Osteria Angelina – the new pasta and grill restaurant from the Angelina Dalston team – will open in Norton Folgate in March 2025.

The new restaurant sees 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 much-loved neighbourhood restaurant gained critical acclaim for its creative tasting menus that take inspiration from Japanese and Italian cuisine.

Now Osteria Angelina will focus on their popular fresh pastas 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. Embracing the traditional osteria style of northern Italy, the restaurant will offer a more relaxed dining experience, larger à la carte dishes and a faster pace. Envisioned as a versatile space the restaurant will be suitable for anything from a quick pasta lunch to celebratory meal with friends.

“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. Launching an accessible restaurant focused on handmade ‘wafu’ pasta has been a long-standing dream of ours, we can’t wait!” Josh Owens-Baigler, Founder

The ground floor 75-cover restaurant is centred around a large open kitchen and bar, with a mix of chef counter and table seating. Pasta making will be at the forefront of the show with guests able to watch the chefs in the kitchen and a pastaio at work in a glass walled section of the dining room. The restaurant’s comfortable, monochromatic design has been overseen by Anna Owens Designs who has also created the restaurant’s bespoke tableware and furniture. The building itself is an expertly renovated Victorian warehouse, with all original features retained, and a 4-metre-high ceiling. On the lower ground floor a private dining room will seat up to 18.

Osteria Angelina’s executive chef Usman Haider has been with the Angelina team for five years and has worked with founder Joshua to create the new restaurant’s relaxed a’la carte offering. Sitting 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 on the menu will be an Angelina take on the Italian favourite Gran Bollito Misto; served tableside from a traditional Bollito Misto carrello (trolley). A selection of smaller plates will some Angelina favourites including Antipasti, Crudi and Fritti dishes.

The wine list will focus on Italy’s diverse landscape of unheralded indigenous varieties with unique historic stories. There will also be a selection of Sake curated by London Sake expert Masayo Nuttall. Cocktails will take a creative path similar to the food with flavours and ingredients from Italy and Japan. Guests can expect to find one of London’s most extensive grappa lists and a range of Japanese whiskies.

Osteria Angelina is set to open in March 2025.
