Tucked away in three buzzing corners of London, Notto is quietly building a reputation as one of the city’s go-to spots for seriously good pasta without the fuss. Inspired by the laid-back trattorias of Italy, the restaurant brings a fresh, modern energy to classic Italian cooking, with silky handmade pasta, punchy sauces and warm hospitality all taking centre stage.
The menu leans into regional Italian flavours, celebrating the kind of dishes Italians actually eat every day. Think rich slow-cooked ragù folded through perfectly al dente tagliatelle, glossy cacio e pepe with just the right hit of black pepper, and comforting bowls of pesto pasta that taste like summer in Liguria. Even the focaccia deserves its own spotlight — fluffy, golden and dangerously moreish.
What makes Notto stand out is its effortless style. It feels relaxed and unfussy, but the food has real pedigree behind it. The restaurant was created by chef Phil Howard, whose love for simple, ingredient-led Italian cooking shines through in every dish. Nothing is overcomplicated; everything is about balance, flavour and good produce.
For anyone looking for a brilliant daytime food stop, the current Lunchissimo! offer is hard to ignore. Available during lunch, diners can choose any pasta on the menu alongside a small green salad and Notto’s famous focaccia for just £13.75 per person. In a city where lunch prices can quickly spiral, it feels like a genuine little win.
Whether it’s a quick midweek lunch, a catch-up with friends or a solo pasta moment, Notto delivers the kind of comforting Italian food that keeps people coming back for another bowl.
