Osteria Angelina

Went here on a Saturday afternoon with friends and had an amazing time. Be sure to book a reservation in advance because it gets filled quickly! This Italian-Japanese restaurant is very creative is not only the presentation of the food but the flavors as well. Every plate is small so with a group I recommend ordering a bunch so you can try it out many different dishes! What we ordered: (shared between 3) -tortellini, truffle & kombu: 100/10, £15, I loved this dish a bit too much, was so flavorful with truffle and warm with the perfectly cooked tortellini. -scallops, apple & hazelnut: 100/10, £18 another amazing dish, the thinly sliced apples with scallops topped with hazelnut pair really well together the crunch from the apple and hazelnuts add a great touch. the presentation in the shell adds +10. -ox tongue & kizami wasabi: 7/10, £14, the ox tongue itself was amazing but for my personal taste the wasabi wasn’t my favorite -tagliolini, tuna, mentaiko & kombu cured caviar: 9/10, £24, i am a caviar connoisseur! with the tuna and sauce, mmm MMM mmm!! -roasted plum & nori focaccia: 100/10, £4, the roasted plum with the hot focaccia was a bite everyone deserves to taste, it is made im house daily which adds an extra layer of homeness, pro tip: dipping the focaccia in the tagliolini sauce is an even more flavourfull event -sausage & unagi risotto: 8/10, £22, the tiny sausage pieces were grilled to a good crisp, the risotto was good to a great softness that paired with the unagi-chefs kisss!! -polenta fries: 9/10, £6, WOW, bring the parmesan-the more the better! the crunch on these fries are unreal -puntarelle, katsuobbushi & sobacha: 2/10, £10, personally was not a fan of this dish as my tastebuds just didn’t like it, my other two friends did like the taste. it was super fishy due to the katsuobbushi which is shaved spikjack tuna -drinks: white wine: 8/10, negroni: 8/10, amazing presentation of the smokeyness, mocktail: 8/10

Overall good experience. We came on a Friday evening with a reservation and it was packed, friendly staff but hard to flag someone down sometimes. For starters, they were overall okay/good but nothing amazing. Highlights were definitely the pasta dishes we ordered - duck ragu and truffle and kombu tortellini - and I would order both again. The cheesecake dessert was lovely and quite an interesting take. Would recommend!

Fantastic Japanese–Italian fusion restaurant. The dishes are creative and inventive without going so far that the flavour suffers. The staff are absolutely excellent. The dishes balance texture, flavour, and presentation very well. I’m a big fan of their real fire-grilled items, pasta, and the “ceviche”. The milk loaf is outstanding. The chicken karaage was fairly average compared with the rest of the menu. One thing to note is that the flavours tend to be quite bold and rich, so having drinks alongside the meal is definitely recommended. If you prefer very light or “raw ingredient–forward” flavours, this might not be the place for you.

The food was impeccable, service was very attentive and professional. We sampled a bunch of dishes and they are all SO SO great. The Hokkaido milk bread was incredible, one of a kind appertizer and the ox tongue was the highlight of the night. Incredibily tender and wasabi on top was an interesting touch. 2 of my favorite cocktail was Riso Rosamino and Mikan Balsamico. Easily my top 3 favorite restaurant ❤️. Highly recommend Ilias as your serve 🫶

The reviews and ratings definitely live up to the expectations. We booked seats at the chef’s counter and found it surprisingly comfortable, with a great view of the chefs in action, it was such a nice experience watching the dishes being prepared. I loved that the menu is tapas-style, which makes it perfect for sharing and trying a bit of everything. Every dish we had was amazing, especially the Hokkaido milk bread and the pastas. The cheesecake completely blew me away—the texture was just wow. This is definitely a restaurant I’d go back to again and it’s very affordable for such good quality food!

We were really looking forward to our dinner and had booked ages in advance! The staff at the door were really cordial and gave us a seat at the bar even though we were pretty early. The cocktails and the entrees were really the star of the night and we enjoyed them to the fullest. As for the portion sizes, they are quite decent for the price. Although weren’t the biggest fans of the pastas. The grill section was really impressive- we went for the hamachi collar and the chicken. The raw section was probably the scene stealer for us. We could have ordered more and more of that hamachi and it wouldn’t have been enough! The desserts didn’t really meet our expectations but it’s not something we would complain about. Look forward to visiting the sister restaurant and trying more of the seasonal options the next time we visit! Kudos to the team!

Went here for girls night to celebrate baby shower for 3 of us and had an absolute blast! Restaurant is super busy and had to book in advance. We were sat in a booth seat indoors, very cozy. Terrace seating available but it was very cold, probably more comfortable in summer. Music is a tad loud and had to speak up, but ambience is nice. Staff friendly and check up on us often. We ordered the Hokkaido milkbread, the focaccia, cod kaarage, truffle tortellini, duck pasta and the pork chop, and were happy with all our options. Portions were fairly small, more like tapas sizes so need to order a few to share. Truffle tortellini absolutely stunning and standout - was my highlight. Pork chop was quite sizeable though, and sauce was very satisfying. We also ordered 2 desserts, the kinako cheesecake and pannacotta and they were both yummy and not too sweet, which is the highest Asian praise iykyk! Overall we were very impressed and had such a positive experience. Note that i was pregnant so we did not drink at all, and hence the reasonable bill reflects the lack of alcohol.

Best meal of 2026 so far! This place is amazing, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS and we were all so ecstatic with the flavours and left absolutely stuffed! I want to say a special thank you to the lovely lady Elizabeth who served us. As a coeliac who’s now eating on a low carb/ keto diet plan, she was super accommodating, she explained the whole menu bit by bit, she spoke to the chef and made sure my allergies and requirements were met to the highest possible standards. I have been to hundreds of restaurants in London and their staff was overall excellent. I will recommend this place to everyone I know, I would give them 6 stars if I could , no second thoughts and we are going to come back very very soon to this lovely little restaurant! Thank you guys ❤️
