Aglio Olio Peperoncino

At our counter, 123 City Road, London EC1V 1JB, two minutes from Old Street station. We extrude the pasta on site every morning and cook the dish to order, from £7.90. The website does not take orders — come to the counter, call us on 020 3838 2015, or use Deliveroo or Uber Eats.

Garlic and chilli in olive oil, with parsley and cherry tomatoes. There is nothing hiding in it, which is why it is only worth eating on pasta made the same morning. Cooked to order. Ready in minutes.

Vegan as served. There is no egg in the dough — semolina and water only — and the sauce is olive oil based. Parmesan is served beside the dish rather than stirred into it, so you can leave it off. Our kitchen handles gluten, nuts, dairy, egg and crustaceans.

Whichever you like. You pick the shape and the sauce separately at the counter, from bigoli, spaghetti, penne, rigatoni, fusilli and fettuccine. Spaghetti and bigoli are the usual picks for this one.

From £7.90 at the counter. An X-Large portion is +£2 on any pasta.

We do gluten-free penne, cooked in separate water, and this sauce is olive oil based. Our kitchen still handles gluten, nuts, dairy, egg and crustaceans, so we are not a gluten-free kitchen and we cannot guarantee against cross-contact — tell us before you order and we will talk you through it.
