Senza Fondo: Where Lasagna Knows No Limits
Nestled in the vibrant streets of Shoreditch, Senza Fondo (meaning 'bottomless' in Italian) delivers exactly what its name promises – an unlimited lasagna experience that has quickly become one of East London's most talked-about dining destinations.
The Bottomless Concept
At the heart of Senza Fondo's appeal is its signature offering: £20 all-you-can-eat lasagna, available in two varieties. The slow-cooked beef shin version delivers rich, tender layers of meat and pasta, while the artichoke alternative provides a robust vegetarian option that doesn't compromise on flavor or satisfaction. Each hefty portion comes bathed in creamy béchamel and crowned with a generous cloud of freshly grated parmesan.
Beyond Lasagna
While unlimited pasta is the star attraction, the menu extends to other Italian-American comfort classics. Starters include deep-fried mozzarella sticks, burrata with truffle and honey butter, and mortadella with pistachio. For those somehow still hungry after multiple servings of lasagna, the tiramisu receives consistent praise as the perfect sweet conclusion.
Atmosphere and Experience
The restaurant embraces a lively, convivial atmosphere reminiscent of traditional Italian trattorias and New York's Little Italy establishments. The space features warm, earthy tones with vintage touches that create a setting both nostalgic and contemporary. At the back, you'll find the cheekily named 'Kevin Lasagna Bar' (a nod to the Italian footballer), where £5 negronis flow freely before food is served.
The Team
Senza Fondo is the passion project of founder Joe Worthington (self-described 'Chief Béchamel Officer'), whose hospitality experience includes stints with Hawksmoor and Drake & Morgan. His vision for creating a restaurant centered around the joy of shared meals and lively conversation is evident in every aspect of the Senza Fondo experience.
Whether you're gathering with friends for a long-overdue catch-up or simply craving comfort food at its finest, Senza Fondo offers a dining experience that, true to its name, you'll never want to end.
