Harden's says
From the folks behind Sager + Wilde in Hackney and Bethnal Green, a new pizza place offering sourdough bases, wine, cocktails and (in their own words) “mind-blowing coffee”.
Harden's survey result
Summary
With a bright, modern interior lit by big floor-to-ceiling windows, this flexible neighbourhood amenity near Old Street is a canteen and bar that opens all day from breakfast. It’s from the team behind well-known Hackney wine bar Sager + Wilde, hence an above-par drinks offering. But food is far from incidental: there’s a “constantly changing, seasonal menu” of southern European small plates, some larger risotti, pasta and burgers and it majors in a big range of pizza. Top Tip – it “can handle large parties with ease”.
Summary
“A reliable spot for light Italian-style lunch or dinner” near Silicon Roundabout, with a strong drinks list courtesy of its co-founders: sommelier Michael Sager of Sager + Wilde and mixologist Marcis Dzelzainis. “The pizza dough is some of the best and the toppings are very different from your usual Italian”, the pasta is home-made, and the grills are “just as good”.
Summary
With its chic take on simple Italian food, this three-year-old near Silicon Roundabout, where Clerkenwell meets Shoreditch, “has become a favourite pizzeria” in the area – “although their other food is just as good”, including home-made pasta. “The Saturday afternoon special with pizza and cocktails is very good value”.
For 33 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).
