Lena

This month Shoreditch welcomes a new Italian bar and restaurant to its fold. Lena serves up traditional Italian food – appropriate for a restaurant named after its owner's mother! On head chef Walter Benenati's menu you'll find southern Italian favourites like pasta con n'duja alongside dishes such as rack of wild boar, red berry salsa and roasted pumpkin; and dark chocolate truffle torte with marsala wine and caramelised orange. There's also a bar on the lower ground floor where you can enjoy Italian-inspired cocktails and wine to the sound of live music from a pianist and jazz band
When: Open now
Where: 66 Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch EC2A 3JT
