You’ve heard of bottomless brunch, now prepare yourself for bottomless… pasta?
A new Italian-American style restaurant is pitching the absolutely wild concept of all-you-can-eat lasagna, should you choose to accept the challenge. Senza Fondo is opening February 20 on Rufus Street in Shoreditch, and will offer unlimited slices of the good stuff for £20 a head. You should be in good hands though. Talented head chef Michael Bagnall – who has previously popped-up at the likes of Victoria Park wine bar Bruno, Brixton’s Naughty Piglets and Margate’s Sargasso – will be in charge of the kitchen.
There will be two kinds of lasagna on offer: slow cooked beef shin for the meat-eaters and a vegetarian artichoke option. Starters include mortadella with pistachio, deep fried mozzarella sticks, burrata with truffle and honey butter, and sage polenta rosti.
If you don’t fancy lasagna (then why are you here?), there’ll be fettuccine alfredo, and casarecce with mushroom ragu, as well as sharing specials of vegan aubergine parmigiana, whole roasted plaice with mussels, chilli, capers and parsley, and grilled wing rib on the bone with beef jus and apple mostarda. Puddings include tiramisu, wood fired apple pie, and olive oil gelato.
The 1,700 sqft restaurant will also have live music and a bar named after Italian footballer, Kevin Lasagna, that will serve £5 negronis. There are also plans for a lunchtime hatch, which will serve a ‘lasangwich’. Come have a go, if you think you’re carb enough.
Senza Fondo, 1 Rufus St, N1 6PE.
