Pasta Evangelists New Oxford Street brings fresh artisan pasta, late-night dining and a lively trattoria-style atmosphere to the heart of Soho. The restaurant's decor channels the warmth of a Mediterranean summer evening. Terracotta-toned walls and wooden panelling are softened by trailing greenery, deep brown leather booth seating and warm copper table lamps that glow throughout the dining room. Industrial-style light fittings, photographs of the Italian countryside and shelves filled with Italian ingredients add to the relaxed feel, while the open kitchen keeps the atmosphere lively as guests watch fresh pasta dishes being prepared throughout service. The vibrant eatery creates a sociable setting suited to everything from casual lunches and date nights to group dinners and pre-theatre meals.
Fresh pasta sits firmly at the centre of the menu, with guests able to choose from a variety of shapes and sauces inspired by regional Italian cooking. Signature dishes include the Carbonara of Dreams, prepared with guanciale, pancetta and pecorino romano, alongside beef and Chianti ragu, truffle cacio e pepe and spicy arrabbiata. Filled pasta dishes such as lobster and prawn ravioli sit alongside Tuscan-style lasagne and chicken and mushroom risotto.
Elsewhere, the menu includes antipasti and sharing dishes such as burrata, aubergine parmigiana, garlic bread and charcuterie boards, alongside pinsa, known for its rectangular shape and crisp finish. A variety of vegan and vegetarian options are available. Desserts keep things classic with tiramisu, profiteroles and gelato.
Drinks continue the Italian influence running through the food menu, with wines, spritzes, cocktails, beers and digestifs available alongside soft drinks and coffees. Pasta-making masterclasses also take place within the restaurant, offering guests a more interactive way to experience the authentic Italian dining experience.
