an Italian restaurant in Bethnal Green - est.2011

Established in 2011, Ombra is a neighbourhood trattoria with a strong focus on seasonal produce, natural wines & freshly made pasta.

Ombra is an Italian restaurant located at the corner between the southern bit of Hackney and the Regent canal. It quietly opened in June 2011, reinvented itself a couple times during the pandemic and now it’s thriving more than it ever has.

Expect a laid back service, a short selection of mostly natural wines and a couple of more traditional stuff.

The menu is dictated by the best produce available either from the motherland or by local small farmers.
