Nupokepasta

Nupokepasta is a restaurant in Soho, London, specialising in fresh, handmade pasta. The kitchen leans on traditional Italian pasta but gives it a modern turn. Its signature plate is a "cacio e pepe" carbonara, made with guanciale, pecorino and a secret ingredient that takes the classic somewhere new.

There is more than pasta on the menu, though. You will also find gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, ricotta and spinach tortelloni, and a rich beef bolognese, each made with the same attention to flavour. Service is friendly and prices are reasonable, and there are vegan-friendly options too. For anyone after Italian cooking with a contemporary edge in Soho, Nupokepasta is worth a look.
