Harden's survey result
Summary
“A great place for a bowl of really well-executed pasta after a hard day’s shopping or pre-theatre”. “It’s only a shame that this Soho pasta-café is almost the only place you can now experience Stevie Parle’s lovely cooking”.
Summary
“Amazing fresh pasta that’s great value for central London” has carved a strong following for Stevie Parle’s “loud” and buzzy Kingly Court operation for a “swift”, “cheap ’n’ cheerful” bite.
For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Pastaio Restaurant Diner Reviews

"Nose diving dramatically but hopefully not beyond recovery. Staff are very hit and miss, and the pasta just isn't good enough for a restaurant doing little else. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's more like a Uni student's first attempt at a Jamie Oliver recipe. "
