Elisa Ey

One of my favourite restaurants in the area. But not great for groups . Better for date nights , with a seat at the bar . Burrata is excellent, and so are the pasta dishes and mains. Tasty and authentic

Trish

Three of the hardest working chefs in London and their lovely shiny pizza oven rescued my hitherto disappointing evening. Caution: sitting at the bar will make you want everything on the menu. Do it.

Olives are fantastic, burrata is not to be missed, salad with sun dried tomatoes can be shared, pizzas aren't small (def larger than avg personal pan pizzas ) & we loved the pasta & Zorzal vino too!

Felix Cohen

Delicious food at very reasonable prices and the first grappa I've really enjoyed! Great atmosphere and a lovely respite from the cold. Just be a bit respectful of that n'duja, it's certainly spicy .

Jeffrey James

Good food & pizzas are a good balance of cheese & sauce. Cocktails good, but small in size & took a while to be made. Drinks service was slow overall. A good date place or if you're in a group.

Hannah Stanton

Consistently good food, often my go to restaurant for this reason. Fantastic staff . If you're local get a locals card - 20% off for lunch !

George Garofalakis

A really nice place. Interesting tastes and good quality of the ingredients. Even the bread at the start was amazing. The pizza with the broccoli was really interesting but a bit too much.

Al Ghaff

Probably the best Italian in Hackney! Atmosphere's good & staff are helpful (the menu's fully in Italian, so if you don't understand the language, staff are available to help out)!

Polly Averill

Eat the delicious burrata , bright green meaty olives and wonderful pizzas . A great bloody mary too!

Juliana Martinhago

The Food, atmosphere, selection of drinks and service are great. Highly recommend booking a table on Fridays or weekends as the place gets very busy!

Joybolicious

tried the fennel sausage pasta , beetroot/carrot salad , prosciutto pizza and it was ALL AMAZING. the best italian i've had here in london so far!

Utku Can

Try for the high bar stools in front of the kitchen. Not only you'll have a great view , you'll also get looked after by the chefs !

Pete Marcus

Lovely authentically "Hackney" restaurant - open kitchen , wooden tables , strip lighting, china plates, tattooed clientele. Nice food and a fun environment.

Emma Black

While the atmosphere and cocktails are great, I can't help but feel the pizza is pricey for what it is. I can however recommend the burrata - it's delicious ( even if not much cooking goes into it)

Rasmus Skjoldan

Fantastic (gluten-free) experience with kids

Ceara Pixie

Very tasty meats and a good selection of original, tasty pizzas . Can't wait to go back to try more!

Steven Jackson

Gluten free pizza base average. Toppings made up for it highly recommend the seafood pizza .

Roberto Bua

Great place. Amazing Burrata , make sure you get the fresh peppers and sausage .

BarChick

Richmond Road’s new hangout is heaving with east siders who are drawn to this banging new pizza and charcuterie restaurant tucked within the neighbourhood.... http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/lardo

Emma Black

The artichoke fritti with parmesan cream. The pizza dough was brilliant but the toppings were ok and I don't feel that the 12.50 prize tag justified with Franco Manca being as good at 1/2 the price.

Cameron Beveridge

Pizza , brunch , drinks. It’s all delicious here. Very cosy, rustic style food and ambience.

Tim Davey

Best menu items are those which aren't the pizzas . The starters are amazing, get a few to share. Live a little!

Dave P

Really nice place, not the usual franchise big chain. Personal and really good ingredients used. Had the pizza and was not let down

Angela Liu

Brilliant italian restaurant , especially the pizza

Simon Donaldson

Pizzas are not too small! I had to leave some. I recommend you try something you wouldn't normally go for... Be surprised!

Cyndie Da Rocha

I wanted to like but I did not. Pizzas were average, taste was to strong. I was served a pizza burnt too salty and could not eat it. I asked a new one, no problem to replace it quickly.Nice staff

Cole Kennedy

Extremely cool space with solid pizzas . I think I liked the pasta better though.

4/5 stars: Lardo has legs: when the novelty-seekers have moved on, it will still be here making nouveau middle-class Hackney’s denizens happy. Read more

Will Pitchers

Trendy Italian restaurant local to Hackney. Buzzing atmosphere and authentic pizzas .

David Hunt

Equally good for brunch as a relaxed evening meal. Nice staff and a great menu.

Stephen Barber

Love the front bench in the sunshine with a flat white and baked eggs on the way. But I'm biased!

Aimee Kitson

These guys do great gluten free pizza ! Just remember to remind them it's g free. Spiced lardo is epic too!

David F

Bacon , egg and avocado toast was great. Pizzas light and delicious.

Vladimir

Great choice of vegetarian pizzas ; inventive cocktails ; amaro

Ferran Mv

Overpriced. Pizza is not worth £12.5 and starters are expensive (cost of calamari and burrata are around £1.5 & sell for £9.2 and £6.5). Good service but food is a hipster rip off. For me its a 6.

Valentina Ciolino

Great pizza . Try the specials, especially if they have burrata .

ian hogarth

Fantastic small plates eg cuttlefish with chickpeas . Perfect hackney brunch spot

Ferran Mv

The ratings of people that say excellent burrata and olives should not count. Come on guys, theres 0 cooking there.

Bilge U

Riccardo G.

Nice place ans nice pizza . The service was very welcoming

We asked for some extra bread for the appetizers . Well , to be fair , we didn't specify how much bread we actually wanted.

Mat A

Great pizzas , cocktails and small sharing plates
