Kado Pasta

A Pasta Shop on Hochstraße in Wedding

Hochstraße is located in Wedding between Badstraße and Brunnenstraße, in a district not yet overflowing with gastronomy, and Kado Pasta is situated at house number 44. The U8 Pankstraße subway station is reachable in a few minutes, the U9 Nauener Platz is similarly far in the other direction, and several bus lines stop on Badstraße. Those arriving by car will find resident parking in the residential area, and parking spaces are correspondingly scarce. The shop has indoor seating and some additional outdoor seating, making Hochstraße a pleasant address on quiet evenings. The sister restaurant, Kado Coffee, located on Gerichtstraße, which focuses on coffee and breakfast, belongs to the same building. The motto with which the establishment introduces itself leaves no doubt about its program, as it simply states Pasta, Pasta, Pasta. There is no wine list, but coffee is available, priced very fairly at 2.50 Euros for a Café Crema.

Two Types of Pasta, Thirteen Sauces, and an Affordable Price Level

The principle at Kado Pasta is a modular system with only two basic choices: guests choose between spaghetti and rigatoni and combine them with one of thirteen sauces. The sauces are the actual core of the offering and are made in-house, from the Napoli tomato sauce to a spicy all’Arrabbiata variant, all the way to the version with fresh black truffle. A house specialty bears the name of the establishment and combines yogurt, garlic, butter, and mint to create a sauce not typically expected on an Italian menu. In terms of price, the shop is exceptionally affordable, as the simple Napoli costs 6.90 Euros, and even the truffle variant remains under twelve Euros. Allergens are listed for each dish; however, there is no labeling for vegan or gluten-free, so guests with intolerances should inquire. Vegetarian options include Napoli, all’Arrabbiata, Verdure, and Aglio e Olio. The Carbonara is prepared with Halal ham, which is an understandable decision in a district like Wedding. For those seeking straightforward pasta, this is one of the clearest implementations in the city.
