We popped in to…read morethe bite for a late dinner one night and we were pleasantly surprised with how good it was! Everything was fresh made to order. I had the prosciutto e funghi pizza, and he had the spaghetti bolognese. The pizza was a perfect Neapolitan style pie, reminiscent of ones I've had in Italy on other travels. Service was friendly, albeit a tad slow. This is a fun, cozy local place that I would definitely recommend to fellow travelers!

Ah the art of the hidden gem. On first glance you wouldn't expect this restaurant to be as lovely…read moreas it is but it meets all the requirements of a good pizza place. The food is extremely reasonably priced and the portions are enormous (I had the American Hot pizza for their promotional deal for 6 quid). Only thing I would say is the pizza was slightly too runny for my taste but it was still delicious. The decor also is very simple yet cosy, I wouldn't hesitate to have a date night here or even a group meal with friends. The wait staff are lovely, very attentive and extremely polite. I will definitely be back! Thanks guys.

The organic house red, 'sinis rosso', is ok, but a bit pricey at £4.5 a glass. The tiramisu here is pretty good, the mascarporne is perfectly firm, yet with just enough yield.

I'm still very confused when I see such new and exciting offerings in Dalston. Growing up here, my…read moreperception of the area was so fixed as grim and scary, that I seem to be stuck in that, despite being part and parcel of the gentrification myself! I was starvin like Marvin on the day in question when I tried this spot. After dithering around the new places for ages, I picked this one as it looked heathy and speedy (2 of my fail-safe concerns for food ordering these days ;) The new-ish staff were very kind when I got confused about what the mushroom option entailed and the care they took over creating my order was touching. I do hope that the enterprise succeeds as the salad in particular was super-fresh and of good quality :D

Arancini! So good when done right....and these guys get it right again and again…read more The set up inside is relaxed and the staff, always super friendly. There's several booths where you can eat in but they also do takeaway. But whether eating in or taking out, I love the food here. The salad boxes are £3.50 for any combination of apple slaw, bean salad, jalapeños and other freshly made veggie delights. And of course, the arancini. Crunchy on the outside soft and creamy on the inside. These little morsels are perfect with the garlic and tomato sauces that accompany them. Once you start you won't stop. Luckily they're sold in snack boxes of three, five and if you're feeling up for a challenge (or sharing), twelve. I keep coming back to this place and they never fail to fill my luchtimes with arancini perfection. Yay arancini!

Surprised that this didn't exist on Yelp, but it deserves a top spot…read more The fish carpaccio antipasti was fresh, and the blood orange in the dish made it stand out.

Topped the whole meal off with pistachio and ricotta gelato.* The staff were friendly, and it was sweet to see the chefs in the back doing their thang.** *this is their Spring 2018 menu **exceptionally skilled cooking

Every dish was delicious and incredibly creative, with the Italian-Japanese fusion working together perfectly. The team even surprised us with champagne to celebrate, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The quality of the food was outstanding, and for the price, it's an amazing value. Highly recommend!

Being fairly new to the area we thought we'd just have a stroll down the road until we found somewhere we liked the look of and serving something we fancied. Brooksby's Walk stands out with its twinkling lights enticing you in and the fact its in a converted bathroom. You can still see the Men and Women's signs above the doors! On entry, it has a cocktail bar at the bottom and after finding a table for some food we were led up to the awesome roof terrace which lets you look out onto the street below and opposite. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We ordered a beer and glass of wine and then took a look at the menu. Unfortunately, due to its popularity, the Octopus was sold out so we opted for the fermented pork belly, baked cheese with apricot and lamb's heart served with girolles and Scottish beans. 3 dishes to share was just right for us and the staff were so helpful when it came to the gluten-free question. They even had gluten-free bread on offer and all the dishes were gluten-free with bread removed. The food is fresh and seasonal and we spent a bit of time talking to one of the staff about the menu and dishes which change dependent on season and what the suppliers have. I love this as it means you rarely get the same dish twice and you end up with something really special. Highly recommend Brooksby's Walk for delicious food, excellent staff and to top it off its really good value for food of such high quality.
