Our take: 42 Pasta is the Answer focuses on fresh, handmade pasta, with a daily changing 'Pasta of the Day' as its core offering.
Reviewers consistently praise the texture of the pasta, noting its perfect al dente bite and chewiness, a direct result of being made from scratch daily.
While the pasta itself is a highlight, the accompanying sauces can be subjective; some find them well-seasoned, while others, like the Malloreddus with Sausage and Mushrooms, might be considered a tad salty.
The menu is intentionally lean, emphasizing quality over quantity.
Beyond pasta, the Roasted Pork with Waldorf Salad is a standout, frequently lauded for its crispy skin and tender meat.
However, the limited menu and the 'Pasta of the Day' concept mean that protein options can be scarce, which might disappoint those seeking a more substantial meal.
One reviewer found the eggplant casarecce to be minimal and lacking a distinct flavor, comparable to a home-cooked dish.
Securing a reservation is a significant hurdle, often requiring a wait of 1.5 to 2 months, which sets high expectations.
The dining experience is generally described as quaint and cosy, with attentive service.
We think it's best for those who appreciate simple, high-quality handmade pasta and are willing to plan far in advance for a reservation.
If you're looking for a diverse menu or substantial protein in every dish, this might not be the ideal spot.

What customers say
Customers generally praise 42 Pasta is the Answer for its fresh, handmade pasta with excellent texture and flavourful sauces, often highlighting the 'Pasta of the Day' for its creativity.
The roasted pork with crispy skin and Waldorf salad is a frequently recommended sharing plate.
While many find the portions satisfying and the service attentive, a recurring point of contention is the difficulty in securing reservations, with some finding the single 'Pasta of the Day' option, especially if vegetarian, to be underwhelming given the high expectations set by the long wait.
