The team from Lupa have another Italian-inspired hit on their hands with this London Fields spot – and it’s easy to see why. A bright, modern take on the classic osteria, it comes with a laid-back buzz and attentive service from a charming team. The cooking is mostly Milanese, with the lovely, olive oil-lashed focaccia a great way to start, before standout pasta dishes such as ‘maltagliati' pasta with crab – and make sure to order some peas with onion and guanciale on the side. Italy is understandably the focus of the accessible wine list too.
