N Thre food was.good.and service.was good..Never disappoints.Will go back soon.Try. the Calzone !!!

Excellent meals and service in a pleasant atmosphere and environment, can thoroughly recommend this establishment. Thank you very much for a very delightful gastronomic experience

Amazing place and the team are excellent! The new Italian waiter only a few weeks in London was great! Will definitely return and recommend to all my friends to book!

Best authentic Italian restaurant & bar in town. Great ambience & the perfect place for group gatherings. I would highly recommend Venerdi restaurant. Thank you

Brilliant experience! Pasta was delicious and clams really fresh. Really nice service and lovely atmosphere. I'll be definitely coming soon again to try their pizzas and fresh fish.

Service was mostly poor food average. We were seated 30 mins after our reservation, waitress slammed down bill, felt rushed throughout the night. One waiter was lovely though.

Fancy Italian restaurant, great service and very good kitchen. Try one of the pizzas or the homemade pasta. Of cause they have all the evergreens, but also surprising new dishes. My full recomendation.

Great local Italian restaurant in Chatsworth Road. Amazing pizza and homemade pasta, modestly priced. Great choice of wines too! Have visited many times and the food is consistently good. The staff are very friendly and service is good. Highly recommended

Never disappoints. Service a bit slow this time to order drinks but no complaints about waiting time and quality of the food. Will be back.

Nice meal service a bit chaotic but otherwise very enjoyable

There were 5 of us. Two of us really enjoyed the food, one was ambivalent and 2 were a bit disappointed. It was a Monday night and the service was a bit slow. Also all the windows were open and the smoke from the outside smokers was very strong in the restaurant. It's local to us though so we will go there again!

Excellent place to have a good meal and have fun, lovely food and drinks, and the ambiance is amazing, I have been to this restaurant over the years.

The food was excellent. We were early but were immediately shown to our table. The restaurant was really busy and quite noisy and the staff worked very hard but there a couple of mistakes with our drinks order and sometime the waiters could be a bit brusque because they were so busy. But, overall, it still gets a 5 rating because the good far outweighed the couple of hiccups. We will definately go back.

Excellent service and fabulous food. You are one of our favourites and will return again and again and again. The staff are polite and very helpful.

Had a great meal at Venerdi, second time we have been and will certainly go again. Food very nice and our waiter was great 👍

Good food, excellent service and a handy location from where I work and to the station. The environment is relaxed and you can see the food being cooked which adds to the atmoshphere

Always good speedy service, waiting staff are friendly and attentive. The food is consistently good with delicious starters, lovely pasta and really tasty Pizzas. A Family favourite

Both pasta.and pizza dishes were superb and did not disappoint

Excellent food, service and ambiance. I will be back very soon! Very clean and friendly staff, there was nothing that needed improving. Feels like you are in Italy!

Food was delicious but service was average. I called ahead to enquire if the restaurant could accommodate a guest of mine with gluten and dairy allergies and I was informed they could. However, when we placed our order, the first waitress said they could only serve a salad. I explained we had called ahead and told differently so we were passed to a second waiter. He had a small amount of knowledge of the menu and had to go back and forth with the chef. He didn’t seem too confident with the kitchen, by saying, ‘legally, I have to so we can’t guarantee it will be completely gluten free’ which doesn’t fill anyone with allergies with confidence. There was no word of reassurance that the kitchen will try their best to not cross contaminate the food. We’ve eaten at plenty of Italians who are understanding of other people’s food requirements and can accommodate with confidence. We felt like an inconvenience to the staff and didn’t feel welcome. As I said, the food was delicious but the staffs attitide was poor and didn’t make it an enjoyable experience. I would not be returning.

Such brilliant service and usual, buzzing atmosphere and tasty, tasty food. It was my mum’s birthday and she was treaded amazingly. We are regulars here and there’s many reasons we go so often!

Venerdi is a lovely restaurant with very stylish decor and the food was delicious, homemade pasta is great and lots of choice. Only gripe would be everything came a bit too fast.

Really lovely food, hearty portions with really good service . Felt very welcoming, waiting staff volunteered my name when I advised had booked. We were late! Road works, however they fitted us in with no fuss.

