The 6 best pasta restaurants in London (in my humble opinion)

The 6 best pasta restaurants in London (in my humble opinion)

Over the last decade, London has majorly upped its pasta game. Having eaten my way through the best unleavened dough the big smoke has to offer, I have managed to whittle my list down to a top 5.
