Padella serves fresh, handmade pasta, rolled each day, at prices that keep the queue going all day. The menu is short, with dishes such as pici cacio e pepe and slow-cooked beef shin pappardelle, and there are tables upstairs and at the counter downstairs. Expect to queue at peak times. London Bridge station is a short walk away, and it is a natural stop on a visit to Borough Market and the riverside.
