Our Shoreditch walk
last week, led us tot his pure and natural pasta shop/restaurant/workshop
called Burro e Salvia.
In Italy they call
this kind of artisan shop a ‘pastificio’: there where you make and buy fresh pasta. And that's what it is.
At Burro e Salvia you buy freshly made
pasta to cook at home or sit down for a lovely Italian lunch.
Their philosophy is simple: to make the
best pasta, you only need SIMPLY FLOUR & EGGS. 1 egg per 100 gr of 00 flour - it really is that
simple and it is the base for any type of fresh pasta you'll find at Burro e
Salvia.
In the pastificio Gaia and her team make a daily selection of fresh pasta: shapes and fillings vary according to availability of seasonal produce and to the creativity of the chef. The pasta is passed through the pasta machine behind the counter, as the shop is comprised of two rooms: the main room at the front with the pasta counter and working station; and a small back room, with a skylight ceiling. Al details are beautiful and well designed: the card board lights, the minimalist packaging, the team work aprons, the . Also most of the objects and products used in the shop are also available to buy.

Burro e Salvia found it’s place in the trendy Redchurch Street with hip neighbours such as Kiehls, Albion, Aesop, Allpress Espresso and the great fashion store Hostem.
Also possible at Burro e Salvia : pasta workshops on highly demand!
Starting in November for absolute
beginners who'd like to learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch, and for the
pasta-pro who've been making their own tagliatelle for years. The Basics
workshop covers what it says on the tin whether its learning to make fresh egg
and flour pasta (tagliatelle, papparedelle, tagliolini) or fresh semolina flour
pasta (orecchiette and strozzapreti, for example). Workshops will run for
up to 6 people, £40 per person.
If you go there, say 'hi' to Gaia and enjoy!
