Dara Klein is the brain (and chef) behind London’s Tiella, an Italian pop up inside (Islington pub) the Compton Arms, cooking up some of the heartiest and homiest Italian food we’ve found in the capital.
Dara brings experience from Trullo, Rubedo, Brawn and Sager + Wilde and the menu at Tiella is full of simple stars, be they a clam and chickpea stew or a mozzarella, white peach and anchovy salad that’s served at precisely the perfect temperature. Dara knows it’s the small details that really count. We caught up with her to find out about growing up in New Zealand, how her Italian heritage has influenced the menu, and why Italian food is so well-suited to a pub setting.
