DALLA

Unfortunately we were quite disappointed with the food quality .. the photos online looked a lot more interesting so maybe we’re unlucky. The antipastis were ok - but nothing impressive, the flavors were quite bland. The pasta dishes were below average - there’s lot more places with way better fresh pasta with nicer texture and sauces in London. The pumpkin tortelloni was really disappointing as the filling was too dense and overpowering, just tasted like a big spoonful of roasted pumpkin inside - it was too sweet and needed something else to balance it out. The most disappointing dish was the whipped ricotta dessert, it’s literally a whole plate of ricotta and cream spread and drizzled with something similar to molasses…. The ricotta was too rich and it needed something else to pair with as a texture … we all felt sickly after that. The service was very good though - staffs were very friendly and helpful. But sadly for the food quality and price we would not recommend.

Went on Saturday to celebrate a birthday and we had a great experience! Great menu and quality of ingredients. Everything was just delicious. Personal favourites: ossobuco and ravioli di maiale e seirass. We had to change our reservation few times to accommodate last minute changes in the amount of guests and the team has been always super kind with us and ensured we had the best experience. This was my second time at Dalla and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

What an incredible experience! Stepping into DALLA feels like walking into a beloved and cozy grandmother's home, but with the finesse of a top-tier dining establishment. This little hidden gem masterfully blends the nostalgia of Italian home-cooked meals with subtle sophistication. The food is exceptional and really honours Italian regional cuisine - and it changes every week! Every dish is packed with flavour and care, from beautiful starters (personal favourite would have to be the iconic Vitello Tonnato) to silky handmade pastas. The service is impeccable, with staff who are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about your experience. Extensive and impressive wine list too. The homely atmosphere is unmatched, making DALLA a rare gem, combining stunning food, heartfelt service, and a cozy charm that lingers long after your visit. Can't recommend it more!

Dalla is an 11/10 - food, service, atmosphere and all. My partner and I both have a severe nut allergy and the staff made us feel very comfortable dining here. Our server Allison was incredible in making us feel at home, and her passion for the food and wine completely elevated our experience. I crave the day I am back in London to dine here again!

Amazing food! Starters, pasta dishes and secondi were all authentic Italian dishes and well made! Fresh hand made pasta…outstanding ravioli. Service was good and location is cute.

I really wanted this to be different from the other trendy traps in Hackney but unfortunately it wasn’t. Place is cute and cozy, food was okay (although not mind blowing, with tiny portions — small plates concept innit?) The baccalà mantecato was actually really good, as well as the tagliatelle. Really enjoyed these. A couple of negatives really stood out for me, and I hope you can take this as feedback to make things better next time: 1. Don’t bring a £50+ bottle of wine already open at the table. Do open the bottle in front of customers. If your waiter cannot open a wine bottle standing, hire one who can. £50 for a bottle of wine isn’t cheap, and I’d expect to see the bottle is sealed and opened in front of me. This is really the basics of decent service and I was mind blown both bottles we ordered came already opened at the table. I’m sure this isn’t the case, but what if the bottle was refilled with cheaper wine? Not cool. 2. As a waiter, make sure you take the full order before jumping doing other tasks. Don’t grab plates for other tables, welcome in new guests halfway through the order to then come back to the original customer. It’s not very nice. Also — It’s okay not to force an Italian pronunciation every other word you say. Italians at the table don’t need to be impressed!

Love it! I went with my partner to celebrate his birthday and was amazing ❤️ just to say something... I found the starters a bit small. But full of flavour and beautiful restaurant 😋 The tiramisú, wow 👌🏻

Probably one of the best Italian restaurants in London! Everything we ordered, starter through desserts, was impeccable. We love how every single dish, even the simplest dish, was packed with flavour. Service was incredible too. Our server and Gen were super caring and thoughtful about all our needs and wishes. We never expected such wonderful experience and would definitely go back!
