Nestled in the heart of Spitalfields, La Tagliata is a family-run Italian restaurant just a few steps from Liverpool Street Station. Whether you're looking for a romantic spot for a date night dinner or a larger space for a celebratory occasion then look no further than La Tagliata, bringing some of the best Italian dishes to the area and transporting you on a journey as you eat.
The space offers a rustic and homely feel, inviting guests to enjoy dinner amongst bookshelves packed with ancient tomes and walls dotted with bright and slightly abstract portraits. It has the comfort and style of something more upmarket with plush white seating, but with added quirks that make this a unique little spot. Friendly staff are here to help, just adding to the welcoming atmosphere, and seasonal produce takes the dishes to the next level.
La Tagliata puts the focus on the classics and ensuring that it does the simple things well. Menus here are packed with Italian classics, cooked up by chef Ciprian who has 16 years of expertise in London’s Italian scene. From the antipasti section discover the likes of bruschetta topped with mozzarella or prosciutto, followed by dishes of creamy pecorino linguine or rigatoni in a beef fillet ragu for primi options.
Grilled swordfish steak with asparagus and citrus or a seafood stew of prawns and mussels in a white wine and lobster bisque are the sorts of things you’ll find on the mains menu. Desserts continue the focus on traditional Italian dishes with tiramisu, panna cotta and an assortment of gelato flavours.
The drinks menu offers an extensive list of wines hailing from Italy alongside a popular selection of Italian cocktails and digestifs – think Aperol, Limoncello and Campari Spritzes. Bubbles, beers and spirits are also available, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.
