Ombra in Tower Hamlets

Amazing staff, really different and interesting food. Great natural wine selection in a beautiful setting. We had the tasting menu which was slightly on the expensive side but very impressive. Pasta and oysters were out of this world!

Came for lunch and quite impressed with an authentic Italian restaurant in East London by the canal area. The starters were greatly tasted - scallops were refreshing and cuttlefish with Black ink sauce. The pastas were alright particularly the tonnarelle which taste like spaghetti. Freshly cooked! Each dish comes separately making a long lunch! Overall I think it’s nice place to eat in for sure for some authentic Italian dish.

The food was of very high quality and the service attentive and friendly. Would definitely come back to try more of their pasta! It wasn’t overly busy on Sunday (lunchtime) and there is decent spacing b/n tables. Relaxed vibe.

Fantastic Saturday lunch here - we had the gnocco, artichoke and vongole to share. Everything was light and delicious. Perfect to soak up after a heavy Friday night! Good selection of aperitifs (not that easy to find Cynar in London) and amaros for dessert. Service was lovely. Faultless really!

Fresh hand made pasta is out of this world! Every dish is carefully prepared with love.Smoked eel was amazing! It’s one of my favourite dishes.I loved Orange wine. It went well with mushroom pasta.Tiramisu is SO good!

Tasty food, nothing special though. Very solid average. Good desserts! I did not catch the vibe of the place. 4 instead of 3 only because they have amazing wine list.

Way too expensive. £210 for a diner for two. My friend booked this place and we didn’t know what to expect since they don’t have any price list on their website. We went on a Saturday evening to get the set menu. Again, no price inside the restaurant either so we just had to go with the flow and accept the menu as it was.The food was very fish based, tasted okay but nothing exceptional.We just got 2 set meal and a single bottle of wine and the bill came up to £210. We were honestly shocked, didn’t expect it to be that expensive.Only positive thing is actually the servers, they were all very fun and professional.Still wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Had an amazing dinner here back in May for my friend's 25th birthday, it was memorable in every way - the food, attentive service, and a truly impeccable birthday tiramisu! Will definitely be coming back, thank you Ombra!

Did a 30th Birthday long lunch for a table of 10 with the set menu. Food was excellent. Vibe was lovely at the outdoor table/bench. Everyone enjoyed themselves and was very impressed. So pleased!! Thanks Ombra.
