ALFI is an independent Italian restaurant and bar at 3 Crispin Place in Spitalfields Market. Covered terraces and private rooms make it a flexible setting for lunch, dinner, drinks and larger gatherings within the busy market environment.
Pizza dough cold ferments for 36 hours at high hydration, producing a light, airy crust. The menu moves from margherita and diavola to individual combinations using mushrooms, truffle honey, regional cheese, cured meat and seasonal vegetables.
Fresh pasta and sharing plates broaden the experience, with dishes built around ingredients such as burrata, tomatoes, seafood and slow cooked meat. Vegetarian and vegan preparations are integrated into the range rather than treated as a separate limited offer.
Wine and cocktails are central to the bar, and regular tastings and pasta classes reinforce the restaurant’s social character. ALFI is best for diners who want contemporary Italian food designed to be shared in the animated setting of Spitalfields Market.
Address: 3 Crispin Place, Spitalfields Market, London E1 6DW, England
