This is the Best Pasta Spot in London
For a long time we thought we were set on our favourite pasta place in London. We were big fans of Padella, a cute pasta restaurant in Borough Market that was delivering the goods… like so much so that we would give it the Grackle stamp of approval to people in conversation. It was our favourite, the one, the best… or so we thought!
We’ve been dying to try this new spot on the block - Flour and Grape. Found nestled in the busy streets of Bermondsey we could not wait to try it and luckily enough our day came and we managed to go when there was no queue and oh my goodness this place blows Padella out of the water.
Take a look below and see our review:
Now don’t get me wrong Padella is still good. We just think that Flour and Grape is a whole level up. If we’re going to eat out then the likelihood is that we’re all going to do a sharing thing as we like to get a little taste of everything. That’s just the way it has to be so you can talk about the different foods and everyone knows what’s going on.
So we started with some Nocerellas as you know I just can’t hold back from those sweet olives. We then moved onto the main dishes and we ordered a selection: We had the Anolini - which was a delicious spinach pasta, The Ravioli with ricotta pumpkin and almonds! YUM! We also had the spaghetti Carbonara which was just delightful. All of the items we ordered were creamy and delicious and just had that perfect blend of Italian flavours that makes pasta feel like home.
If you saw my reaction to them all it went something like this…. ‘oh wow… oh my goodness…’ and that continued for quite some time as we obsessed over this pasta. It was giving some seriously good times.
The main takeaway from my experience here is that the food is just absolutely delicious. A solid 10/10. We loved the service which was fantastic; they were attentive and chilled and even better is that the still and sparkling water was complimentary!
Overall, the vibes at Flour and Grape are immaculate - they did everything right from the food to the portion sizes to the atmosphere; making this is my new favourite pasta spot in London.
