Harden's says
On the former site of wine bar Peg in Hackney's Morning Lane, a neighbourhood restaurant with a focus on home-style Italian cooking presented with modern pizzazz. Co-founder Gennaro Leone also runs a design gallery nearby, so the tiny interior is very classily decked out.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“An interesting menu with dishes you don’t find elsewhere” (for instance Puntarelle and skate wing salad, and Passatelli al ragu di Faraona) pique interest in this two-year-old corner café, whose Hackney site became well-known under its wine-driven former occupants (Peg and Legs, both RIP). Looks-wise, it has the air of a superior Italian café – with its tablecloths and trad creamy styling – and the overall formula creates a pleasing environment that’s “packed and very lively”.
Summary
On the former site of wine bar Peg in Hackney’s Morning Lane, this neighbourhood newcomer opened in late 2023 with a focus on relatively traditional Italian cooking from chef Mitchell Damota. Co-founder Gennaro Leone also runs a design gallery nearby, so the tiny interior is classily decked out. Reports please!
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
