Lissome Italian Restaurant is an independent dining room at 488 to 490 Kingsland Road in Dalston. Its kitchen focuses on traditional Italian flavours, fresh pasta, wood fired pizza and seasonal ingredients, served in a relaxed setting suited to both casual meals and celebrations. The restaurant also accommodates private dining and larger occasions with a more personal approach to service.
Meals can begin with Sicilian olives, focaccia, truffle arancini, bruschetta or an antipasto platter of cured meats, cheese and vegetables. Meatballs simmered in tomato sauce, lamb skewers, calamari and king prawns bring more substantial choices, while beef with artichokes and Parmesan offers a lighter preparation. These plates give a group plenty of options for sharing before the main course.
Fresh pasta includes tagliatelle with beef ragù, bucatini carbonara, cavatelli with sausage, seafood linguine and tortellini with burrata and black truffle. Mushroom, pumpkin and beetroot risottos broaden the meat free selection. Pizzas range from buffalo mozzarella and basil to combinations featuring Italian sausage, nduja, prosciutto, burrata, goat cheese or black truffle.
Main courses include chicken Milanese, sea bass, halibut, lamb shank, veal osso buco and aged beef sirloin. Homemade lasagne, cannelloni and aubergine baked in tomato sauce provide comforting oven dishes alongside salads and grilled vegetables. Tiramisu, panna cotta, Sicilian cannoli, torta della nonna and gelato complete the menu, supported by Italian wine, cocktails, beer and coffee.
