Bancone Borough Yards

Wonderful place to have fresh pasta at very reasonable pricing in London! This one is located by the entrance of busy Borough market. Ambience was very nice, staff were so efficient and friendly. Mostly, the quality of pasta was a top notch. They make fresh pasta on site and they know how to cook perfect pastas. Handkerchief silk pasta had smooth and creamy texture and had egg on top. Never had anything like that. I loved my spaghetti w chili and garlic. It had spicy kick to it. Bucatini Cacio e Pepe was cooked perfect. Cauliflower salad was very interesting. It was sliced thinly and very tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant when you are in London.

Summary: quite nice place but the main course portions seemed very small. Food was pretty good and came in a timely manner. My big issue with it was most of our main courses had v small portions. I had a starter and main and was still pretty hungry after. Service was attentive. All questions were very well answered. Decor and surroundings were generally good but fairly loud music. Might return, not sure.

Great food and atmosphere! I’m usually quite picky about pasta, especially after visiting Capri, but I wasn’t disappointed. I decided to go vegan for Lent and was worried about limited options, but the lovely waitress recommended a delicious vegan pasta dish and dessert. Both exceeded my expectations. A fantastic experience overall!

I had a meal here w my friends and all of those pasta was amazing! Also the dessert was very unique :) staffs were super kind and the restaurant has good atmosphere too! Highly recommend this place to everyone !

Busy restaurant with a nice atmosphere on two floors. The service was quick and friendly and they were happy to explain the menu, which wasn't always clear. The food itself was fantastic though we only had bread & olives for starter and two pasta dishes for main - spicy pork ndjua ragu and the Herdwick hogget (lamb) pappardelle. Along with a couple of beers, a Moretti and a Lucky Saint alcohol free. Overall a lovely meal in a nice atmosphere and resonably priced.

Absolutely delicious pasta! We had the kombu pasta as well as the famous "silk handkerchiefs". Super flavourful, served hot and fresh, and service was great as well. Thank you for the experience, we have already recommended this to a few other friends :) P.S. recommend making a reservation in advance via their website. My husband and I sat at the bar counter which gave us a nice view of the chefs preparing the food!

Fab place to catch up with some old friends! I often avoid Italian restaurants because the menu always seems to be the same and I could make much of it myself at home. HOWEVER, it was lovely and refreshing to go somewhere that is utilising unique combinations with different ingredients, pasta shapes, and accompaniments than I am not used to seeing. The pasta was also so fresh and well cooked, plus we were seated right next to the chefs which is always lovely to watch. Plus the staff were so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great - really busy on a Thursday evening though I would definitely recommend booking ahead of time. I would 100% go back - in fact I need to because there are a couple of dishes I that we didn't order that I've decided I now need to try!

My friend and I had a lovely late lunch here and the food was all delicious. Friendly, attentive staff gave recommendations and didn't rush us despite the place being busy. Would recommend it if you're looking for elevated Italian food at a reasonable price. 7/10
