If you’re into spending £19 on three wafer-thin shards of ravioli drowning in sauce, Gourmet Pasta might be your thing. The pasta was paper-thin and barely filled, overwhelmed by a pool of sauce clearly designed to force you into buying their overpriced bread just to mop it up. Not to mention the charming addition of a couple complimentary head hairs—a garnish, perhaps?
Gourmet Pasta Co.Responded on May 16, 2025
Hi Charlie, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations. We take all guest comments seriously and want to clarify a few points you raised. Our ravioli portions include many more than three pieces, each hand-crafted and individually weighed to ensure consistent filling and quality. We also wanted to note that some of our fresh sauces are garnished with micro herbs and fresh, finely julienned sage leaves which can sometimes resemble thin strands. We will review our plating presentation however in view of your comments. We would always hope that our guests feel comfortable raising any concerns at the time with our front of house team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and change your mind.

As ever, excellent food across all three courses: the sorrentinos (very large ravioli) of whichever colour are amazing with a great range for vegetarians, vegans and carnivores alike. Fantastic service and at a very reasonable price per head.

The pasta here is so amazing. You can really tell it’s fresh and home made. The sauces are delicious too. There are other choices on the menu as well but you really should try the pasta as it’ll be better than you’ve ever tasted before.

Brilliant pasta that’s different and much better than your generic Zizzi or Ask Italian offering. Staff were also lovely. They also do takeaway pasta kits if you don’t fancy cooking but want something nice and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back.
