Scrummy Pasta

Had a really delicious couple of dishes here back in Summer 2022 using a code from TLLV. I think this is a little bit on the pricier side without said code - but still excellent value compared to the nearby restaurants - and you have to remember where you are, Central London rents don't come cheap! I remember the pasta being super creamy and the dessert being super chocolatey and I will definitely try and get back here again in 2023.

You need to visit!

Really good food and nice staff!
For 5 stars the restaurant could have a more ”cosier” style.

Tasty - especially the desserts

So nice to find a place that is 100% vegan. The pasta is really tasty, I've now been 3 times and have always enjoyed it. The mushroom one is creamy. Sometimes dishes can be slightly too salty, and I personally prefer spicier dishes, but service is quick and who doesn't love fresh pasta!! The wall decorations won't appeal to all, but it is an interesting place for sure.
I was a bit surprised to see staff leaving the door fully open on such a cold day (4 degrees outside) whilst the heating was on full blast inside. Their menu says that they take climate change seriously...
Apart from the small issues above, I'd recommend. Their desserts are truly delicious.

Pros: Fully vegan, Quick service, Delicious puddings

Cons: Mains can be slightly too salty/bland, Odd choice of decor

Oh, okay. I'm looking at photos on their Google listing and I think I see what you mean.

So good we ate here twice

My wife and I were thrilled to find this vegan restaurant near our hotel. Don't be put off by the punk vibe. The food is delicious and the staff are great. We had a Cesar salad and spaghetti with meatballs. It was so good we returned about a week later and ordered the same dishes!

Pros: Excellent food, Great location, Friendly staff

Cons: Can't think of any cons

Bit of overdramatic.

To people reading this. This is genuinely one of the best pastas I've had, vegan or not.
If the menu is unclear (which I don't think it is) the staff is very friendly and could help with any issue anyway.

Lovely food, great portions

The food here is really good. Some reviews mention small portions, but that wasn’t our experience. Had the cheesy garlic bread - superb bread - magic mushroom parpadelle and spicy chicken pasta, all excellent. Music way way too loud for a Sunday lunchtime. Would come back but the volume means it won’t be in a hurry.

Pros: Vegan, Good choice, Like the venue - spacious

Cons: Too noisy, Serving staff don’t write down orders

Amazing!!

I’m so pleased we went here. I’d definitely recommend and go again.

We had the bruschetta and cheesy garlic bread, meatballs, chicken pasta and kids cheesy spaghetti.

We even stayed for dessert. Daughter had chocolate ice cream, I had berry ice cream and crumbled.

Decent

Punk Pasta had a good vibe and nice staff. The food is worth checking out, though mainly for the starters and desserts! Would revisit if we're in the area, but wouldn't go out of our way.

Pros: Fresh vegan pasta, Great selection of starters, Desserts!

Cons: Mains weren't as good as the starters, Average cocktails

Overpriced but good

Pasta is the new pizza. Cheap ingredients, small plate, hefty bill. Good food, but ain't no health food. My mushroom dish had virtually no mushrooms in it. I guess there was no mushroom on the plate left after all that pasta. I would eat here again, but I wouldn't rush to do so

Pros: Tasty, Attentive staff, Clean

Cons: Expensive for a bowel of pasta, Small-medium sized portion, Punk as something not very punky at all.

Yummy pasta

Pasta was great here with lots of options. Also had homemade bread and oil. Only complaint was that the dish was very salty and also that everything was homemade - bread and pasta, but the cheese was just violife grated. This was bit disappointing as I’m sure it said vegan mozzarella and I would have hoped for something more artisan. That said I would come again and all in all a good new place on the vegan scene!

Best vegan pasta I’ve ever had

I got the red conchiglie pasta, and I was a bit hesitant to order it because I’m extremely picky about my pesto. But I’m so glad I did because the pasta and the pesto were both outstanding! Extremely fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. We also got the cheesy garlic bread, which was a hit! Their cocktails were great too, and the staff were as nice as can be! Wish we lived in London so I could go back!

Pros: Super fresh ingredients and great flavor, Good prices , Everything about this place was awesome!

Banging mushroom pasta

Loved everything about this place. Vibe was great, food was delicious with a varied range of pastas to choose from.
My husband had the meatballs and I had the mushroom pasta. Fantastic flavours. We had a side of the cheesy garlic bread and it was all brilliant. Great service too.
Highly recommend a visit here if you’re ever in the area.

Fantastic

Had a great meal at punk pasta. I had the mushroom pasta which was delicious. The portion size was absolutely perfect - not too big. Had the berry crumble for dessert which was also lovely. Prices were very reasonable - highly recommend!

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Great portion sizes, Reasonably priced

Cons: Limited lunch menu, Don't serve larger by the pint

Great pasta!

Great restaurant, the decor was great, drinks were great and the food was great! We ordered the trio coral pasta and the magic mushroom pasta with a side of garlic bread. The garlic bread was very garlicy and cheesy, just how we like it. Unfortunately it arrived first and we devoured it before we remembered to take a picture. I also had a CBD strawberry mojito that was good. Pricing was also reasonable.

Yummy!

We took away a couple of the mains to eat in the train: the hemp pesto (spaghetti) and the magic mushrooms (pappardelle).
Both dishes were delicious!

Next time we'll probably eat-in and try their other plates including their pannacotta that sounds yummy.

Pros: good value, yummy

Friendliest staff in London

Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and happy to see us, the service was top notch and we felt like they actually wanted us to be there

Then of course the food was fantastic! The cheesy garlic bread tasted like the best garlic bread I'd ever had in my life hands down, no milk required.

We got a Groupon meal deal that let us try six dishes and it was so filling!!! We loved everything we tried, the garlic bread took first place but the magic mushrooms pasta was amazing and the nachos, dips and sundae were also delicious. Missed a picture of the sundae but still so good!

On top of all that it has a cool counter-culture punk rock aesthetic throughout the establishment and they play great music!

Would recommend to literally anyone

Excellent desserts! 4 1/2

We booked a table online and tried punk pasta for dinner. We ordered the bruschetta for an entree. This is one of the best bruschettas ever. the bruschetta had beans on top and was full of flavour. Next we had the main dishes. I ordered the vegan meatballs. The meatballs were tasty but I think there could have been a bit more flavour in the sauce. My partner had the hemp spaghetti and it got a bit tasteless towards the end. I ordered the passionfruit panacotta. It was lovely. The panacotta was a perfect texture too. My partner had the apple and berry crumble and really enjoyed it

I thought the entree and the deserts were amazing. I don’t think the mains lived up to those levels. But still very nice. Would give 4 1/2 if I could
