Padella debuts in West End

Shaftesbury Capital has announced that Padella has opened in the heart of Soho at 2 Kingly Street, marking the brand’s West End debut.

Padella – Italian for “pan” – was founded by hospitality duo Jordan Frieda and chef Tim Siadatan, with the new 2,300 sq ft Soho restaurant spanning two floors with 80 covers.

Known for its contemporary small-plates approach, Padella offers high-quality, accessible dining on Kingly Street, with signature dishes including Pici Cacio e Pepe and Beef Shin Ragu, catering to both quick visits or more relaxed occasions.

Frieda and Siadatan, said: “Inspired by our many trips to Italy, Padella was designed to celebrate the joy of simple, high-quality pasta dishes. 

"As we mark our 10th anniversary, our Soho restaurant reflects the continued growth and evolution of our concept. Bringing an affordable, fast-paced, and authentic dining experience to our guests has always been key, so opening in a location that matches our brand’s energy was essential. With its renowned and diverse food and drink scene, Soho is the perfect stage for our West End debut, and we can’t wait to share Padella with this vibrant community.”

This announcement follows the news that Vagabond Wines has signed for a Soho location at 14 – 16 Ganton Street, continuing Shaftesbury Capital’s F&B momentum.
