A feature by columnist Riccha Grrover for Asian Lite International

Spagnoletti in King’s Cross brings a vibrant twist to London’s culinary scene. The restaurant offers freshly made dishes throughout the day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—crafted from scratch in a theatrical open kitchen that draws in diners with the sights, sounds, and aromas of live cooking.

A New Flour-Lab Concept at King’s Cross

This venue introduces a bold new concept: a flour lab at the heart of King’s Cross. The menu is a collaborative love letter between talented chefs and a wacky, design-forward interior inspired by engineering legend Charles Spagnoletti.

Multi-Zoned Interiors for Every Occasion

The cleverly divided interior caters to everyone—from solo diners and groups to business events and private parties. Upstairs, guests will find the Spagnoletti Spritz Lounge, featuring a long communal bar serving draught Venetian wines, craft beer on tap, and innovative cocktails.

Live Pasta Making & Cicchetti Delights

From lunchtime onwards, you can watch the chefs craft agnoletti, rigatoni, and beautiful cicchetti (Italian small plates) from the open kitchen that commands the centre stage of the ground floor.

Design Inspired by Innovation

The creative genius behind Spagnoletti’s interior is Henry Chebaane, who envisioned a vibrant, exuberant restaurant hidden behind a 19th-century façade. The concept and name pay homage to Charles Spagnoletti—the London engineer who developed the early telegraphic signalling systems used on the Metropolitan line and later, throughout the British railway network.

Every detail—pipes, lighting, signage—echoes the spirit of invention. Around every corner, there’s a hidden surprise or design detail waiting to be discovered.
