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.

Pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed the food, cocktails and cakes. The service was a bit slow as in not asking if we wanted a drink or the bill for a very long time! But we got our food quickly so didn’t take away from the experience. I’ll definitely be back
