This is Town, so imagine it in yellow for Motorino
He's only just opened Town, but Stevie Parle is already gearing up to open his second new restaurant of 2025. This one is called Motorino, which is clearly a reference to his previous Dalston restaurant Rotorino (which closed back in 2018). That was a joint effort with restaurateur Jonathan Downey and as he's also involved with Town, it seems likely that Downey has joined up with the chef for this opening too.
The chef revealed the news of the new restaurant in an interview with The Times, and for this one he's teaming up with chef Luke Ahearne, who was behind the launch of Lita (and certainly responsible for that restaurant quickly being awarded a Michelin star). Apparently, the decor will have the same retro-futuristic vibe as Town, but with a very yellow look, as opposed to Town's red palette.
The restaurant will seat 140 so it's a massive space, and once again Kevin Armstrong (Satan’s Whiskers) is going to be behind the cocktails. The details of the food are a little sparse, although they do say it will have an accessible price point. Parle has had success in the pasta game with Pastaio, so it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with in this partnership with Ahearne.
