Bella Vita Hackney is an Italian restaurant at 53–57 Broadway Market, where classic recipes are served alongside contemporary interpretations. The restaurant sits in the heart of the market and offers an informal setting for lunch, dinner and a relaxed meal with family or friends.
The kitchen draws particular inspiration from Sardinia and works with ingredients sourced through Italian suppliers. Antipasti lead into homemade pasta dishes, with sauces and fillings shaped by regional traditions while still leaving room for seasonal produce and the chef’s own ideas.
Pizza, seafood and meat dishes broaden the selection beyond pasta. Fresh fish with mussels, cherry tomatoes, peppers and olives brings together Mediterranean flavours, while traditional carbonara relies on egg yolk, cheese, black pepper and guanciale for its creamy texture.
Brunch and lunch choices include egg dishes, panini and salads, making Bella Vita useful at different times of day. Italian coffee, cocktails and desserts such as tiramisu complete the menu, with vegan choices offering further flexibility for mixed groups.
Address: 53–57 Broadway Market, Hackney, London E8 4PH, United Kingdom
