Cafe Pasta - Shaftesbury Avenue in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Bien reçu et personnel agréable et servi assez rapidement malgré notre arrivée tardive. Plats bons et copieux.

Este concierto de café es un poco pretencioso con su decoración y, si bien sus confitería son para morirse, la comida servida es solo promedio, pero si solo tiene menos de una hora antes, debe cruzar la calle hacia uno de los teatros del otro lado. esta ubicación es ideal para una comida servida rápidamente, pero no espere que supere los estándares básicos.

Just a little stop here before the Theatre, its quite small so you should book before hand. Very lovely

Anteriormente he tenido muy buenos almuerzos en otros sitios Café concerto. Esto estaba bien, pero la comida era un poco soso y el servicio era lento.

Llamado en mostrar antes del teatro a las 11:45 a. m. (nos íbamos a las 2:00 Harry Potter). No necesitamos un almuerzo pero tenía un sandwich de carne entre nosotros, lo cual era perfecto, exactamente lo que necesitábamos. Junto con un almuerzo cocktail. El lugar estaba muy tranquilo, sólo otros dos huéspedes, pero allí llegamos temprano. El servicio era bueno, pero nada especial. Una bonita decoración interior que es lo que se puede esperar de esta empresa.

Siete de los miembros que después visitamos este restaurante wi íbamos a ver a las chicas en el Phoenix Theatre. El clima era absolutamente terrible y llegamos como ratas ahogado, pero el personal era tan servicial en colgar abrigos húmeda en la parte de atrás de las sillas en otras mesas. No sólo eso, les movía para nosotros como personas que desean utilizar esas llegamos mesas. Nuestros abrigos nos lo pasamos de maravilla! En el evento principal, que era la comida, y no nos podemos quejar. Yo tenía una enorme pizza (y no fue el mayor tamaño en oferta) - corteza delgada, un montón de abastecerse y caliente. Mis compañeros estaban igual de contentos con sus pizzas y pasta (que olía delicioso). Un lugar estupendo y no dudaría en volver a ir allí de nuevo.

Ottimo ristorante, ci siamo capitati per caso ed è stata una bellissima scoperta. Buon cibo italiano !!! Ottimo anche il prezzo !!!

Today sitting outside listening to an acoustic set ( part of Covent Garden residence festival) you wouldn't want to be anywhere else. This small cafe style restaurant I understand is part of a chain ; that said you would never guess. The mushroom soup was definitely home made as was the tiramisu. The staff were attentive without crowding you.Excellent options for vegetarians.Two starters two mains one pudding one coffee two beers two waters under 45 pounds In Covent Garden that is excellent value.The food tasted authentic with fresh herbs.When I couldn't managed all of the pudding the waitress checked in with me to see if was ok as it was freshly made that morning ; demonstrating that they were genuinely interested in customer satisfaction.They have daily specials as well as a very good range of options within their main menu.Highly recommended.

Las pizzas están buenísimas y los camareros no les he encontrado más simpáticos en ningún otro restaurante soy cliente de hace años y cada vez que voy a Londres voy a este restaurante con amigos familia y con mi pareja, siempre que llevó a alguien se lo muestro orgulloso y a todo el mundo le encanta recomendable 100x100

I've been here loads of times and every time the food is fantastic. The only down side is the limited space, so I recommend you book, you will not be disappointed

What a fabulous meal - I had the Chicken Thighs with a bean and tomato salad with crushed garlic roast potatoes, my Son has Peri Peri chicken with Fries, we had tomato and basil flat bread to share. excellent food and service, would definately recommend. Meal for 2 and 2 soft drinks £38.00 but worth it.

tuvimos una cena temprano así que el restaurante no estaba lleno. Empezamos con un aperitivo de aceitunas. Nunca había tenido buena aceitunas desearía obtener a casa. tuve ravioli rellenos con buena- ¡tan ricotta y espárragos. Está en una gran ubicación para el distrito de los teatros y sólo para sentarse y disfrutar de una buena comida al final del día

Esto ha convertido rápidamente nuestro restaurante regular pre-matinée cuando en el Shaftesbury Avenue/Charing Cross Road. Se pone muy concurrido, por lo que normalmente llegar justo después de las 12 del mediodía, más tarde y probablemente es mejor reservar. La comida es excelente (me encanta el y tomate de pesto pan), generalmente un buen servicio y una buena relación calidad-precio. decir que en general un buen servicio, porque por desgracia, esta vez (sábado 6 abril), el servicio no estaba a su nivel normal - mi plato de entrante fue tomada mientras todavía estaba comiendo - aunque picaduras especiales, pero es un real no-no, y la misma camarera podría haber hecho con poner una sonrisa en su cara. I normalmente Mark este restaurante 5 de 5, pero no en esta ocasión, porque del servicio.

