    Fine pizza place but nothing exceptional. I had a rather…read moregood Margherita but it wasn't cooked that evenly (looking around most of the pizzas coming out had quite big parts of the crust burned). However, the worst is the sheet of paper over the plate that you end up eating, awful. Service is good and the restaurant itself is pretty nice.

    I've been patiently waiting for a good, non-frightening/dodgy pizza joint for the area. And…read morethis-is-it!! From the people who run the Coffee Room just a few doors down comes the Pizza Room. This is GOOD pizza. Really really good! The crust is solid. Sauce is really nice. And thank god the cheese is not only great but they don't skimp on it. The toppings they use are both authentic Italian and a tad on the exotic side. The interior of the place is small and cozy with about 6 or so tables for 4-6 people per table. The people working are really nice and chatty. And more is to come. Apparently we can expect some salad, soups, and deserts to appear in the near future. I also asked about some pasta dishes and they said they've received similar interest and that perhaps some day but not sure how it can be done with their kitchen size (so keep pressing the issue Yelpers to help show interest!) The only downside I have is the interiors needs just a few more tweaks (such as some nice music and a couple more decorations) and the price. Not that £10 is a rip off for this pizza but I feel a pound or so less would be right on the money for value. These are by no mean deal breakers though. Either way let's rejoice and hope the proprietors continue to take over the whole street with similar considerate establishments.

    Had a bit of a concerning experience here and only giving two starts instead of one because the man…read moreworking was really kind. I came in for a pre-dinner drink and asked for a gin martini (which, for the record, is on the menu for a whopping 15 pounds). I asked if they could make it with Tanqueray and the man said sure. He said they didn't have any olive brine which I said was fine. He then asked if I was American (I am but just moved here) and he made a comment about how much Americans love martinis. I was like okay sure, but this can't be that strange here given London's reputation with gin. Anyway, I'll spare the details, but basically he makes me a martini. While he's making it, I notice he puts in a bizarre amount of dry vermouth (a lot) which I took as a miscommunication because I had asked for it dry and maybe he doesn't know that means light vermouth? I taste it and I KNOW it's horrible wrong. It occurs to me, several sips in, that he thinks Martini and Rossi dry vermouth = a martini....I'm drinking straight dry vermouth. I didn't finish it, overpaid for my glass of dry vermouth, and left. I've had a hard time finding a gin martini in london given the prevalent pub scene but this place had one on the menu! I wouldn't fault them if they didn't, but come on....that's pretty bad. Man was lovely otherwise this would be a hard one star review unfortunately.

It was loaded with fresh clams, garlic, and tomatoes. Delicious. My husband had a pizza with prosciutto and olives that was fantastic. We also shared prosciutto and melon that was really good as well. Had to look up the meaning of La Figa. And yes, it goes with the logo that is all over the restaurant. Not sure if the name is appropriate for the times.

Quality/Quantity - Small simple menu done very well. Including the beer, good beer! My self made flight was good. I was worried that I ordered too many... All my beers were good. Can I suggest adding flights to your menu? Guest beers are also offered, see picture. Kegged wines, wines on tap. Pizza was great, sorry if I offended the "chef" by asking for parmesan cheese. I guess extra parmesan cheese is an Italian thing, not a UK thing...? We ordered the sweet potato, stilton & walnut pizza. Gluten free and vegan options are also available. Atmosphere - Amazing space, huge, indoor/outdoor, two stories, etc. Also outdoor on the river. Lounge area, picnic tables, "pallet" benches, barrel tables, etc. Semi open kitchen, see picture. Good people watching space. You can walk to the other breweries if you want to try more. Plenty of clean bathrooms on both floors. Also thanks for the outside/separate sinks in the upstairs restrooms. Dog friendly. Monthly events. DJ's on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Service - Menus and prices clear and plentiful. Hit and miss, but that's okay because I am drinking good beer and fairly easy going. Cool inclusive culture, see picture. Reservations available for groups of 4 or more. Price - 24 pounds + tip. Owner Comment - FYI, your website link on Yelp does not work for me...? But I can find it via Google.

