Cafe Pasta - Shaftesbury Avenue

Stopped in for lunch as we were shopping in the area. It was very busy but a nice atmosphere and attentive staff. We both had the Carbonara which was a very generous portion and lovely. Creamy and salty, but not overpowering, highly recommended. A glass of Sauvingnon Blanc from the wine list was also really nice. Though the wine list is not extensive.

As written by my 10yr old and 7yr old The food was really good. I loved my pepperoni pizza and the chocolate brownie was really delicious and warm. The tomato penne pasta was SO delicious. I could eat it everyday. Service was really good. Food came out quick and it's really good you have a kids menu with activities. BUT, you forgot the pens. So we couldn't colour or do the puzzles. The atmosphere is nice. We sat downstairs, and I think they could make it a bit more modern. The seats we sat in were really good, but for adults it would be too high. I would definitely come back here just for the chocolate brownie.

First visit to this restaurant. Wow was not disappointed. We was luck enough to visit when the weather was good. There was tables outside. We sat indoors. The staff were fantastic. They gave a good amount of time to allow us to choose our food and drinks. The food was fantastic. Not one of the party could find a fault. The starters, mains and desserts were perfect. There was no rush to the service. We ended with a cheeky cocktail. Price wise it is what you would expect. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service from Alina, Isabella and Ashfer. Ok pork ribs, they were a tad bit dry as if they'd been already cooked and just reheated, and had just been slathered with BBQ sauce to try and mask the dryness (2/5). Good sweet potato fries (4/5). Excellent desserts of Panna cotta with mixed berries compote, sticky toffee pudding, lemon torte, and DF coconut cookies and cream DF cheesecake version (5/5).