Food very good. Aubergine pasta excellent plus very good chicken in breadcrumbs. Service excellent total bill very reasonable. Very pleased with the overall dining experience.

The food was really awful. The egg avocado dish with chilli was a poached egg on (bad bread) toast with unseasoned avocado sliced on the side with some random jalapeños also on the side. We thought maybe they just can’t do brunch but my friend didn’t enjoy his pizza either. The staff tried but it was just a terrible meal.

The pasta dishes were very small, so several of my party were left hungry. We were told one of the desserts would take 15mins to prepare but it was more like half an hour. The atmosphere is nice however and they accommodated a bigger group than I had booked for.

Amazing food and service - food was very quick , fresh and cooked to perfection - drinks were offered as soon as glass was empty and the staff were very friendly and efficient

We've been going to venerdi since it opened and love it. Great service, atmosphere and pizzas. Overpriced first courses though, especially the filled zucchini which was tiny and disappointing.

Starters good, wine very nice, main courses a bit dull. Quite expensive. Decor nice, music good. Nice to have another Italian restuarant in Hack ney.

Always great: the food’s really good: they serve calzone as big as your head, fresh homemade pasta, rosemary focaccia to start... Also: the service is super friendly and attentive. Love it here, innit

Good food, good service and nice atmosphere, I would definitely recommend it! xxx xxxx xxx xx xx xx xx x xx . x s x

This restaurant had a great relaxed vibe, with dark inviting decor inside. Friendly service. Good Italian food, not fancy, but reliable for a good value night out. Recommended.

Great pizzas with interesting toppings. The venue itself was really comfy and stylish and the staff were so good. They went the extra mile for us and were patient as we were hanging about late. I would 100% go back

Although the food was to a good standard, the level of service and attitude of certain members of the staff was poor. We would not return

Pleasant atmospheric Italian restaurant. They seemed to have over booked which was not our problem but after a bit they stopped trying to make us worry about it.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Nice ambiance and reasonable prices. Drinks could come out a little quicker but very enjoyable evening for friends and family

Poor service and unaccomodating for vegan dietary requirements. Also we’re not told about the set menu on NYE despite asking many times to check and bring reassured the menu would be the full usual one.

Great local restaurant with great food and service. Recommend this Italian restaurant, only wish they would start making gluten free pizza or pasta dishes like many of the competing pizza places in the area.

Always great atmosphere, great service and great food. My colleagues and I always return every 1-2 months and it is a great place to have a catch up.

I have been there a couple of times and always really enjoyed it. The waiter with the pony tail is especially helpful and he does a great job!

Amazing homemade pasta! Great wine list, lovely setting and attentive staff, all in all a great meal and evening. We would definitely return back here.

We had a lovely meal, the food was great and the service really friendly. The kids loved it too - we will definitely go back

A great local Italian restaurant, wide selection of pasta, pizza and mains. Alongside daily specials. Been lots of times, the food keeps bringing us back. Service was a bit shaky after refit, but its improved and staff are so very friendly.

My first time at this place and I really enjoyed, the food, drinks and the atmosphere are lovely. Definitely, I will be back soon with my wife. Thanks guys

Friendly service form our local Italian. Great Nduja pizza - spicy sausage paste - totally lush. Delicious pints of Peroni. What more could you ask for?

I like the look of Venerdi and it's local to me but ... we waited 25 mins for our (cold) starters and even then they managed to forget 2 out of the 3 starters. And we also waited 50 minutes for our mains - with no offer of even a comp drink while we were waiting. The food itself was 'ok' but no more. So, overall not a great experience, especially given it wasnt busy - 5 people serving should be able to handle 50-60 covers without "getting confused by the children's menu".

The food was of a high standard, but was spoilt by really bad service, had to pretty much chase every stage of the meal. Shame as the staff seemed nice.

Used to be the go-to place for an awesome pizza. Not they seem to have changed kitchen staff and the pizza was just terrible. very sad it's changed that much

The decor's really smart but it keeps the relaxed cool feel. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food was delicious with a huge range of options so there's something fro everyone. The drinks were really good - the Peroni Negroni & the Bloody Orange Negroni were so good! The main courses were a little expensive but they have lots of fish and expensive ingredients in and are the standard prices for the area now :( The pizza and pasta options were more reasonable.
