    Angelina, Dalston: Why Everyone’s Talking About This Wine-Led Restaurant

    The talk of the town… Angelina on Dalston Lane where Italian flavours meet Japanese precision, led by Head Chef Daniele Cotugno.

    Order the smoked Negroni, then enjoy Sicilian prawns, tomato salad, fried courgettes, a whole fish for two (£34) and the best tortellini in London. The wine list leans confidently Italian, which I love and enjoy Pinot Bianco from Alto Adige.

    Service is spot on, I’ve never had a menu explained so clearly, right down to how many dishes to order. Add in low lighting, counter dining and modern interiors, and you’ve got a place that’s right on the money.

    Just behind Liverpool Street and Spitalfields Market. Perfect for date night, girls’ night or a celebration.
