Fasta Fresh Pasta Bar — Restaurant in London

I will start with it - overall it is a cute pasta place🍝. Our family decided to check out this pasta spot ( they have more options rather then pasta but we went for the pasta and hey,their name is Fasta Fresh Paste Bar😉) and it had a pretty cute vibe. We ordered a variety of pasta, the ravioli was actually pretty good, they have few fillings like ricotta and mushrooms or 4 cheese and you could tell they used fresh pasta, which we appreciated. The cool thing was you could pick your pasta type and sauce. The cream sauce was tasty, but the tomato sauce was kinda of plain, more like something you'd whip up at home. Disappointingly, the supposed chili sauce lacked any discernible heat, so we asket for more chilli,the dried chili spice the gave, failed to salvage the dish. It's clear they missed the mark on their chili spice selection. Dessert was nice though, especially the pistachio ice cream. Our waitress was super friendly and positive, which was a plus. This Pasta place had a good variety of starters, and the halloumi bite and cheese bite with their special sauce was seriously amazing. Overall, it had its ups and downs. Not cheap for what you gets. The fresh pasta and friendly service were great, but the plain sauces and high prices were a bit...

I am totally confused how anyone can enjoy the bog standard overpriced food. The future is very predictable establishment. How many times can you get away with ripping people off? When I informed the waitress about the cheese ravioli being served cold, she just shrugged it off, why was the ravioli served cold? because the chef had cooked the ravioli first but forgot to cook the chicken schnitzel so the waitress took the ravioli away from our table so she could add the chicken schnitzel to the ravioli, well 10 minutes had gone by & we are still waiting, in the mean time, our food is getting cold because we are waiting for my sister's ravioli to arrive so we can all eat together, as we did all arrive together, I thought it would be a good idea if we all ate together. They had the cheek to charge me £11.00 service charge. If any of my customers have genuine complaints, I always give them 50% off the food so to make happy & make sure that give us another go, its very hard to keep a customer but very easy to lose. Live & learn, another good...

I used to be a huge fan of this place and I had one of the best evenings out there in September - delicious food, great wine and amazing service.

However, I recently went and wondered if the owners or chef had changed as the atmosphere, food and service was a strange pastiche of the original. Last time the house white wine had paired immaculately with the food, however this was too sweet! The first dish we had had the same crema pesto delicious sauce, but was far too aldente and disappointing. The second - tagliatelle with olive oil, garlic and chili was the downfall and seemed sad and cold. Our "side" of "golden gnocchi" was hardly golden and was crispy and the size of a main. The basic flavours of all the food were very good, but it was the texture of the pasta that was so disappointing.

Furthermore, they blasted Taylor Swift throughout our meal which I did not appreciate.

However, I do believe that if the quality of the pasta had been higher this would be a 4-5...
