Pre-theatre dining · Piccadilly & Covent Garden

Pasta before the curtain.

Two NOTTOs, both a few minutes' walk from the West End's theatres. Fresh pasta by Michelin-starred chef Phil Howard, the Supper Club set menu all evening, and a kitchen that knows what time your show starts.

Dinner and a show. In that order.

01
When

Arrive between 5 and 6.30 at either restaurant and you'll make a 7.30 curtain with time to spare. Fresh pasta is quick by nature, so an early dinner here doesn't mean a rushed one.

02
The menu

Supper Club runs all evening: two courses £19.50, three for £24.50. The full winter menu is there too, from the pumpkin ravioli to the short rib pappardelle. Come in before 5 and Lunchissimo is on at £14.85.

03
How long

Fresh pasta cooks in minutes. Allow 45 minutes to an hour. Tell us your curtain time when you book and we'll pace it.

04
Book

Tables between 5 and 7pm go quickly, especially at weekends. Book online and pop your show and curtain time in the notes.

Good to know

Pre-theatre, answered.

Is there a pre-theatre menu?

Supper Club is on all evening at both restaurants: two courses £19.50, three for £24.50. The full winter menu runs alongside it, and Lunchissimo is on until 5pm if you can get in early, at £14.85.

Will we make the show?

Fresh pasta is fast food in the best sense. Allow 45 minutes to an hour, tell us your curtain time when you book, and we'll make sure you're out with time to find your seats.

Do we need to book?

We'd recommend it between 5 and 7pm, and especially at weekends. Book online and add the show and curtain time to the notes, or call the restaurant.

What about after the show?

Kitchens close at 9pm Monday to Saturday and 8pm on Sunday, so we're a before-the-show place rather than an after. Matinee crowd, come for Lunchissimo instead: your choice of pasta, our small side salad and focaccia, £14.85 from midday to 5pm.

Larger groups?

Theatre trips with the office, a birthday, a school party that's outgrown pizza: private dining and group bookings are very much a thing.
