Food
Trullo has long been counted among Islington's better modern Italian restaurants, built around seasonal, produce-led dishes and a bar-adjacent dining room that gets mixed feedback on comfort depending on where you're seated. Reviews swing between very positive — including a Father's Day lunch remembered fondly despite the heat — and more measured, with some diners finding the seasoning or execution just short of similar competitors in London. At 4.5 stars and expensive pricing, it's a reasonably safe choice for a relaxed Italian lunch or dinner, best suited to those not chasing the single best meal in the city but a solid, dependable one. It suits couples and small groups on a casual outing.

What people say
"4.5 Came for father's day and had a lovely lunch despite the heat. It was quite uncomfortable sitting near the bar and kitchen but everyone did their best. The food was very good, especially the salumi croquettes and the sourdough to start. The burrata with peach was delicious too. The pastas are very good. The pistachio pesto fettuccine, the Ragu and the mussels pasta were excellent. The pici was very thick so might not be for everyone. Lovely atmosphere in this little restaurant and child friendly as one of the waiting staff looked after a baby for a while for another table! Would recommend."
