Fun, bustling dinner stop in London. We were happily greeted and quickly seated.
I ordered the Insalata Misa and my husband ordered the Bologenese.
Food was very good.
Would have loved to stay for a digestive, but lots to do and see during our brief visit.

My mom and I were in the area trying to find a place to eat for lunch. Since we checked out their menu and saw a 2 meal course for $17.95 we were sold. For starters my mom picked the insalta mista salad. I picked the bruschetta pomodoro. For the main dish we both ordered the spaghetti pomodoro e basilico. Portion size of the dish could be good for two people to share. We decided to only eat half and take the rest back to the hotel so that my dad can try it out. Overall we both enjoyed the dishes we got. Service was attentive and friendly.

We did not have a great experience at Pasta Brown. 

Although the restaurant was not full, we were told we had to order mains and could not start with ordering appetizers. The interaction was very awkward and after the manager did okay ordering appetizers, service was lacking and we were not given the opportunity to order anything else.

We ended up eating our appetizers and unfortunately then going elsewhere for dinner.

My family and I came here for a quick dinner before some shopping and we're surprised by our food at a maximum of FIVE minutes before our absolutely phenomenal pasta was presented to us! Not to mention the nice feel to the building and kindness of the staff. I very highly recommend this place if you are in town!

I had the best pasta here in my entire life. And I'm not young. We were a party of four and each ordered a different dish. I ordered the carbonara with penne and it was the table favorite. Everyone kept taking bites of it and wishing they had ordered it even though they also loved what they ordered. We also ordered the spaghetti bolognese and added mushroom, The spaghetti with meatballs, spaghetti alio olio Alice which had chicken, broccoli and pine nuts and of course an order of garlic bread. The spaghetti Alice for short was the least flavorful needed maybe a sauce or something but all were very delicious. It's going to be hard to find a carbonara that good. The inside was small but decorated for Christmas still since we were there Dec 30th, and the staff were so nice. I wish we could have eaten again before we left. I'm getting hungry looking at the pictures.

Loved this place!  True Italian food that is simply delicious.   Visited this place twice in 5 days time during our visit to London.  Kinda tight on space but who cares!  Great ambiance and service was fast.   We got our food after we ordered in less than 15 minutes.   Great location too!

Service was amazing.  Dont let the appearance fool you.  The salad I had for a side was super good, I even ate my husbands.  very reasonably priced.  A great place for a nightly lunch.

The place is nice and in a nice neighborhood. The environment is very casual, but food not so great. 
I tried spaghetti with frutti di mare, which was more spaghetti with mussels and clams in a can, on top of being full of garlic, overcooked and with no salt.
I also tried the pizza which was decent but far from being a Italian masterpiece

This feels like a family run business, from the decor to the music to the wait staff. The food was also extremely delicious. I would go back again the second chance I get and would recommend this place to all my friends
