Mattarello Bolognese

On Aldgate’s Middlesex Street, Mattarello Bolognese brings the heart and soul of Emilia-Romagna to the City.

Here, the craft begins with sfoglia, the paper-thin fresh egg pasta rolled by traditional sfogline, and every plate is an ode to Bologna’s quiet confidence and generous flavour.

Handmade ribbons of tagliatelle meet slow-cooked ragù - lasagne verdi alla Bolognese arrives in emerald layers - parmigiana di melanzane offers comfort with a creamy lift.

From a charcuterie selection of salumi DOP Emiliani to a cotoletta cloaked in Parmigiano and Parma ham, the menu favours honest ingredients and time-honoured technique.

A ribeye tagliata di manzo keeps carnivores content, while sides of patate al forno e rosmarino and spinaci con burro e parmigiano complete the table. Gluten-free options certified by Coeliac UK ensure no one misses out.

Cosy yet refined, the dining room suits easy lunches and lingering suppers, all set against Aldgate’s urban hum. Book in, twirl your fork, and let Bologna do the talking!
