The Quintessential Guide to Coventry’s best pasta eats

It’s National Pasta Day and we’re bringing you a list of the best pasta places in Coventry!

Sad Girl Autumn is up and running and what better way to wallow in your unhappiness than having All Too Well (10-minute version) on repeat and devouring a plate of scorching hot pasta. Whether you’re after some tomatoey goodness, a dab of pesto or devour your pasta in a salad, we’ve got carbs on lock!

So, in celebration of National Pasta Day, we’ve brought together a culinary compendium of our favourite cafes and restaurants with the best pasta dishes. In our minds you can’t fully ‘enjoy’ a self-pity party without eating your bodyweight in Carbonara.

A personal favourite of mine, Café Italia reigns supreme when it comes to pasta. With large portion sizes and sides galore, this café will quickly become your go-to for lunch. And best of all, there are halal and vegetarian options.

Address: 9-11 Trinity St, Coventry CV1 1FJ

Favourite dish: Seafood Tagliatelle

2) Sovrano Caffe
