Osteria Angelina to open in Norton Folgate

A new pasta and grill restaurant from the Angelina Dalston team will open in Norton Folgate in March. 

Osteria Angelina will see the team take on a bigger converted warehouse space on the border of Spitalfields, Shoreditch and the City. Founders Joshua Owens-Baigler, Amar Takhar and Laura Horta opened Angelina Dalston in 2019. The neighbourhood restaurant gained critical acclaim for its creative tasting menus inspired by Japanese and Italian cuisine.

The restaurant will offer fresh pasta with a Japanese twist, as well as Italian- and Japanese-inspired ‘big cut’ Binchotan grill dishes. There will also be a list of more than 300 Italian wines and a Gran Bollito Misto served tableside.

Dining at Osteria Angelina

The 75-cover ground floor restaurant features a large open kitchen and bar, with a mix of chef counter and table seating. 

At the heart of the menu will be eight fresh pastas which will change regularly. The focal point of the open kitchen will be the Binchotan-fired grills delivering big grill cuts for sharing, from whole fish to ribeye steaks. A signature dish will be a take on the Italian favourite Gran Bollito Misto; served tableside from a traditional Bollito Misto carrello (trolley). A selection of smaller plates will include some of Angelina's favourite antipasti, crudi and fritti dishes. 

“We're thrilled to expand into a larger venue that has captivated us with its stunning architecture, providing an incredible platform to introduce the Angelina brand and Itameshi cuisine to a wider audience," says Owens-Baigler. "Launching an accessible restaurant focused on handmade 'wafu' pasta has been a long-standing dream of ours, we can’t wait!”
