"A neighbourhood gem split over two floors; its open kitchen serving an ingredient-led daily menu. Harmonious, tried-and-tested combinations create rustic, full-flavoured Italian dishes, including meats and fish cooked on the charcoal grill and delicious fresh pasta, hand-rolled before each service."

@

"Michelin guide Best Italian restaurants in London The set-up is based on a simple Italian trattoria. On the menu there might creamy ‘nduja on toast, burrata served with peach and basil or breakfast radishes with aioli. Everything is fresh and seasonal, and completely delicious. Go big on the pasta, which is all made in house: thick noodles of pici oozing with cacio e pepe and skinny tagliarini with crab, courgette and a chilli kick. And while there are main courses from the grill it’s the beef-shin ragu with pappardelle that keeps the locals coming back, and back again. "

"Trullo’s elegant dining room and simple, seasonal food, marks it out both as one London’s best Italian restaurants and one of the city’s finest neighbourhood restaurants. Dark wood, low lighting, white table cloths, and just-put-it-on-the-plate plating characterise it as decidedly anti-Instagram. Trullo’s spiritual parents are the two most important restaurants of a generation: the River Cafe and St. John, so dishes marry Italian traditions with British (and Italian) ingredients — fashioned into delicious antipasti, fresh pastas and secondi, dishes which often do a little time on the charcoal grill. Where sister site, Padella, is cheaper, faster, and increasingly difficult to get into, Trullo, which offers the same signature beef shin pappardelle and other Padella hits, is more of a grown-up place to eat and relax. A largely Italian (and natural-leaning) wine list is just as considered as everything else."

"Pâtes incroyables / un des meilleurs resto de Londres selon Lucy Williams, London Eater, Time Out, Condé Nast et The Infatuation London / ambiance un peu chic, plutôt pour une occasion, vaut le coup de réserver / commander absolument les pappardelle au beef shin ragu (surtout!!) ou les cacio e pepe pick, sinon aussi bon: la parmigiana aux aubergines et les black Hampshire pork chops, Lucy Williams recommande les pâtes et la tarte au chocolat / there’s also a small range of takeaway sandwiches but the spicy meatball sub is the best one (includes 3 types of cheeses!) Dirigé par des ex du River Café / sibling restaurant: Padella"

"Le meilleur italien de Londres, de Islington au moins "

@sabi0669

"Trullo opened in June 2010, and offers a simple, seasonally focused, Italian inspired menu that changes daily. Fresh hand-made pasta and our charcoal grill are the counterpoints of the menu at Trullo, the pasta rolled minutes before service, and the fish and meat cooked over burning coals. ** Not so many veg/vegan options **"

@

"Super resto italien, cuisine des pouilles"

@

"goop: This Italian spot is great with a few friends because it means you get to share a bunch of the delicious, seasonal offerings. Their menu is constantly changing, so you can always expect to be pleasantly surprised. Downstairs, you'll find a slightly glitzier (though still very tasteful and understated) vibe and small plates that are a little fancier."
