Noci Pasta now open on Richmond Hill

Looking for a fun yet informal place to celebrate a low-key hen celebration? Modern pasta restaurant, Noci, recently opened its doors on Richmond Hill in Surrey. Serving fresh, seasonal pasta dishes, Sicilian-street food-inspired snacks, and cocktails, Noci's laid-back design, quality pasta and affordability make it a great spot for diners, D

ishes are made using ingredients from producers and artisans across Europe and the chefs have taken inspiration from their heritage and travels throughout Italy to design a menu of classics, with a focus on seasonality that comes through in the fresh pasta and small plates.

Signature dishes include the silk handkerchiefs, a Noci staple that gets a seasonal twist, and the veal and pork Genovese ragu with Monks' head cheese, which is served tableside. Noci's signature brown butter cacio e pepe ziti, a foodie's favourite, sits alongside dishes like the tiger prawn gnochetti with roasted red peppers, orange and tarragon. Focaccia is baked in the kitchen daily, perfect for nibbling on while choosing from small dishes like Nduja arancini with parmesan foam. Noci's dessert selection includes lemon and yoghurt bodino, or the plant-based chocolate mousse with olive oil, Maldon sea salt and Marcona almonds.

Noci's drinks menu offers a range of Italian wines and seasonal spritzes. Classic cocktails include Tommy's Margarita, house Negroni and a summery Grapefruit & Elderflower Spritz. The weekday lunch menu includes a drink, focaccia and pasta for just £15. Parties and groups of up to 18 people can celebrate in style with a three-course sharing menu featuring nine different dishes, plus snacks for £40 per head.
