Venerdi, a Very Welcome New Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant on Chatsworth Road, E5
Not quite two months old, there’s nothing particularly fancy or especially novel about Venerdi (well, aside from the half of a Fiat 500 mortared into the restaurant’s interior back wall) – just a superb selection of pizzas, pastas and classic Italian comfort food dishes.
