Symposium

Symposium is a family-run Italian restaurant, wine bar and deli on Roman Road in Bow -- a genuine neighbourhood gem that brings the warmth, character and flavour of authentic Italian cucina to one of East London's most community-spirited high streets. The food and wine are lovingly sourced with a particular focus on natural, biodynamic and organic wines from small Italian producers, making Symposium a destination for natural wine lovers as well as those seeking honest, carefully made Italian food.

The menu covers Italian classics prepared with care and quality: antipasti, handmade pasta, risotto, secondi and a deli counter offering Italian charcuterie, cheeses and provisions to take home. The wine list champions producers making wine with minimal intervention, reflecting the family's genuine passion for the subject. A warm, welcoming space on Roman Road, popular with local residents and an excellent option for a relaxed weeknight dinner or weekend lunch.
