Roll up, roll up – there’s a brand new number one in Time Out’s list of the 20 best new restaurants in London.
Congratulations to the extremely well-deserving Tiella!
The Italian restaurant, which opened last month, has shot straight to the top of our ranking of the finest new places to eat in the capital. The list collates our critics’ reviews to find the best new openings of the past 12 months, and this Bethnal Green trattoria blew us away.
‘Tiella is what eating out is all about: the warmest of welcomes, a subtle dose of glamour, incredible food, and the vague sense that nothing much else matters beyond the restaurant’s front door,’ reads the review. ‘A triumph.’

Tiella began life as a kitchen residency at The Compton Arms in Islington, which is also where Four Legs – the chefs who went on to open The Plimsoll and Tollington’s in Finsbury Park – started their journey. It’s the project of Italian-born, New Zealand-raised chef Dara Klein, who previously worked at nearby Brawn, as well as Sager and Wilde and Trullo (another of our favourite Italian restaurants in London).
The menu digs into regional Italian classics, with dishes such as chicken Milanese, Venetian anchovies in saor, and passatelli in brodo from Emilia Romagna currently available.
Tiella can be found inside a revamped 175-year old pub, once The Globe, at 109 Columbia Road in Bethnal Green, east London. It’s open Wednesday-Sundays.
