About the Author

Tim Siadatan is co-founder of Padella and Trullo. Since he graduated from the first intake at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, Tim has become synonymous with bold Italian cooking. After a year and a half at the iconic St John restaurant he went on to work at Moro, before opening Trullo with his good friend and business partner Jordan Frieda in June 2010.

In 2016 he and his business partner Jordan Frieda opened the first Padella in London's Borough Market. It was the culmination of their long held dream to open a pasta bar serving fresh, hand rolled pasta with delicious sauces and fillings inspired by their trips to Italy.

One of the first international food tourist destinations – established in the early days of the Instagram food revolution – its original Borough Market branch has had non-stop queues since day one. Having been taught by the best, Tim and his chefs have maintained the highest quality, as proven by the continued popularity of the restaurants.
