Elisa EyMarch 25, 2016One 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
TrishApril 26, 2013Three 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.
rosie (siman) yakobMay 13, 2013Olives 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 CohenNovember 2, 2012Delicious 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 JamesSeptember 17, 2014Good 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 StantonSeptember 18, 2017Consistently 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 GarofalakisMarch 15, 2014A 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 GhaffFebruary 23, 2014Probably 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 AverillJanuary 5, 2016Eat the delicious burrata, bright green meaty olives and wonderful pizzas. A great bloody mary too!
Juliana MartinhagoNovember 22, 2013The Food, atmosphere, selection of drinks and service are great. Highly recommend booking a table on Fridays or weekends as the place gets very busy!
Pete MarcusApril 16, 2015Lovely authentically "Hackney" restaurant - open kitchen, wooden tables, strip lighting, china plates, tattooed clientele. Nice food and a fun environment.
JoyboliciousOctober 6, 2013tried 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 CanSeptember 21, 2015Try 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!
Emma BlackFebruary 21, 2016While 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)- Ceara PixieNovember 19, 2015Very tasty meats and a good selection of original, tasty pizzas. Can't wait to go back to try more!
BarChickNovember 7, 2012Richmond 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
Steven JacksonOctober 21, 2019Gluten free pizza base average. Toppings made up for it highly recommend the seafood pizza.
- Roberto BuaSeptember 6, 2014Great place. Amazing Burrata, make sure you get the fresh peppers and sausage.
Emma BlackMay 2, 2015The 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 BeveridgeJune 8, 2019Pizza, brunch, drinks. It’s all delicious here. Very cosy, rustic style food and ambience.- Tim DaveyNovember 26, 2014Best menu items are those which aren't the pizzas. The starters are amazing, get a few to share. Live a little!
Dave PMarch 7, 2015Really nice place, not the usual franchise big chain. Personal and really good ingredients used. Had the pizza and was not let down
Pizzas are not too small! I had to leave some. I recommend you try something you wouldn't normally go for... Be surprised!
Metro.co.ukDecember 11, 20124/5 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
Cyndie Da RochaSeptember 17, 2017I 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 KennedyApril 28, 2018Extremely cool space with solid pizzas. I think I liked the pasta better though.
Will PitchersSeptember 8, 2015Trendy Italian restaurant local to Hackney. Buzzing atmosphere and authentic pizzas.
David HuntAugust 7, 2014Equally good for brunch as a relaxed evening meal. Nice staff and a great menu.
Love the front bench in the sunshine with a flat white and baked eggs on the way. But I'm biased!
Aimee KitsonAugust 14, 2013These guys do great gluten free pizza! Just remember to remind them it's g free. Spiced lardo is epic too!
ian hogarthApril 14, 2013Fantastic small plates eg cuttlefish with chickpeas. Perfect hackney brunch spot
Ferran MvNovember 4, 2015Overpriced. 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.- Ferran MvNovember 4, 2015The ratings of people that say excellent burrata and olives should not count. Come on guys, theres 0 cooking there.
MichalJuly 21, 2013We asked for some extra bread for the appetizers. Well, to be fair, we didn't specify how much bread we actually wanted.
- If you ask nicely, and they're not too busy, you can get take-away pizza!