I settled on the Kashmiri dal and whilst I was skeptical the bartender assured me it was delicious. And she was spot on although deeming it pizza is a misnomer: it's more of a crispy flatbread. Anyway the flavours were delicious!!! I was really skeptical of how the dal, banana slices and chili flakes would all go together but it was spicy, fragrant and tough to not eat all in one go (got it for takeaway). Really cool space on the canal as well with lots of seating indoors and a bit more limited outdoors. Almost right across from the overground. Plus dog-friendly!!

    Gotto Trattoria is a very new Italian restaurant opened by the same people who run Mele e Pere in…read moreSoho. It's in a beautiful location of Here East, in the new development along the Canal side near Hackney Wick where several other new restaurants have opened up too. The restaurant seems like a perfect place to dine in the Summer with it's al fresco dining, open front and the beautiful view of the Canalside. Inside was very warm and cosy with its low ceiling of exposed pipes and open kitchen allowing you to see the food being prepared Broad beans Complimentary fried broad beans to start us off. Simple seasoning but very moreish being crunchy and light. Sea bream carpaccio, fennel and chilli Quite a disappointing start. I couldn't taste any of the promised flavours here. It was quite lacklustre. I'm guessing the fennel came as a purée, smudged a long the bottom of the plate that barely attached to the sea bream. The chilli were too mild and didn't work well without a base to contain it in to allow it to release its flavours. Capers were too sharp for the delicate flavours of the carpaccio. At least the carpaccio was fresh so I did appreciate it's beautiful textures and silkiness. Burrata from Locorotondo This was delicious.The burrata was incredibly creamy, gentle in its milky flavours and light and elastic in texture. It was almost sweet in taste too. Simple seasoning of olive oil and black pepper just to add some flavour Pork and smoked pancetta bombette, cacio cheese sauce A must order! A lovely succulent piece of pork topped with a rich cacio cheese slice before rolled around pancetta and then grilled. The flavours were incredibly, rich in flavour with umami from the melted cheese. The texture was very satisfying, bouncy with each bite releasing its beautiful juices. A dip of of cacio cheese sauce just to give it an extra boost of cheesiness and creaminess Agnolotti with nettles, cimbro cheese, sage and rosemary I was almost shocked at how this dish came out. With Italy being the home to pasta I did not expect the pasta to be so hard and brittle. It was almost like they made these parcels and just left them out to dry so all the moisture evaporated from the dough. So instead of being soft and al dente, they were rough on the tongue. The filling was nice and creamy, with gentle earthy flavours from the nettle. However the buttery cheese sauce which was there to aid it with moisture was way too salty, overpowering all the flavours and herbs. Better to have without and eat it dry Rump of lamb, globe artichokes and seirass piemontese Nothing was wrong with this dish. The lamb was tender and sweet, served pink and juicy. Artichoke was creamy and buttery, carrots sweet and the seirass piemontese is referring to gentle milky grainy cow's milk cheese that resembled much like ricotta. However the dish lacked creativity. If I wanted a good lamb steak I would go to a steakhouse and not a speciality Italian restaurant. It lacked complexity and depth. Presentation didn't exactly made me mouth water, vegetables turned brown making it all seem quite dull Chips These were nicely done and came generously but a little creativity wouldn't hurt even if they just seasoned it with some salt and Italian herbs . Still I managed to demolish them with a bit of ketchup and mayo on the side as they were still pretty good quality. Tart of the day with custard pine nut pie This was okay and I very much enjoyed the thick consistency of the custard that was not overly sweet. However these qualities could not be enjoyed to its fullest due to the dry flakey crust that wrapped the whole tart creating a far greater ratio than the filling. It masked a lot of the custard flavour and made it dry. Pine nuts however were a nice addition added a subtle nuttiness and crunch to the dish Goat milk ice cream, blackberries, 25 years old balsamic vinegar This was probably the highlight of the whole meal. It was wonderfully creamy and smooth, rich in its milkiness without that sickly aftertaste. It was much thicker in consistency compared to ice cream, almost like gelato. Paired with lovely zesty blackberries and a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar just to balance out the sweetness and creaminess. The perfect ending to our meal I expected a lot more from Gotto but at the very most it was just an average Italian restaurant. Their only advantage is that they source high quality ingredients so even if nothing much is done to them (which is what it is like here), it is still very nice. Their starters definitely outdid their mains. Still some dishes were poorly executed and some over seasoned. The rest were not all that memorable leaving me not many reasons to return other than for their goat's milk ice cream.
