Trullo

The 38 Best London Restaurants, According to Eater’s Local Dining Expert | Eater

"Trullo’s elegant dining room and simple, seasonal food make it one of London’s best Italian restaurants and one of its finest neighborhood restaurants. Dark wood, low lighting, white tablecloths, and straightforward plating make Trullo decidedly anti-Instagram. Its spiritual parents are the two most important restaurants of a generation, the River Cafe and St. John. Dishes marry Italian traditions with British (and Italian) ingredients, which are fashioned into antipasti, fresh pastas, and secondi, dishes that often do a little time on the charcoal grill. Where sibling site Padella is cheaper, faster, and increasingly difficult to get into, Trullo is more of a grown-up place to eat and relax. A largely Italian (and natural-leaning) wine list is just as considered as everything else. Must-try dish: The signature pappardelle with beef shin ragu." - Adam Coghlan
