Trullo

This Italian restaurant blends top-quality British ingredients and Italian style in its dark, cozy Islington dining room. Head chef Tim Siadatan cooks a menu of antipasti and luscious pastas – the beef shin ragu is considered one of the capital’s best pasta dishes – while the section dedicated to the charcoal grill might include Dorset lamb rump with cannellini beans or whole Cornish mackerel. Siadatan also operates the fast-casual pasta joint Padella in Borough Market, which has attracted a cult following.
