"The problem with eating out these days is that all too often you’re obliged to share. It starts with “ooh shall we order a few things and have a bit of everything” and ends in your far superior choice (the signature agnolotti) being ravaged by animals (your friends), and basically getting two bites to yourself. This is a problem we’ve had at Shoreditch’s Burro e Salvia before, and we’ve solved it by having a lovely time on our own. Although there are only five pastas on per day at this little slip of a restaurant, they’re handmade in front of you, and getting some fresh pappardelle to go from the takeaway counter up front is always a good idea." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
