Harden's survey result
Summary
“A relatively limited menu allows for a focus on quality” and authenticity at this duo showcasing the food of Emilia-Romagna: both the original “small and intimate” branch in Shoreditch; and the one “formerly known as ‘In Parma by Food Roots’ in Fitzrovia (since early 2023 now rebranded in line with its sister restaurant)”. “Staff are very accommodating” and offer “Italian meats and cheeses and Bolognese/Emilian standbys, like Tagliatelle al Ragu (definitely not SpagBol!)”. “Go back frequently as it’s great value too”.
Summary
“Exemplary small-plates and pasta” is the focus at this small Hoxton showcase for the marvellous cuisine of Emilia-Romagna (think Bologna, Modena, Parma, etc). The dishes are even named in the local dialect.
Summary
Pasta made with ingredients from Emilia-Romagna is the specialty at this 40-seater Italian, just off Hoxton Square, praised by fans for its splendid, “simple” dishes of excellent quality.
Summary
“Delicious filled pasta” made exclusively with ingredients from Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy: that’s the proposition at this “tiny, Spartan place just off Hoxton Square”, which has earned solid ratings in its first year. It has also introduced the region’s fried bread, gnocco fritto, to London, apparently. Sister establishment Parma in Fitzrovia focuses on cheese, charcuterie and Lambrusco wine.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
