Notto Pasta Bar Piccadilly is a relaxed Italian restaurant at 198 Piccadilly in St James’s. The concept concentrates on pasta, focaccia and carefully chosen ingredients, delivering polished cooking in an approachable room that works equally well for a quick lunch or an unhurried evening meal.
Fresh pasta changes with the seasons, moving between giant rigatoni with cacio e pepe, pappardelle with slow cooked beef, lamb ravioli with peas and mint, and dark tagliolini with prawns and chilli. Gnocchetti, bucatini and filled pasta provide contrasting shapes, textures and sauces across the compact selection.
Rosemary focaccia, olives and house dips are useful before the pasta, while Italian tomato salads, Parma ham and vegetable led plates add freshness. Tiramisu, panna cotta and chocolate crémeux complete the food, with concise lunch and evening combinations offering particularly straightforward ways to order.
Italian wine, prosecco, beer and classic cocktails such as the Negroni, Bellini and Aperol spritz accompany the menu. Reservations and walk in tables keep the restaurant flexible, and the central position near the Royal Academy makes it useful before a gallery visit, theatre performance or evening in the West End.
