Took my boyfriend for a celebration yesterday and we really love this little hidden gem on Fish Island! Loved the food, the atmosphere and how quick the service was! Will definitely come back another time.

I recently enjoyed the most gorgeous dining experience at Darlings, over a long lunch with friends. Every detail was carefully thought about, and the food and drinks flowed throughout which is credit to the incredible service and staff. Stand out dishes included the tuna melon starter, focaccia, the anchovy pasta and of course the tiramisu!! Most importantly, don’t skip the amaro at the end, it’s the perfect pairing with desert. So looking forward to my next visit already!

Darlings is an absolute must. A true hidden gem in Hackney. Charming little restaurant with gorgeous interiors, very relaxed and chic vibe. Service was incredibly attentive and didn’t skip a beat.The food was perfect. Best focaccia I’ve had in a long time. Don’t miss the tuna melon dish. The truffle burrata and the sausage leek and fennel mafaldine was heaven, finished with the tiramisu with their house amaro. This spot is so fab for any occasion. Looking forward to coming again!

Had the most amazing night at Darlings! The food is 10/10, fresh flavours and ingredients and beautiful presentation! The restaurant is warm and aesthetic and the perfect place for a date night or to catch up with a group of friends. The pasta was some of the best I’ve had ever and tiramisu is a game changer. The staff are lovely, you have to go and try it yourself!

A lovely restaurant hidden somewhere in Hackney Wick. The atmosphere is good, staff are friendly, but the pasta were not 100% our type, a bit too dry, taste of sauce could be better and more. The truffle burrata is amazingly delicious. Good spot for local to chill.
