Rotorino, Beagle, restaurant reviews: Need a snapshot of the future ...

There is a lovely parallel between London – the ultimate example of the world in a city – and the global stage: in both, power is shifting to the east.

The pistachio casarecce (£7.50) is essentially the poshest pesto imaginable smothered over the sweet and salty green nuts, and a sausage gnocchetti sardi (£8) – slow-cooked sausage with red wine, chilli and breadcrumbs – is full of irresistibly bloody black-pudding flavour.

Beagle boasts a cocktail list, brunch and lunch menus, all of which are pretty good.

A very short menu, with just six mains, also provides a solid onglet steak with beetroot, pickled walnuts and strong horseradish (£16), and a whole lemon sole that comes beautifully off the bone and has grilled cucumber and sea beet for company.

The desserts are excellent, particularly the orange and vanilla burnt cream (£5.50) and a chocolate and praline tart with crème fraîche (£6.50).

New Restaurant Review: Rotorino | Londonist

It’s mooted as the area’s first chef-led restaurant (we can’t think of another), and according to reports is a sign that Dalston is finally growing up and becoming properly gentrified.

Another dish of pig’s head terrine is 50 pence cheaper and an absolute stand-out: it is deep fried, with a crisp exterior giving way to gooey, melty belly-style meat within, and it is one of the most indulgent nibbles we can imagine.

We continue further along the menu rather than getting waylaid, and in the traditional Italian way a pasta interlude is encouraged before moving onto mains.

The atmosphere is bustling and buoyant, the wines and small plates great value and a few indulgent flourishes almost genius.

But if we want pasta or meatballs, we’d rather go somewhere that feels a bit more Italian.

Meal for two, including drinks and service, £100 Rotorino is Stevie Parle’s difficult second album.

After a few supper clubs, Parle landed at the glass and steel showroom of furniture designer Tom Dixon in London’s Ladbroke Grove, for a residency called the Dock Kitchen.

Not that there’s much space for that sort of thing at Rotorino.

A special of seared veal kidneys, speared on a rosemary twig with cubes of deep-fried bread, the lot blanketed with a brilliant salsa verde, bright with the salty hit of capers, is a simple joy.

A burrida of white fish and clams in a chickpea broth is another glorious thing, and a reminder of why we all took Parle to our overfed hearts in the first place.

Every pub and bar within a mile of Dalston Junction is so rammed with cool kids discussing their portfolio careers that long straws in the drinks wouldn’t be a bad idea given the lack of elbow room.

So we stayed a while, appreciating our Dolcetto d’Alba, as recommended to us by resident wine consultant Ruth Spivey from the Italian-focused list.

Even just a few weeks after opening, this collaboration between chef-restaurateur Stevie Parle (of the Dock Kitchen on Ladbroke Grove), Ruth Spivey (of pop-ups Wine Car Boot, and Street Vin Wine at Hawker House) and Jonathan Downey (of last year’s Rotary Bar and Diner pop-up), has a lot of polish.

There’s also a handful of interesting pasta dishes including casarecce with a spicy sausage and red wine ragù, topped with crunchy fried breadcrumbs – a traditional, frugal alternative to parmesan.

A flash-cooked hanger steak, imbued with smokiness from the wood grill, was so tender the knife slid through it.
