Rotorino

Rotorino is Stevie Parle’s Italian restaurant and bar situated along an energetic street in Dalston. The slick bar seats are kept free for walk-in diners and drinkers, while booking is essential for the restaurant.

As you step inside, you’ll agree that the striking retro 70s patterned tiles, booth seating and exposed brick walls have been carefully considered, as has the polished Italian menu. Begin your culinary journey with a tipple from the fine-tuned wine list or delicious cocktail selection, before casting your eye over the succinct bill of fare that’s split into three sections. Perhaps try the sea bream Carpaccio to start, before sampling the coppa steak and finishing with almond ice cream or a selection of cheeses.

The weekly changing Rotorino all-day Sunday roast is a steal at under £20 and offers a choice of three roasts with sides, including the famous garlic rosemary potatoes. Rotorino hosts a regional dinner on the last Tuesday of every month, which sees a four-course seasonal set menu inspired by a different city or region of Italy available.

Round up the family or gather the gang and head to Rotorino for your next sociable soiree – the large table seats 22 comfortably and is ideal for intimate parties, large lunches and special occasions.
