Frizzante - (Near Tower Hamlets, South East)

3 /5 Kat: Quite an underwhelming meal — the pumpkin soup lacked flavour and it was the spice overshadowed the natural subtle, sweet taste of the pumpkin itself. The Bolognese was so sweet that it was weird. The service and atmosphere was okay, but the meal wasn’t great .

4 /5 Maria Vasileva - Grinfeld: The food is decent and it’s next to the Hackney City Farm. They are kids and pets friendly too.

2 /5 Florencia Lucila: One of the worst meals I had in a very long time at a Hackney price. A carrot chicken soup that was extremely oily flavor less topped with some 1 week old (the minimun) croutons that almost broke my tooth (literally). Impossible to chew. Asked for a long black they brought me a white americano. Brunch finishes at 1 for some reason even though they are serving bacon and eggs and then you are forced to a lunch restaurant type menu. Such a cool location in such a special spot i would rip the whole frizzante apart and make a new cafe there and serve some decent food and coffees. Prices not cheap either. Underwhelming. Felt I had to share. Sorry x

5 /5 Charlene Anne: My son and I visited the farm and then stopped over for lunch after an afternoon in the rain.One couldnt imagine this obscure spot in the heart of London. For lunch we had pumpkin soup and for pudding, caramalised apple cake. The business is family run and the staff are friendly, attentive and helped with a phone charger when my battery was running out. It was busy but not so much as to put you off. The restaurant has plenty of character - walls are adorned with used pans as decor, and evocative art. The music complemented the calm atmosphere. We also bought the bread, which one of the members of the staff told us was a family recipe which was passed down for generations.

5 /5 A PA: Lovely place next to the Hackney City Farm. Very friendly staff and delicious italian food. I have really enjoyed mushroom and truffle risotto.
