Osteria Angelina is a standout destination in London’s vibrant dining scene, created by the team behind the acclaimed Angelina Dalston. Nestled in a beautifully restored Victorian warehouse in Norton Folgate—on the border of Spitalfields, Shoreditch, and the City—the restaurant masterfully blends the traditions of Italian and Japanese cuisine, offering a refined yet approachable dining experience.
At the heart of Osteria Angelina is its dedication to handmade pasta, crafted daily with a distinctive Japanese twist. The menu features eight regularly rotating pasta dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients and innovative techniques. The Binchotan grill presents large, expertly prepared cuts of meat and seafood designed for sharing. Signature dishes include a unique take on Gran Bollito Misto, served tableside from a traditional Bollito Misto trolley, alongside smaller plates showcasing favourites such as Antipasti, Crudi, and Fritti.
The dining space is designed to enhance the culinary experience, with a 75-cover open kitchen and bar that places craftsmanship at the forefront. Guests can watch the chefs at work, including a pastaio in a dedicated glass-walled pasta-making area. Designed by Anna Owens, the interiors embrace a monochromatic aesthetic, balancing comfort with understated elegance. The venue’s high ceilings and preserved original features add to the distinctive charm, while a private dining room on the lower ground floor offers an intimate setting for up to 18 guests.
Osteria Angelina’s beverage program is as meticulously curated as its menu. The extensive wine list boasts over 300 Italian wines, celebrating the country’s diverse indigenous grape varieties and their rich histories. A carefully selected range of sake, curated by London sake expert Masayo Nuttall, further enhances the offering. The cocktail menu reflects the restaurant’s Italian-Japanese fusion, incorporating flavours and ingredients from both traditions. Guests can also explore one of London’s most extensive grappa collections, alongside an impressive selection of Japanese whiskies, creating an immersive and well-rounded drinking experience.
With its harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary innovation, Osteria Angelina redefines the dining landscape. Whether for a quick pasta lunch, a leisurely dinner, or a special celebration, the restaurant offers an inviting and versatile space that seamlessly fuses culture, flavour, and hospitality.
