Our Sunday menu launched last week, it combines favourites from the week with half or whole roast chickens, ninja pizza and our classic tiramisu. Kitchen 12-9, closing at 10.
We’ve got some mega natural wines that are showing well in this weather.
Last week was a sell out on the 🐓 so we’ve got extra. Booking advised.

It always starts in Italy, our pizzas are as crisp and chewy as ever, bowls of delicious pasta are still flowing and a week into the new menu and we’re feeling very excited for our little corner of London Fields.
The sun is going to shine and the terrace is ready for the bank holiday weekend.

LARDO, REIMAGINED.
After 13 years on the corner of London Fields, we’re stepping into something new.
From 12th May, Marta Sandini introduces her first menu as our Head Chef - bringing a bold, personal style shaped by Italy and kitchens across China, Australia, New York and beyond.
This is not a reinvention for the sake of it. It’s a shift in ambition.
Expect a sharper, evolving menu:
Cuttlefish Lardo, pine nut milk, wild garlic.
Potato & fermented cabbage spring roll, parmesan cream, chilli oil.
Open lasagna of confit rabbit, fermented radish, brown butter jus gras.
Pasta gets looser.
Vegetables get louder.
Pizza stays and the disco ball oven still spins but now it works harder.
Fermentation, fire, and instinct lead the way.
This is LARDO getting back to our roots with more of the things you love most - ingredient-led, passionate plates with more intent and more to say.
