Load of Bols

As expected
I hope that Say Pasta survives - although it is a little too hot to eat in the slightly cramped restaurant, it is a fantastic takeaway option for fans of Italian food. For about a fiver you can get a mountain of succulent Bol sauce on pleasingly unsoggy pasta - if you want pasta, fast, it is either Say Pasta or the inferior oily stuff they do at that Italian place by highbury and Islington Station. Lovely helpful staff and Say Pasta are really trying, but it will need to develop a takeaway/delivery niche and fast if it is to survive.

Above expectations
This is the the third restaurant to open at this site in probably just over a year, so the owner probably knows that to survive on Upper Street you've got stiff local competition.
The last two establishments on this site were higher-end take aways and so for some reason I thought Say Pasta was also a take-away when I rushed in to grab some pasta super fast before moving on.
Once inside I was surprised to see that they've managed to make the most of the small space by squeezing in ten or so tables, turning it into a proper restaurant.
With little time to find anywhere else I decided to stay and was pleasantly surprised. Great service, very affordable and importantly very tasty fresh pasta. Would definitely return.
