Trullo is a neighbourhood Italian restaurant at 300–302 Saint Paul’s Road, close to Highbury and Islington station. Open since 2010, it serves a concise menu that changes twice each day, guided by the seasons, responsible sourcing and a simple approach that lets excellent produce remain central.
Antipasti can move from sourdough with estate olive oil, salumi and mozzarella to carefully prepared vegetables, shellfish and raw fish. The changing selection rewards sharing and gives the kitchen room to respond to what its farmers, fishers and specialist suppliers can provide at their best.
Fresh pasta is rolled only minutes before service, with pappardelle and beef shin ragù and pici cacio e pepe among the enduring favourites. Other shapes and fillings change daily, while fish, game, lamb, beef and vegetables are cooked over burning coals for direct flavour and gentle smoke.
Panna cotta, tiramisu, fruit desserts, ice cream and Italian cheese offer a thoughtful conclusion without losing the menu’s relaxed character. A carefully selected wine list supports both pasta and the grill, while the warm, lively dining room makes Trullo suitable for a quick supper or a long celebratory meal.
