A sleek, whitewashed warehouse space in Shad Thames serving seasonal pasta that rivals the city's best without the hype.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is concise and changes seasonally. Portions are refined, so order a starter, a pasta, and a dessert per person.
What to order
Pappardelle with Fennel Sausage Ragù and Cavolo Nero
Described as the 'main event,' these broad, al dente ribbons are wrapped in a rich ragù that critics call 'meaty, carb-laden goodness.'
Cuttlefish with White Beans and Devil’s Mortar
A 'bowl of chilli-infused comfort' that verges on a stew, combining tender fish, pulses, and spicy spreadable sausage for a highly satisfying, substantial dish.
Cannoli
Critics insist you must 'go to Legare for their cannolis,' describing the ricotta-pumped, pistachio-studded pastry as pure 'bliss.'
Pici in Burro e Oro Sauce
A 'simple thing' with a 'lasting impact,' this hand-rolled fat spaghetti in a 'butter and gold' onion and tomato sauce is praised for its deep joy and nostalgic flavour.
