Mattarello Bolognese is an Italian restaurant on Middlesex Street near Aldgate. Its cooking is centred on the food of Bologna, bringing traditional recipes from Emilia Romagna to the eastern edge of the City of London.
Fresh pasta is made by hand and forms the foundation of the restaurant’s identity. The name refers to the rolling pin traditionally used to shape pasta dough in Bologna, reflecting the practical craft behind the kitchen’s work.
Tagliatelle with ragù Bolognese is prepared using a meat and tomato sauce cooked slowly for several hours. Other pasta preparations broaden the selection, while gluten free and vegan choices allow more diners to experience the restaurant’s Italian cooking.
The restaurant opens daily from late morning until late in the evening and accepts reservations. Its location works for City lunches, relaxed evening meals and gatherings close to Aldgate, Liverpool Street and Spitalfields.
Address: 3 Middlesex Street, London E1 7AA, United Kingdom
