
