Pasta e Pizza by Eataly is an Italian restaurant inside Eataly London at 135 Bishopsgate. The restaurant celebrates two of Italy’s best known foods through dough leavened for 50 hours and pasta cooked until properly firm. Its position within Eataly’s large food market brings the dining experience close to Italian bakers, producers, wines and specialist ingredients.
Antipasti range from fried baby squid and crisp potatoes to olives, focaccia and bread with extra virgin olive oil. Bruschetta can be topped with tomato and basil, mortadella with stracciatella and pistachio or prawns with stracciatella and avocado. A board of Italian cured meat and cheese offers an easy plate to share before the pizza and pasta arrive.
Pasta covers regional classics such as rigatoni carbonara with guanciale, egg and Pecorino Romano, amatriciana with tomato and black pepper, and tagliatelle with slowly cooked beef ragù. Spaghetti Eataly keeps the combination simple with datterino tomatoes, basil and olive oil. Seasonal recipes add further variety, including Southern Italian flavours built around aubergine, courgette, seafood, chilli and fresh cheese.
The wood fired pizzas include Margherita, Napoli with anchovies and capers, Diavola with spicy salami and Capricciosa with artichokes, mushrooms, olives and ham. More elaborate choices combine nduja with burrata or use fried aubergine and Parmigiano Reggiano. Tiramisu, cannoli, gelato, sorbet and affogato finish the meal, while a broad Italian wine selection supports anything from a quick lunch to a longer dinner.
