Darling’s is a fresh pasta eatery in East London. Overlooking Olympic Park, the eatery is a hidden gem in Fish Island where the industrial and creative spaces converge. Roman Road, Bow, Hackney Wick and Victoria Park are just a stroll away from your weekly treat of freshly made pasta and wine from independent producers.

Egle Loit, a trained pasta chef, has previously popped up mostly around East and North London, creating a buzz with her pre-restaurant residency at Vestry House Museum in 2023.

Founder of Darling’s cares dearly about the craft that fresh pasta making requires. “One can turn humble ingredients into abundance with skill,” shares the restaurateur.

Darling’s is designed to be an open space to be shared between the guests and the team, therefore there are no barriers between the service area and the dining area. You’ll find yourself connecting by enjoying your meal at the shared table. Those, who like to hide away, can still do it at separate tables.

You’ll learn how to make fresh pasta using just flour and water with exciting sauces at home without needing any specific equipment. More than anything, you’ll spend 3 hours on a relaxed afternoon or evening creating & eating pasta by hand and making some new friends along the way . I have reasons to believe that fresh pasta making could become your new favourite form of self-care. It’s just so meditative. The pasta you have made, will be served as a dinner with a couple of different sauces ( vegan/vegetarian options available) at a set table. This will be so wholesome! We will also be tasting through some fantastic wines from all over Italy with with our wine expert on hand to guide us throughout.

The last of the party arrived at the booked arrival time of 5:30. The main course arrives at 7:05pm, over 1.5 hours later. And that was after we’d warned the staff 30 minutes earlier that we needed to leave by 7:10pm. Moreover the manager failed to apologise to the table, although did take two of the four mains off the bill and did seem to be berating the kitchen staff, although that’s hardly fun to watch as a punter in an open kitchen environment. And then she’d lied about our arrival time in her response to my first version of this review. When the pasta arrived it was pretty horribly over salted. The burrata was fridge cold and flavourless. The pumpkin slices were good, though at (if I remember correctly) £12 for 4 meagre slices was hardly worth it. The six grilled cauliflower florets were tasty but similar value. The portions are very small, so expect to have to order 2 starters and a main or a starter and two mains. Speak to the bank manager before you come if you’re hungry. Given we really had to go out of our way to go here, it was an extremely disappointing experience. I would not go again under any circumstances. Oh and the place was bloody freezing. And given the managers/founder subsequent response to the review, I am now very suspicious of all the 5 star reviews. There seem to be be only 1/2 star a 5 star reviews. Rather odd.

Thank you for your feedback, Iarla! We were happy to welcome you 20 minutes early, though this may have extended your perceived wait. I personally brought focaccia as an apology while you waited for your mains and explained a plumbing issue that caused delays. Once aware of your time constraints, we removed the mains from your bill, though I wish we had known sooner. Our menu is designed for sharing, but portions are flexible to suit guests’ preferences. We’re sorry the seasoning wasn’t to your taste and will address the burrata being fridge-cold. The heating was at its maximum, but we could have seated you closer to the radiators had we known. We regret your visit didn’t meet expectations and appreciate your feedback to help us improve. Warm regards, Egle

Had high hopes but somewhat disappointed - the place itself is beautifully considered and intimate (but note that lots of the seating is at communal style table or on stools). One starter was great (albeit a ball of burrata), the other two were good enough but nothing special. £5 portion of focaccia was very small. In fact - all portions were far too small for the prices. And sadly, our two pastas were both considerably over salted. The leek and sausage ragu had minuscule amounts of sausage and no leek - making it essentially a small bowl of buttery cheesy pasta - which is disappointing for £18. We were given a free tiramisu to make up for it which we of course really appreciated, but found this to be lacking in coffee and alcohol flavours and too heavy on the mascarpone. Our total bill came to over £100 which included a tiny plate of focaccia, three starters, two small bowls of pasta, a beer and a small glass of wine.

Dear Eliza, Thank you for your feedback and for appreciating the ambiance of our space. We’re sorry to hear some dishes fell short of your expectations. The leek in our sausage ragù is buttered down for flavour, though subtle, and we’ll revisit the seasoning to ensure it shines. Our tables are arranged for a communal yet intimate experience, which we understand may not suit everyone. Regarding portions, we aim to balance quality ingredients with value, though we’ll reflect on your comments. While we’re glad you appreciated the complimentary tiramisu, we’ll take your feedback on its flavor onboard. Just a gentle reminder that service fees are included in the bill. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts; they help us improve. Warm regards, Egle

Was so looking forward to this but food didn’t live up to expectations. Some flavours just didn’t work
Darling's Eatery and StudioRespondió hace 2 días
Dear Kate, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the food didn’t meet your expectations, especially after you were looking forward to your visit. It would have been really helpful to hear more about what didn’t work for you while you were here, so we could address it right away and make it right. We take great care in crafting our dishes and will review the flavors you mentioned. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a better experience next time. Warm regards, Egle

smallish plates that tasted nice but didn’t wow us paired with slow service. we ordered all our dishes to share and they decided for us which dishes came out and when, which was annoying
Darling's Eatery and StudioRespondió el 27 de noviembre de 2024
Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the flavours, though we’re sorry to learn that the overall experience didn’t wow you. Our goal is to curate the dining journey as thoughtfully as possible, carefully considering the sizes of the dishes and the flow of them being sent. That said, we understand that preferences vary, and we’ll reflect on how we can better communicate or adapt this approach to suit our guests’ needs. Being a small restaurant, Friday evenings around 7 and 8 o’clock can indeed be busier and more energetic. If you’re seeking a quieter atmosphere with quicker service, we’d recommend visiting us on a Thursday evening or during the day on Saturday for a more relaxed experience.

Die Vorspeisen waren ganz OK, die Pastagerichte allesamt recht fade und nichts besonderes. Die Auswahl an Hauptgerichten ist extrem klein. Die Pasta war nie im Leben frisch und selbst gemacht. Für eine Eatery mitten im Industrieareal unangemessen teuer.
Darling's Eatery and StudioRespondió el 27 de noviembre de 2024
Thank you for your feedback—it’s always valuable to hear our guests’ thoughts. We can confidently assure you that all of our pasta is made fresh, in-house, with the utmost care and attention to quality. Our intentionally short menu reflects our commitment to offering seasonal, sustainable dishes and minimising waste, which we believe is an important part of our philosophy. Regarding pricing, our most expensive dish is currently £18, and we aim to provide excellent value for the quality of ingredients and care in preparation. Of course, we understand that perceptions of value can vary, and we’re grateful for your perspective. Thank you again for visiting us!

What a joke of a restaurant. Pasta were average, still looking for my meat in my ragu pasta. But the worst was the owner. Hospitality wasn’t the right path for her. This place sucks.
Darling's Eatery and StudioRespondió el 27 de noviembre de 2024
I’m sorry to hear that you felt this way, especially after our conversation in person. As the owner, I spoke with you directly, and you mentioned enjoying the meal and ambience, even saying you’d recommend us to your friends. You also shared your disappointment about the no-show fee since one of your friends couldn’t make it due to illness. Please know that the charge is not meant to punish our guests, but rather to help us manage the impact of no-shows. We truly wish your friend could have joined and that your experience had been more positive. You mentioned that you’d understand the fee for larger groups, and I explained that it applies regardless of table size, as no-shows affect us equally.
