While on vacation in London, my husband and I stayed at the premier inn in Dalston. 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.

Very good food. Great atmosphere. May be a little loud for some. Staff was very accomodating.read more

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.

We got a few pasta dishes and a pizza. Everyone left satisfied. The portions were a bit small but the quality was solid. It did allow us to save room for dessert, which was also a solid hit.

Therefore, if you are thinking of visiting, grab yourself a reservation. Enjoy!

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...like as a main course? YUP. And now I get it, but not until I came to Arancini Brothers…read more I've had risotto balls before, but never been so excited about them as I found them kinda greasy and plain. I came here with 3 friends for a quick bite before a gig up the road. Loads of tables to sit at but most people get them to go I'd imagine. There are loads of variations on the menu, and best of all, plenty of vegetarian/vegan. Prices are good, so it's a perfect lunch or cheap dinner place. I love that they do 'specials' too. I had the mixed box, with some classic and vegan risotto balls, topped with a lovely fresh salad. And I don't mean a couple of lettuce leaves, but an actual blend of crunchy fresh vegetables. So surprisingly delicious. My other friends got wraps and burgers and those were great too. We ordered another round of arancini for the table to share because they were so good. Not greasy or heavy at all. Great texture, lovely interior. So satisfying. Turns out there's an Arancini Brothers around the corner from me in Kentish Town...so looks like I'm going to be getting my arancini fix more often.

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. Sitting at the bar made the experience even more fun, as we got to watch the chefs plate and cook everything right in front of us. The quality of the food was outstanding, and for the price, it's an amazing value. Highly recommend!

One of Homerton's hotspot to have a bite!

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.