Lo que un encantador restaurante. El personal era muy amable y muy atento. Estuvimos más de una hora tarde para nuestro reservado mesa debido a un atasco, pero fueron muy comprensivos y se aseguraron que nuestra comida fue servido con prontitud darnos tiempo suficiente para...

This has always been one of favorite little Italian restaurants in London. The name changed in May 2012, but not much else. It is always crowded at dinner when we go there, so reservations are recommended. My wife particularly loves their Pesto Linguini and garlic bread.

Prices look OK but pizza was lots of bread (cheap) and not much topping (expensive stuff). Dessert was very small on a very large plate. Service slow. They seem to be more interested in selling bread and olives and starters that giving good service. Seemed to be recently refurbished so they are trying to maximise profit at the customers expense. Wish we had gone elsewhere.

Visited many times in 1990s and early 2000s, but quality has gone downhill. So sad, cuz it was one of our favorite dining places. Oh well, on to new horizons

I ate here twice in the past week. The first time was quite good. Service good. Food enjoyable. Nice wine. The second time was a disappointment. Service slow and curt. Food horrible - had carbonara, the bacon was burned and there was no salt in it. The wine was nice again! Pity.

Typical Italian menu. Reasonably priced and well cooked. Staff friendly and attentive.

Lovely pre show pizza in the really lovely area of Seven Dials. Staff were very friendly and it was quite reasonably priced too.

We found this restaurant last year when in London and had a great meal so made a point of eating there again. We ended up eating there twice. Both times the food was terrific and the service attentive. The food is not terribly imaginative but what they do serve is excellent. I had chicken and my husband had pasta each time which he said was exactly what he wanted and was super. It’s a fairly small place but nice and intimate with windows on 2 sides of the restaurant. Excellent choice and we’ll be back.

After picking up our tickets for Rock of Ages (see my review for this also), we were looking for a place for dinner and found Cafe Pasta. It's very tiny, but with a nice atmosphere. Luckily we got here early enough and got the last table--later people were turned away because there wasn't enough room. The garlic bread was amazing, and the pizza was the best I've had outside of Italy!! We also split a few desserts that were all delicious. I would definitely go back!

Joined a group of 6 for Saturday catchup. 3 of the 6 hot starters were cold - FAIL. Sent them back & went hungry. Mains came out together. Pasta was dry & uninspiring. Food was generally luke warm. FAIL.Decided on 3 deserts, 1 arrived very quickly was good. Waited 30 mins for 2 others (ice-cream & a Waffle). Ice cream was ok, waffle was, no surprise cold and un-edible. By this time 2+ hours there we had already paid and were running out. COMPLETE FAIL.

wether food or service, they make no effort to deliver something decent. poor value for money, uninspring bland tasting food, long waiting times. no passion behind it. what a pitty, it looked so cozy and friendly.

My wife and I spent last week-end in London, we took in a show on the Tues evening, "Les Mis" (fantastic) and decided to go to the Cafe Pasta in Shaftsbury Avenue on the Friday night as we have many fond memories of using this restaurant when we both lived in London on our way home from work.We were shown to a table directly in front of the door so that everytime the door opened you were subject to a cold blast of wind and Friday night was cold, the restaurant was full so this was accepted. We ordered two starters, olives and warm bread with dipping oil, the wine arrived and with-in one minute so did the main courses we had ordered.WEexplained to the waitress that we had just that minute received the starters and would like time to eat them first, she took both plates away placed them on the counter and walked off. A male waiter then picked them up and returned them to our table, we explained again to him that we had just received our starters and wine and would like to have some time to enjoy them with our wine. The table is approx 27 inches square and with wine, glasses, and three plates with starters I was some what at a loss where they would have put them, he took the two main courses back to the kitchen and approx 15 minutes later one cleared away the starter plates and another reappeared with the mains. Both plates were stone cold as was the pasta's, I informed the male waiter who placed his hand on the plate, agreed and took them both away, before he did I was confident of what was about to happen and using my fork spread some of the sauce on the lip of the plate. Sure enough the plates returned in 5 minutes and the smeared sauce was baked hard, a sign the plate had been in a micro-wave, my wife had had a pasta with fresh rocket this was now cooked, not wilted but cooked. Both pasta's were hot in the centre but cold on the outside. We refused to accept them and asked for the bill, no apology was forth coming in fact the attitude of two of the staff was we were being problematic, during the whole of the time spent in the place we felt as if the aim was get them in and get them out, we need the table. We used to use this restaurant on average once a week some times twice, the service was good the food typical Italian pasta and you were allowed to enjoy your meal at your pace. I would add when we left this restaurant we went to the "Soho Pizza" on Beak Street, the service was excellent, the pizzas were HOT, freshly baked and tasty, we were left to enjoy the food and live jazz in peace. The next time we come to London for a week-end, Cafe Pasta is off the list and Soho Pizza on, it is such a shame as we have fond memories of good nights spent in there.

