Senza Fondo

Well...this place lives up to the Instagram hype! Excellent service from the moment we walked in. Visited on a Friday at 5;30pm. Lovely atmosphere and great music playing at the right volume. The food was sensational. Some crazy good lasagne which we'll be back for and the tiramisu was the best I've ever had. The Negroni's were very tasty too! Lovely service from the entire team. Big shout out to Charlie for looking after us and for Joe for the friendly banter. Keep it up guys!! This place is a winner!!

We walked so long to get here due to the busses being diverted and i was complaining the whole way. When we arrived our waitress was from Portugal 🇵🇹 which was awesome and the food was stellar! It was worth the time it took to get there. We day at the bar and watched the chef prepare meals with such care and delicacy. Great food and great atmosphere

I had wanted to go there for quite a while. Always in search for value for money in London via all-you-can-eat situations, I found Seza Fondo. An opportunity arose to visit on a weekend for lunch with 3 friends. The booking process was very easy and they even accomodated our premature arrival (~20 minutes early). The process for bottomless lasagne was not very well explained but the waitress did explain it well enough when asked (for those wondering, you ask for bottomless lasagne and they bring you a slice. Once your plate is empty they will collect and return with a new plate of lasagne). They offer a plethora of dishes and sides but we didn't partake in those. The lasagne. Honestly some of the nicest lasagne I have had in a long time. The filling is slow cooked beef shin ragu. The pasta can be a little dry on the odd portion where there are two layers of pasta without sauce in between but the bechamel more than makes up for it. Advice for those wanting to do it. The portions are huge. And there is a wait between each slice of lasagne (I waited up to 15 minutes between slices), so whilst it does seem bottomless, the cards are stacked against you to get your money's morth! Still managed 4 slices. The only negative I do have is that the music was quite loud for my liking. It was difficult to have a conversation around a 4 person booth at times.

Had a great lunch here yesterday. We got there just as they opened at 12:30. I had heard about their bottomless lasagna back in April and finally got a chance to try it. Really lovely, helpful and fast staff, amazing negroni, but the star of the show had to be the slow-cooked beef shin lasagna; generous with flavour and portions, sitting on a good dollop of béchamel and coated in a cloud of finely grated, fresh Parmesan. This is in the style of a traditional Italian lasagne, so topped with baked béchamel, don’t expect vast amounts of cheddar on top, as this is not traditional and therefore it is not as cloying as commercial over-cheesed lasagnas can be. The beef shin was generous and falling apart in a delicious ragu. I saw some reviews saying it was dry and flavourless a few moths ago; it looks like the owners have listened and corrected this with gusto. It was deliciously indulgent with a lot of ragu and béchamel. The ambience is really cool; gingham tablecloths, wooden interiors (including original wooden pillars from what feels like a century ago), green painted windows and pictures of the owners and staff on the wall complete the image of a side-street Italian restaurant in Little Italy, NYC. Highly recommend. The rest of the menu looks good enough to go back for and try something else. We did have the Sicilian anchovies to start which were nice, and while the waitress told us we might want bread, we didn’t order it, as I didn’t want to fill up on bread. But maybe a couple of small slices of crunchy bread served as part of the dish, rather than a side, to mop up the olive oil would be more in keeping with Italian culinary generosity, but I’m nit-picking here and I’m aware of how tight restaurant margins are in this economic climate, so it’s a small point. The owner Joe even made time to check in on us and tell us about the concept, including the fact that the lasagna is slow cooked in their wood-fired oven visible from the dining area. An odd, extra compliment on the establishment; these were probably the nicest-smelling and cleanest toilets I have ever been to in Shoreditch - having spent many a late night, and by extension… morning, in my younger days in Shoreditch clubs, this was genuinely nice to experience. London basement toilets are rarely a pleasant place to enter. Kudos to the cleaning staff and management on this. Overall, would recommend, especially for lunch as it took us a long walk after and the rest of the day to digest what was a lot of lasagna - in hindsight, maybe the second (and third) slices of lasagna were unnecessary.

Went here for the bottomless lasagna and a time was had!! Decor and atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely, good for dates, birthdays, or just going out with friends/colleagues. The prices were very affordable and they even have £5 negroni's. Their lasagna is absolutely delicious! The beef is rich and tender, the bechamel is creamy and the flavours are captivating. I managed to eat 2.5 slices before I had to stop for fear of popping. But the taste just makes you want to keep eating. Didn't try any sides as we didn't want to fill up on them; but pretty much everything on the menu sounded and looked (from what we saw on other people's tables) great. Highly recommend going here! Service was quick and friendly and we didn't have to wait long for anything we ordered. Will deffo be coming back!

Incredible food, lovely atmosphere with good music at the right volume, buzzing as it was full and great, friendly service. We knew we had to book ahead of time and I'm so glad we did. Definitely come with an empty stomach and be prepared for a food coma, the lasagne is great but don't skip dessert cause the tiramisu is incredible. We were lucky enough to go during negroni week and theirs were delicious too. All round a lovely dinner.

The lasagna was incredible! I have been waiting to come here for months and it certainly didn’t disappoint at all! We came on a Sunday so it was lovely and quiet and felt like we had the place to ourselves. All the staff were lovely and really made us feel comfortable and welcome. We did order starters but they didn’t arrive and I think just got missed off by accident. In the end it probably worked out for the best as we were so full from the yummy lasagna ☺️ Thanks so much and we look forward to returning

Went here for a birthday with a big group and had the set menu with bottomless lasagne. The lasagne was brilliant but way too much food with all the starters beforehand. If I went again I would skip the set menu and just go for the bottomless lasagne. Starters were nice enough with focaccia, oils, meats, olives and burrata but they filled us up before the main event. The gnocchi for the vegans and vegetarians came out much later than the lasagne which was a bit of a let down. Tiramisu for dessert was decent but very hard to enjoy after such a heavy main. Good atmosphere and a proper Italian feast.
