The Concept
Il Bambini Club is nestled within the bustling lobby of The Hoxton in Shoreditch. Designed by Virginie Friedmann and Delphine Verace, renowned for their work on Hotel La Pérouse in Nice, this trattoria marries the lively spirit of the area with the inviting embrace of Italian hospitality. It offers a versatile setting for both spirited gatherings and quieter, intimate meals.
What to Expect
The menu is a testament to the joys of sharing. Small plates and hearty mains coexist harmoniously. Prosciutto tortellini in a rich parmesan cream and the diavola pizza, adorned with burrata, stand out. The meatballs, bathed in a sweet tomato sauce and topped with whipped ricotta, are memorable. Conclude with 'Bombini di Bambini' doughnuts. The hum of Shoreditch permeates the room, yet a booth offers a more secluded experience.
The Verdict
Il Bambini Club captures a balance of bustle and warmth, making it a compelling addition to Shoreditch. Opt for a booth to escape the crowd's buzz. Order the meatballs—they spark conversation.
