A high-decibel, high-energy nose-to-tail Italian spot in Shoreditch where in-house butchery and hand-rolled pasta are served in a bustling, industrial-chic setting.
Ordering Strategy
Start with the house-cured salumi and the pig skin ragù to share, then order 2-3 pastas for the table before considering a large wood-fired cut if you are still hungry.
What to order
Tonnarelli, brown crab cacio e pepe
This is the "dish you'll see most on Instagram" and for good reason. Critics describe the rust-coloured sauce as having a "deep, savoury kick" that is "VERY good."
Fazzoletti with duck ragù
A "powerful" and "silky" dish that reviewers compare to a cross between a Roman pasta and a "blousy cassoulet," featuring rich duck fat and crisp duck skin.
Pig skin ragù, parmesan, crispy skin
An "outrageous act of lusty flirtation" and "massive flavour bomb" where a plate-sized piece of dehydrated, fried skin is used to scoop up a slow-cooked ragu under a "blizzard" of aged parmesan.
Cappellacci di zucca
A "must-have" pasta filled with sweet squash and topped with amaretti crumbles, resulting in a dish that sits uniquely "hinged between savoury and dessert."

Good to know
The dining room is notoriously loud, making it better for lively catch-ups than intimate whispers. Reservations are essential.
