Bella Vita
Bella Vita is an amazing restaurant that opened in 2009. They offer classic Italian dishes – starters, pizza, pasta, desserts, and other authentic Italian food you must try!
We need to point out that all of their pizzas are made with handmade dough and are baked in wood-fired ovens which give their pizza that authentic taste!
We highly recommend starting off with their deep-fried courgette served with marinara sauce as well as the Arancini (deep-fried rice balls with truffle and taleggio).
We also love their Porcini Pasta (mushrooms, white wine sauce) and
Gamberi e Pomodorino Pasta (Tagliatelle, king prawns, cherry tomato, and bisque sauce).
And don’t forget to leave room for their desserts – the Tiramisu is incredible!

Lardo is a beautiful Italian restaurant with an incredible venue and some of the best Italian food in Hackney! Not only is the food tasty but they try not to overprice it making them affordable!
We highly recommend their Zucchini salad with feta cheese, mint, a lemon, red onions, and tahini.
They serve tasty and simple pizzas – a pizza with artichoke, tomato, mozzarella, roast garlic salsa, a pizza with seafood, chili, and tomato herb salsa, and many more interesting and unique combinations you can’t get anywhere else!
Also, all of their pasta is homemade and fresh!
