Pretty's in Southwark

Only worth if the wait isn’t that long. Went to scan the QR code way before it opens and were seated and got our food by 5.30pm. Overall, the pasta and ingredients were fresh. Quite good.

This restaurant was excellent value for money. The servers were pleasant. They do not accept reservations, but you can join the queue by downloading the app. I entered thinking I had entered through the incorrect entrance, as the kitchen is located at the entrance. The cheese was quite tasty when paired with the bread!

Absolutely brilliant place. Hight quality homemade Pasta, incredibly tasty. It gets very busy, so you need to be aware that it could be 1h - 1.5h to get in, you need to scan a QR code on your arrival and they will let you know the waiting time. Good selection of wine and great service!

The food was indeed quite good as much as their extremely delayed waiting queues. Their customer service is fantastic and we were served by Ms Stefania who was very knowledgeable in offering us the options. The prices have been well hiked in the past few months and I am not quite sure how they rate comparing to their portion sizes as well as their wait period. I felt it was a little bit rip off for the price along with the service charges.The wine options were limited and again I found it quite on the higher side for mediocre wines. The tables by the live counter is sure a delight as I couldn’t take my eyes off the action while being seated. Overall a good try but I would appreciate it further if they do something about their list price. It’s a pleasant lively atmosphere and a fun place too.

There's a reason why this restaurant is packed every night. Just located outside Borough Market, this place is a must-go if you want to try delicious pasta at a very reasonable price. The menu is not extensive, but everything is made fresh, no microwave food here! You get a sizeable amount of pasta and it's just delicious. My friend and I shared a bruschetta, the Ravioli of Westcombe ricotta with slow cooked tomato sauce, and the Stracci with sweet onion, thyme & gorgonzola fonduta, before finishing with a slice of chocolate tart. I was a bit nervous about whether I'd like the gorgonzola, but the taste was balanced so well.How booking works:The restaurant doesn't have an online booking system in the usual sense - a QR code is placed outside the restaurant at 4.30PM sharp every day except Mondays. You'll most likely already find a queue snaking around the corner prior to 4.30PM but that's okay! The queue should move very quickly -- just make you have your phone camera ready to scan the code and enter in your details. Once the restaurant officially opens at 5PM, every booking is placed in a virtual queue and you'll see real time updates as to when your table is ready. The smaller your party, the more likely you'll be seated quicker. Once your table is ready, you'll be asked to confirm whether you're coming or not and you'll have 10 minutes to get to the front door. This system does mean there's no telling when exactly you'll be seated, but you'll have a rough idea.

Delicious pasta! Simple dishes that are so tasty. Would definitely recommend to try it. It’s not really a sit down restaurant- more of a eat and go vibe. Worth the hype it gets and reasonably priced as well

I absolutely love this place - it has some of the best pasta dishes in London. Everything we had was excellent - it's the kind of place you want to return to over and over to try multiple things and repeat favorites. The wine selection is great too, it's small but everything is good and pairs well with their dishes. Service was also great - friendly, attentive and helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Been trying for years to get a spot in here for Lunch on the weekends - finally got in and it didn’t disappoint. Make sure to order the cacio e pepe, and definitely definitely get your place in the virtual queue as early as you can. Staff great too.

We had a great time at Padella! The food was amazing, I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype but it was so nice. The service was really quick and friendly. I thought we'd have to wait ages for a table, but we just used the walkup app to queue virtually and had a drink nearby. Would definitely recommend!

Yes it could be a very long wait (1 to 1.5 hrs) to get a table after scanning the QR code but it's not that bad as one can easily stroll around the borough market area to pass time. The pasta came out delicious and flavorful. Prices are reasonable too, for London! Service was good as well. My only gripe, other than the super long wait time, is that portion sizes are small. Will come here again next time we're in the city.