This is a small restaurant with excellent food actually staffed by Italians, the service has always been efficient and pleasant, the food is well priced we have used it often and have never been disappointed. Recently we had to wait for a table to become available but sat outside having a beer and were served promptly when one became available within 8 to 10 minutes, but with views into Monmouth street and Shaftsbury Avenue watching the world pass by was no real problem.

Good honest food at reasonable prices. Has a fast food feel to it and the music they play is probably streamed directly from the music channel. The staff were quick, but inexplicably rude.

Bustling Italian restaurant on edge of Theatreland serving tasty food. Good value lunchtime and early evening menus.Despite being very busy, we were served promptly and efficiently and really enjoyed our meals.The street level section of the restaurant looks out onto Shaftesbury Avenue on one side and Monmouth Street on the other, giving plenty of people watching opportunities. There's also a large basement dining area, which wasn't in use on the evening we visited.Staff told us the restaurant was due to close in November 2011 but would be reopening under a different name, also offering Italian meals.

We choose Cafe&Pasta due to the discount of the London Pass. First from the outside it looked closed but downstairs the restaurant is nice and stylish. The service was ok but not great. Now to the meals. There was no flavour in my “Shredded chicken Penne“. The “Mixed leaves“ was a very little portion. The Lasagne of my gilfriend was good but nothing special. With the discount of the London pass it was a nice try but without the discount too expensive for the provided meals and service.

we went to the cafe pasta for a early evening meal the restaurant was not busy we ordered olives & garlic bread and drinks till we ordered off the menu we ordered starters and main course my wife's starter came I'am still waiting I told her to start still no sign of my starter my wife told the waiter he took her starter away and brought back the too main courses we tried to explain about the starter they said sorry and took it of the bill sorry in my eyes is not good enough the restaurant was not busy very poor service

Five of us ate at this resteaurant each having different dishes. All of the food was of very good quality served at a very reasonable price for the location. They also accept the Gourmant card so our food was discounted. early of the staff were plesat, polite ad eager to serve accept one female member of staff who was abrupt, made no eye contact and was ufriendly in her manner. It was a shame this one member of staff put a cloud over our visit, I did mention to the manager how this girl needs to smile and be respectful to customers. I would definitely visit this resteraunt again.

Firstly I have to say that we got 50% off food with a tastelondon card which made this restaurant great value for money, but even without that I'd have still probably rated it the same. The food was really nice, great flavours. Only think was my pasta portion was a little on the small side. Had a gorgeous cheesecake for dessert too! Would definitely recommend, especially before going to the theatre as we did as it's close to Covent Garden/Leicester Square.

My partner and I were in London last weekend staying at The Covent Garden Hotel, and had tickets to see the musical Hairspray (fabulous show, go see it !!). However we wanted to find somewhere very close to both hotel and theatre, and a place we could eat fairly early since the show started at 7.30 pm. Café Pasta fitted the billed perfectly. About 1 minute away from our hotel (it has entrances from Shaftesbury Avenue and Monmouth Street), Café Pasta is a little jewel of a restaurant. Crucial word here is ‘little’ because it is a very small restaurant (I believe there are tables downstairs but we never saw those), however it didn’t feel crowded – just intimate. Food was traditional Italian, top class, delicious and big servings – I wanted to sample the Baked Waffle dessert but, being too stuffed from main course, had to settle for a sublime Sicilian Lemon sorbet ! Price was quite reasonable for London - £78 for two including wine and coffee. Our only negative comment was that since our table was very close to one of the doors (and it was a very cold night), everytime someone opened the door we were both subjected to a terrific icy blast. Since place is so small and busy, a reservation (can be done online) is a very good idea. Must mention our waiter (unfortunately didn’t get his name) – young Italian, drop dead gorgeous guy who really made the evening a lovely and memorable experience.

We didn't have much time before a show so were keen to find a restaurant able to seat us immediately without reservation rather than wait 40 minutes plus.Cafe Pasta were happy to sit down and the food was good. I had a nice pizza with fresh ingredients and my girlfriend enjoyed her risotto. We're glad we found it.

We chose this restaurant as it was close to our hotel and looked busy. It is only a small place, but has a very cozy feel to it - nice for a meal for 2. The food was simple, homely, italian range and everything we had was beautifully fresh and piping hot. Don't miss the baked waffle dessert! We paid approx £50 for 3 courses and a drink each - Fantastic value for money in London.
