Gorgeously done. I was a bit skeptical of trying this pasta place ever since it opened, but after trying it's super flavourful, creamy and cheesy carbonara I'll definitely come back to try more of it's other pasta dishes. Staff is kind and efficient, and they can bring the pasta to you after ordering. Portions also is great value for the money compared to some other pasta takeaway joints I've tried.

Discovered and went here for the first time this evening with a friend as our usual go to spot was closed. Both the owner and waiting staff were very welcoming upon entry and throughout our visit. Food was very affordable that we ordered two each. Flavours and quality of the food were great given the prices. I really enjoyed my Classic Bolognese and Chicken Bella although I did prefer the Classic Bolognese. Will definitely return if I find myself in Kingston again.

I don’t need to say anything else about this place. I am a pasta man and seeing this place is like visiting the holy grail, or the World Cup. Either way, the portion was perfect for a perfect price and the food was amazing. Seriously, everybody has to see this place and their quality pasta needs to be tried. I am coming back again. Mark on that

An absolute must-visit in Kingston – Pasta Express delivers every time! I recently tried the Fire & Spice Arrabiata at Pasta Express Kingston, and it completely blew me away! The perfect balance of heat and flavour—spicy enough to wake up your taste buds, but not overpowering. Every bite was packed with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. What makes this place stand out is the customisation – you get to build your own pasta exactly how you like it. The variety of options is amazing, and everything is freshly prepared right in front of you. Plus, the portion sizes are generous and excellent value for money. The staff are super friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or catching up with friends, this place hits the mark. If you’re in Kingston and love pasta, Pasta Express is a no-brainer. Can’t wait to go back and try more combinations!

Freshly made pasta mixed in a cheese wheel in front of you. The salad is lovely and all ingredients were delicious. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. Staff are really friendly and service was great. Will definitely be back!

What a fantastic pasta place! Great food, fresh ingredients, made fresh, and top notch service. Hard to find these days. If you’re a fan of pasta, this place is it. Pasta is made from scratch , and the cheese they use is of the highest quality. Can tell by simply looking at it. The place seemed very clean. Taste was phenomenal. On top of this all, it’s fully halal. Can’t wait to be back!

For the best pasta in Kingston, Pasta Express is an excellent choice. Located in the Kingston Castle street, it delivers authentic Italian flavors in a charming, cozy setting. Their fresh, handmade pasta is a standout—perfectly cooked and paired with rich, flavorful sauces. The fettuccine Alfredo and lobster ravioli are especially popular, offering a balance of indulgence and freshness. The service is attentive and warm, adding to the overall experience. I tried Green pesto with Extra chicken it was so delicious 🤤 I will definitely Recommend this place is Best who loves Pasta

We tried Truffle pasta and I must say it was delicious. They have cheese-wheel which makes the pasta irresistible. Portion size are generous. For £14 we got Truffle pasta, drink and a desert Will definitely be coming back. It was their opening day. Wishing them best of luck.

Thank you so much Sarah, for your lovely review and well wishes! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Truffle pasta, especially with the cheese-wheel experience—it’s a special touch we’re proud of. It’s great to know you found the portions generous and the meal good value for money. Your support on our opening day means the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

Freshly made pasta put into a cheese wheel and coated with cheese what could be better! Our food was delicious, they were generous portions and well priced. The staff were really friendly and gave us lids so we could take the rest home as they are big portions

Came upon this little delight of a place by chance and absolutely loved it! Had the bolognese and truffle pasta and both were delicious. And being halal was icing on the cake. The freshly made pasta was top notch and the staff was polite and welcoming! Will definitely be going again😊
