Pasta allo Scarpariello
A taste of Naples in Fulham
If you’re craving authentic Italian food in Fulham, our Pasta allo Scarpariello at Amore & Limoncello is a must-try. This simple, flavour-packed dish comes straight from the heart of Neapolitan tradition, bringing a rustic and comforting experience to your plate—right here in SW6.
A Dish with History: From Naples to Fulham
The origins of Pasta allo Scarpariello date back to the alleyways of the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples, where humble shoemakers (or scarpari) would whip up meals using leftover ingredients from their customers’ kitchens. Combining fresh tomatoes, aged Italian cheeses, and aromatic basil, this dish quickly became a beloved classic in Southern Italy.
At Amore & Limoncello, we stay true to that tradition—while giving it our own warm, hearty twist.
What Makes Our Pasta allo Scarpariello Special?
We prepare this dish using only the highest-quality Italian ingredients, many of which are PDO-certified for authenticity. Here’s what goes into each plate:
Homemade Fresh Spaghetti
Sweet Datterino Tomatoes
Pecorino Romano PDO
Parmigiano Reggiano PDO
Fresh Basil
Garlic & Chili for a Kick
Fine Sea Salt
Lard or Extra Virgin Olive Oil, depending on your preference
The tomatoes are gently simmered to release their sweetness, the cheeses melt into a creamy, savory sauce, and the fresh basil ties it all together with a bright herbal note. It’s comfort food, elevated with soul and story.
In true Campanian spirit, we enrich the sauce with a touch of lard—a bold and flavourful alternative to olive oil that deepens the dish’s richness. This is exactly the kind of recipe we love to share on our blog and serve in our Fulham restaurant: full of amore, heritage, and bold Italian flavour.
