"Highbury and Islington is one of the busiest stations in the UK, but at Trullo everyone feels like they have all the time in the world. The neighbourhood Italian is a restaurant that isn’t just loved, it’s utterly adored. Everything from anniversaries to afternoons off are celebrated here, be it with a plate of glorious beef shin pappardelle or over a bottle of Barolo. If adult playgrounds were a thing, they would likely look like this. All waltzing candles and white tablecloths begging to be stained. Trullo is the older sibling to pasta spot Padella, but it's the bigger plates that you should pay most attention to at the north London restaurant. That and the tiramisu to finish." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
