For a taste of summer all year round, join FARE in its conservatory-style dining room for some Italian specialities with plenty of soul.
Its whitewashed walls, tantalisingly green hanging plants and gleaming silverware make FARE a pure and reviving space in the middle of the Big Smoke. As every Londoner knows, it can all get a bit much sometimes. Why not make this your haven? Even if it's just for lunch or dinner!
With food as fresh as your surroundings, dip into some Italian classics with a modern twist! If it's pasta you're after (rhyme intended), twirl some luxury on your fork with the duck pappardelle with black truffle, the black tagliolini or spinach and ricotta ravioli. The thin, crispy pizzas are topped with all kinds of Italian goodness, from sausage, spinach, anchovies and courgette to truffle and fior di latte. There are also meat dishes like an ox tongue skewer that might leave you speechless...
And with classic cocktails beers on tap and international wines on offer, make a real occasion of it. It's your haven for a reason!

REENA PATEL - dined at FARE on 3 March 2020
Having been past FARE many times I finally managed to book a table for lunch now wishing I did much earlier. Our experience was nothing but fantastic! The food was quickly served, incredibly delicious and the portions were huge. The staff were very patient attentive. Lovely decor too which made it a lovely place to sit and have a drink afterwards.

We really enjoyed our meal. We both had a paste dish and then shared the lamb cutlets and cauliflower cheese, All were great but my husband’s pappardelle with duck ragu was the standout dish. He wouldn’t share...
The dining room is industrial, dresses with lots of greenery. Service was absolutely lovely. We look forward to coming back and trying more dishes. The octopus looked particularly appealing.

We've been meaning to go to FARE for a while, so imagine how happy we were when we saw it was on First Table. The place is really cool, the interior is chic. We'd recommend a downstairs table if you can get one. We went all out, started with some cocktails (aperol and their signature negroni - banging), then for starters we had focaccia and the burrata with pesto which was soooo good. Then for mains we shared the duck tagliatelle with truffles which needed a little more truffle to be honest but was still good. We then had Octopus skewers with salsa verde which was delightful. This was all with a carafe of wine, bloody love a carafe. For dessert we both had the tiramisu which rivalled ones we had in Bologna and they were incredible. The servers were all really nice and the food came out nice and quickly.
We will be coming back to try the pizza next. Fare is highly recommended!

A lovely evening at Fare for a catch up with friends. Great service, peaceful vibe and delicious food. I enjoyed the La Vegana pizza which was a delicious vegan pizza - I thought the topping combination sounded odd at first but they worked surprisingly well together!

The pasta was excellent and service was sublime. Pitty they run out of tiramisu when I visited. Definitely recommend!

The staff were lovely, very helpful in explaining things on the menu and helping us decide what to order. The food was incredible! The fresh pasta and pizza crust were both incredible on their own and we're complemented well by the sauce and toppings. We also appreciated the complimentary sparkling water!

There is no better place to escape a rainy Saturday evening than at Fare! The food, service & atmosphere is all spot on. Whilst wanting to order everything on the menu, we opted for a n'duja pizza, artichoke salad, finishing off with the must-have Tiramisu. We will most definitely be returning to try more of the menu!

Abby Weston - dined at FARE on 5 October 2019
A really good experience in the end. While we waited a long time for food due to a backlog with a new till system and had to follow up on it, the wait staff were apologetic and offered a round of drinks and a couple of nibbles on the house. We could've been quite disgruntled but we ended up being very happy customers. The food was good, the place was vibing and the staff were great.

Really nice space, the restaurant was very busy so service was as attentive as it could have been but food came quickly. Drinks were lovely - melon spritz specifically and the food was delicious.

Really enjoyed our meal at FARE. Upstairs is lovely and bright where as downstairs has a bit more ambience, would be nice place to bring a date.
Food was great. LOVED the burrata pizza. Also ordered octopus as a main which was delicious but quite small.
Overall thought it was great, will be back!
