Noci Shoreditch

Avaliações
During our travels to London over the years, we've had the pleasure of enjoying this wonderful Italian restaurant many times, and it never disappoints. The staff are always warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Mariah went above and beyond to ensure our large group was well taken care of, and our server, Karol, was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered excellent recommendations. Together, they made us feel like part of the family. The food delivers an authentic taste of Italy. Every pasta dish is a must-try, packed with incredible flavour and prepared to perfection. Our group especially fell in love with the bruschetta, topped with luscious tomatoes, the roasted garlic focaccia paired with fresh burrata, and the spicy nduja arancini—all of which made the perfect start to our meal. If you're looking for a casual, inviting atmosphere with outstanding food and exceptional service, this is the place to bring friends and family. It's the kind of restaurant that leaves a lasting impression. Thank you, Karol and Mariah, for making our special celebration so memorable. We can't wait to return!
Ella was such a great waitress! We felt so well looked after. The food was so fresh and delicious. The focaccia was SO good and every pasta dish was amazing. Highly recommend the tiramisu.
Noci Shoreditch, Shoreditch – 2.5/5 We went to Noci Shoreditch for the 12:30pm bottomless brunch on a Saturday in October and paid £50 per person – £25 for bottomless pasta and £25 for bottomless drinks over 90 minutes. It is one of those places where the food side of the offer is much stronger than the drinks side. We came away thinking the kitchen was doing a very good job, but the bottomless element was run poorly enough that it changed the whole feel of the experience. The food was the standout. We started with focaccia, then had a few pasta dishes, and the clear winner was the Chianti and beef shin ragu pappardelle with truffle, rosemary and shallot crumb. It was excellent – rich, comforting and genuinely memorable. We liked it enough to order another helping. Portions were good and, taken purely on the food, this was a strong brunch. The drinks were the weak point. The options included Lemon and Watermelon Spritz, Strawberry, Blood Orange and Ginger Spritz, Prosecco and bottled Peroni, so the selection itself was perfectly decent. The problem was the flow. We had to ask for top-ups every time, there were long gaps between drinks, and the whole thing felt awkwardly handled. It was the sort of service that made you feel like you were inconveniencing staff by asking for something already included. For a bottomless brunch, where drinks are such a big part of the experience, that is a real issue. Service overall was mixed at best. Nothing about it felt warm or especially well organised, and the attitude around the drinks let it down badly. At the same time, this was not a chaotic or disastrous meal from start to finish – it was more that one key part of the brunch was handled in a way that made the whole experience feel less enjoyable than it should have. The atmosphere was perfectly pleasant. The fit-out is nice and polished, although it leans more towards a stylish chain feel than somewhere especially distinctive or full of character. It looked good enough, and the room itself was comfortable, but it did not have much of that sense of uniqueness or authenticity that makes somewhere really memorable. It also was not particularly busy when we went, which made the slow drinks top-ups feel even less understandable. In the end, this is a slightly frustrating one. The pasta was genuinely very good, and the ragu in particular was excellent. If we had gone just for lunch, I would have come away much more positively. But as a bottomless brunch, the drinks handling was not good enough, and that matters too much in this format to overlook. I would come back for the food before I would come back for the bottomless. Ratings Drinks / bottomless flow – 1/5 The drinks list was decent, but the top-up flow was slow, awkward and badly handled. For a bottomless brunch, that is a major weakness. Food – 4.5/5 The food was the best part of the experience. The ragu pappardelle was outstanding and easily the reason this review is not much lower. Service – 2/5 Service was a clear weak point, especially around the drinks, where the attitude felt poor and the whole process was made more awkward than it needed to be. Atmosphere – 4/5 A polished, good-looking space that feels pleasant enough to sit in, even if it lacks a bit of individuality. Value for money – 2/5 The food was good, but half the spend was on a bottomless drinks package that did not feel properly delivered, which makes the overall value hard to justify. Overall score – 2.7/5 How we score restaurants and bottomless brunches We score each venue across five categories – drinks / bottomless flow, food, service, atmosphere and value for money – all out of 5. We then apply the following weighting: drinks 35%, food 25%, service 20%, atmosphere 10%, and value 10%, to calculate the final overall score.
Absolutely delicious food!! great little spot to go as a group — the atmosphere was perfect for a catch up with friends! great service and the pastas were perfection 🤩 we also tried the tiramisu-choux which was their take on tiramisu and choux bun — it was a nice touch but perhaps not something to die for! will definitely be going back!! •ᴗ•
We went to this restaurant for an early Saturday dinner and had a carbonara, prawn linguine and fritto misto- all delicious! Prices are very reasonable especially for central London- in fact cheaper than Italian restaurants I have been in other cities. Also very modern, pretty and ideal if you are looking for a quiet place to eat. The only downside was that the main pasta portions were small, but the low prices compensate for that. I would definitely return !
