Al Dente Fitzrovia is an Italian pastificio and restaurant at 51 Goodge Street. Fresh pasta is made for dishes served in the dining room or prepared to take away, reflecting the everyday pasta shops found across Italy. The menu moves between well known classics and less familiar regional recipes, supported by a casual setting that works for lunch and dinner.
Antipasti include homemade focaccia and breadsticks, tomato bruschetta and a selection of arancini filled with cacio e pepe, amatriciana or beef ragù. Burrata with Parma ham, piadina and baked vegetable dishes bring meat, cheese and vegetables into the opening selection. Seasonal specials introduce additional ingredients when they are at their best.
Pasta choices include tonnarelli cacio e pepe, spaghettoni carbonara, rigatoni amatriciana, paccheri with beef ragù and fusilli with basil pesto. Different shapes are paired with sauces chosen to cling to their ridges, tubes or long strands. Seafood, vegetable and slow cooked meat specials broaden the range beyond the permanent Roman favourites.
Roman pinsa, lasagne and aubergine parmigiana offer alternatives to a bowl of fresh pasta. Desserts such as tiramisu and changing pastries complete the meal, with espresso and other Italian coffee available afterwards. Wine, beer and soft drinks support a quick plate at lunch or a longer evening meal, while the takeaway range lets diners bring fresh pasta and sauces home.
