Lardo

So this is my sister’s favourite place to dine in London and it exceeded all expectations! Firstly the wait staff were so friendly even though it was so busy. we were greeted by a lovely woman. I explained that I’m gluten and dairy free and she suggested me to talk to the head chef. A treatment I’ve never been exposed to even though I dine out a lot. He even suggested to cook me a dish that’s not on the menu even though it was so busy. I could not believe it. Not only was the service and the entire restaurant staff so accomodating and friendly, the food were exceptional. My sister and her boyfriend enjoyed the mushroom dish in particular. They said that was star of the night but we couldn’t fault anything. The atmosphere and decor were also fantastic. I highly recommend this place for tourists and locals. 10/10 experience that I share to my friends back in Australia visiting London.

Good pizza for a fair price, nice place for a quick bite. It feels like a neighbourhood gathering place. I find the seats and tables quite tight, and noisy (bad acoustics) to engage conversation.

A hidden in gem in Hackney, London. This restaurant and cocktail bar is tucked away in a street where you would never think of finding a restaurant. Located about 10 minutes walk from Hackney Central overground, it was a pleasure to visit Lardo. Whether you visit for food or just drinks, it’s a great experience. The restaurant is opened up with the kitchen so you can see the chefs preparing the food as well as watching the pizzas being cooked in the specially designed oven. The food was truly excellent and of Michelin standard. They do pizza which is good if you are hungry but the smaller dishes are expensive but well worth it for the flavour and creativity. The menu does change on a monthly basis. Ambience is excellent and the staff work brilliantly as a team. A great place hidden away in Hackney and highly recommended!
