Pasta Evangelists Chiswick is a casual Italian restaurant at 340 Chiswick High Road. Opened as a neighbourhood pasta emporium, it serves fresh dishes for dining in, takeaway and collection against a soundtrack of nostalgic Italian music. Tastings, social events and pasta making classes bring an additional community element to the branch.
Focaccia, olives, burrata, charcuterie and aubergine parmigiana provide a selection of starters and sharing plates. Salads and grilled vegetables offer lighter ways to begin, while garlic prawns and meatballs add more substantial choices. The format encourages guests to combine a few small dishes before moving on to pasta.
Fresh pasta shapes are paired with sauces such as beef and Chianti ragù, carbonara, amatriciana, truffle cacio e pepe and pistachio chilli pesto. Filled pasta can bring together lobster and prawn, ricotta and spinach, or truffle and burrata. Lasagne, risotto and baked macaroni extend the selection beyond individual pasta bowls.
Italian wine, spritzes, beer and soft drinks accompany the meal, followed by tiramisu, gelato and changing sweets. Vegetarian and vegan sauces are clearly represented, and smaller dishes are available for children. The branch combines the speed of a pasta counter with the atmosphere and service of a relaxed Chiswick restaurant.
Address: 340 Chiswick High Road, Chiswick, London W4 5TA, United Kingdom
