Restaurant Bacone is London's pasta heaven
Let's face it, everyone is actually happy with a plate of pasta. At least we do anyway! But you have tasty pasta, and you have the pasta from Bancone in London. That's really heavenly. Fresh handmade pasta is made every day in the Bancone kitchen for dishes inspired by Italy, London and Europe. And not unimportantly, it is also reasonably priced for a restaurant in London!

The essence of the restaurant is simple: good pasta, tasty wines and an attractive restaurant. You have to be lucky to get a spot. It is even so popular that you can find an article on the Bancone website entitled 'Insider tips to getting a seat at Bancone…' Don't worry, because if you book in time you can certainly arrange a table. The real daredevils go on spec, who knows, maybe they will hit it in one go.
There are two Bancone restaurants in central London. The story started at the Covent Garden location that opened its doors in 2018 and not much later a second restaurant followed around the corner from Piccadilly Circus. The decor is attractive and modern, really a place where you want to stay all evening. Whether you are with family, a date or a large group, you will immediately feel at home here.
Although the choice per course is not huge (think of 4 different aperitifs and starters, 8 pasta dishes and 3 different desserts), choosing your dish is definitely not an easy task. You will find something for everyone: from fish to meat, from vegetables to the classic cacio e pepe. Luckily, Bancone's Instagram is here to help you choose the perfect plate. The photos from their page deserve a place in a museum and are dangerous territory for the hungry among us.
Is a visit to London not yet planned? No problem, because you can also recreate Bancone's recipes from home with a little time and love. So take a quick look at the website for example, the 'top 3 vegan pasta recipes' or the 'recipe for Peanut Butter Panna Cotta'. One thing is for sure: whether you visit the restaurant or roll up your sleeves in the kitchen yourself: this pasta will make you very happy.
