If you're as yet unfamiliar with the restaurant, ...

We can't quite believe it's been 10 years since Padella first roared onto the London restaurant scene. The idea of well-priced, freshly made pasta dishes in a modern setting blew our tiny London minds at the time and set the scene for a perma-queue that pretty much remains at its OG Borough Market restaurant to this day.

Now the duo behind it, Tim Siadatan and Jordan Frieda (and also co-owners of Islington's Trullo),

Pasta restaurant Bancone already has four restaurants across town (Soho, Covent Garden, Kensington and Borough), and now it looks like they're getting ready to open a fifth.

Slowly but surely, some notably interesting restaurants have been opening around High Street Kensington station. We had the excellent Krokodilos fairly recently and now Bancone have picked the area for their fourth location.

If you're unfamiliar with Bancone, they're predominantly

Amidst a sea of luxury openings comes a well-priced Soho spot that wants to make sitting down for a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine an easy, fun thing to do. We find that 27 Old Compton Street is very much to our taste.

But while this new restaurant may share a naming convention with its sibling restaurants, it's going to be quite a different beast.

The new spot is focusing on quick pasta - think of

Cementing London's current love affair with all things Italian American is new East London restaurant Senza Fondo, a self-styled 'premiumised lasagneria'. The concept is all about big plates and communal dining with the key offering being an all-you-can eat lasagna for just £20.

Cafe Kitty only lasted nine months as the Soho Underbelly Bouevard's dining spot, but now another high-profile restaurant is giving it a shot.  This time, it's Peckham's Artusi (also behind Marcella in Deptford), who will be taking it on as Artusi
