Angelina — Where Japan Meets Italy in a Candlelit Collision Located on Dalston Lane, Angelina is one of London’s most intriguing culinary hybrids — a MICHELIN-recognised spot where Italian and Japanese traditions intertwine in a tasting menu that’s as daring as it is delicate. The Food: Kaiseki-style tasting menu with seasonal, often surprising combinations Dishes might include chawanmushi with datterini tomatoes, rosemary & nori focaccia, or duck tortelloni with kombu Flavours are subtle, elegant, and occasionally cerebral — not every dish will hit emotionally, but the craft is undeniable Pasta is a standout — fresh, inventive, and beautifully plated Drinks: Italian wines and sake share the spotlight Sparkling Japanese tea is a non-alcoholic highlight Pairings are thoughtful, though not essential to enjoy the meal

Angelina, London — Where Japan Meets Italy in a Dreamlike Dance Tucked away on Dalston Lane, Angelina is a restaurant that defies convention and embraces contrast. Italian warmth meets Japanese precision in a tasting menu that feels both intimate and theatrical — a surreal fusion that somehow makes perfect sense. The space is minimalist yet inviting, with marble counters and soft lighting that set the stage for a culinary journey. Dishes shift daily, guided by seasonal availability and the chefs’ creative impulses. Expect rosemary-nori focaccia, chawanmushi with datterini tomato, or a trio of raw fish that sings with subtlety. Pasta is a standout — delicate, expressive, and deeply satisfying. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the wine list leans Italian, with sommeliers who pair with flair. The Kaiseki-style tasting menu is the star, offering a slow crescendo of flavors that surprise and delight. Verdict: Angelina is quietly dazzling — a place where fusion isn’t a gimmick but a philosophy. Come with curiosity, leave with reverence.
