About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    This was our first, and certainly not last, visit to Darling’s and we were blown away by the food. The flavours were fantastic and the service was very friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend it enough

    Delicious pasta - superb courgette fritti. Delightful service and good drinks choices. Excellent value for money - worth going off the beaten track for. A strong recommendation!

    Went here for an anniversary with my partner and food, drinks, the vibes and everything was amazing 💕. The only thing was that the staff seemed super busy so the service was a bit inattentive and slower. Personally, I didn’t really mind it as I prefer to have a slow-paced, uninterrupted meal :)

    Fantastic value for money with Valentines set at £38pp. Starters and cocktails were really good. The main dishes were ok, a bit too much of the cheese on both made it a bit “same same”. Would have been better if one dish has completely different flavour profile. Overall service was fantastic, ambience of the place was great. Good music. One thing…the venue was cold tho 🥶

    Came across this by chance when attending ABBA Voyage. So glad e found it. Don't be put off by the approach past a petrol station and into an industrial estate! The dining area is lovely, with the cooks visible across the serving counter. We shared a couple of starters and main courses but could only manage one desert between us, all of which were delicious. The wine list was good with some wines we had not tried before, our chosen one was again very good. The service was excellent and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very cozy and friendly.

    Expensive for what you get. Quality of my main course was disappointing, though the starters were nice. Good choice and quality of wines. Somewhat noisy.
