Da Pino

The team responsible for the much-missed Bianca’s has relaunched the 175 Stoke Newington Rd location as Da Pino, shifting to a contemporary Italian approach. The menu demonstrates clear creative ambition, pairing tomato ravioli and more traditional primis with modern antipasti such as raw scallops in peanut milk and red peppers with black sesame tart.

Moving through the concise menu, dishes like grilled rice with mussels and potatoes, chicken with kalibos cabbage and sabayon, or sourdough bread miso ice cream signal an intent to surprise within the bounds of Italian inspiration. The restaurant maintains an accessible feel, reserving counter space for walk-ins and inviting neighbours to see how far Stoke Newington’s take on Italian cooking can stretch beyond familiar lines.
