Pasta Evangelists arrives on New Oxford Street

Pasta Evangelists has announced the opening of three new London restaurants between now and the end of the year, marking the next step in its ambitious plan to open 100 restaurants across the UK over the next five years.

The first of the new sites, Pasta Evangelists New Oxford Street, will officially mark its opening with a Pasta Party and DJ for all diners from 5:30 – 9pm today, Wednesday 1st October. Diners will receive free prosecco with dine-in meals until the end of October.

The brand-new restaurant will serve up Pasta Evangelists’ most famous and delicious fresh pasta dishes – including Ragù alla Bolognese, Carbonara of Dreams, Beef Agnolotti and many more – to hungry diners looking for a leisurely meal after some retail therapy, those looking for a fast, fresh option in their lunchbreak, or even a pre-show dinner for a night at the theatre.

The new location will also offer classes at the highly rated Pasta Academy, where guests can learn from in-house Italian chefs how to make fresh pasta dishes from ravioli to tagliatelle, all while enjoying unlimited prosecco!

The West End was once the heart of London’s Italian community in the late 19th century, with a vibrant hub of food shops, bars, and restaurants. This was where London learned to love true Italian flavours, and so the New Oxford Street restaurant calls back to where London’s Italian food love affair started.

The restaurant on New Oxford Street will be closely followed this autumn by branches in Queensway and Chelsea. The new openings follow a wave of growth for the business, which recently announced its plan to expand and open 100 restaurants across the UK within five years, creating up to 1,500 jobs in the process.

Finn Lagun, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Pasta Evangelists, commented: “Every new restaurant is an opportunity to share our passion for fresh, artisanal pasta with even more people across the UK. But more than that, our restaurants are also about creating memorable experiences – from our pasta parties to our pasta-making courses. The best part is that these new restaurants will be with us just in time for our new Christmas menu that will feature some incredibly exciting new product development. Watch this space!”
