A sleek, buzzing Spitalfields warehouse conversion serving highly craveable Itameshi (Italian-Japanese) sharing plates.
Ordering Strategy
Order heavily from the crudo and fritti to start, grab the Hokkaido milk bread to mop up the sauces, then share a couple of fresh pastas and a larger binchotan-grilled plate.
What to order
Tortellini with Truffle & Kombu
This dish perfectly illustrates the restaurant's 'dual culinary inspiration,' blending Italian technique with Japanese depth.
Blythburgh Pork Chop
Described as a 'beast of a chop,' this generous portion is so substantial you might need a doggy bag to finish it at home.
Hokkaido Milk Bread
Served with kumquat and burnt honey butter, this 'small, sweet mini-loaf' is essential for mopping up the exquisite seasoned oils from other courses.
Usman’s Magic Tomato Salad
Elevated into 'witchcraft territory' by a salsa verde granita, this signature dish is one of the best vegetarian options in London.

Good to know
Tucked away in the Norton Folgate development. Snag a seat at the marble kitchen counter for a great date night, but note that some critics found the deep dining chairs uncomfortably laid-back.
