"Technically, Lardo’s speciality is pizza. But that doesn’t mean they don’t make a mean pasta al forno. Not only have they reopened their large outdoor terrace in Hackney, they’ve also extended it to allow for even more outdoor seating. And let’s say you just accidentally order a puttanesca pizza alongside your pasta, that wouldn’t be the worst thing to ever happen. Not convinced yet? They’ve also got a couple of orange wines on their big drinks menu too." - heidi lauth beasley
"An excellent option for when you want to get some good food late on, Lardo is an easy choice for a last minute date night or catching up with a couple of mates. It’s primarily a pizza place, but there are salads and specials are also good too. If you want to spend less than twenty quid in a buzzy but intimate atmosphere, then this is a very reliable choice. It gets pretty busy for both brunch and dinner so it’s best to book unless, like us, you head there later on." - Jake Missing
"Perfect pizza, bloody good Bloody Mary's, wholesome winter dishes, indulgent desserts... This is where you need to be for brunch. Or lunch. Or dinner! Friendly waiters, a beautiful open kitchen and a pizza oven from your disco dreams, we can't recommend this Italian eatery enough." - MultiAdaptor
