Sugo82, Netil Market

You'll find Sugo82 tucked into Netil Market, that brilliant corner of Hackney where creative types actually hang out rather than pose. Walk past the vintage stalls and vintage dealers, and you'll spot this compact Italian spot that takes its pasta seriously without any fussiness. There's something refreshing about a place where the owner clearly cares more about the quality of their flour than their Instagram following—the handmade pasta is the real deal here, and the sauces taste like someone actually knows what they're doing with tomatoes and garlic.
