... - 27 Old Compton Street is aiming to be Soho's hot new pasta bar
He already has two more Italian restaurants in Soho named after the street they're in, so when restaurateur Nima Safaei came around to giving his latest opening a moniker he stayed true to form, naming it after its address on Compton Street. But while this new restaurant may share a naming convention with its sibling restaurants, it's going to be quite a different beast.
The new spot is focusing on quick pasta - think of

The concept is all about big plates and communal dining with the key offering being an all-you-can eat lasagna for just £20.

... - Pastino brings fast, fresh pasta to Fitzrovia
London loves a fresh pasta restaurant and this new opening on Tottenham Court Road looks worth keeping an eye on. Pastino comes from Franco Manca alumnus Ahmos Wasif and it's been inspired by his trips to Italy and a desire to bring traditional Neapolitan, Sicilian and Roman pasta to London, with an emphasis on value.
It also leans towards more of a fast-food meets fresh pasta operation than we've
