Fatto a Mano, renowned for its authentic Neapolitan pizzas, has made an exciting debut in East London with the launch of its Bethnal Green location on Paradise Row. This new pizzeria is the brand’s first neighborhood venture in London, following its popular locations in Covent Garden and King’s Cross, as well as its roots in Brighton and Hove. The name "Fatto a Mano," meaning "made by hand," encapsulates the restaurant's commitment to traditional methods, high-quality ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Located under Bethnal Green’s iconic converted railway arches, the 65-cover restaurant exudes warmth and charm, with industrial-inspired interiors that retain the character of the arches. The space features two levels, including a mezzanine overlooking the lively open kitchen, creating a dynamic and engaging dining experience. A sunny outdoor terrace, accommodating an additional 40 guests, provides a perfect setting for alfresco dining during warmer weather.
The menu at Fatto a Mano Bethnal Green celebrates the essence of Neapolitan cuisine, offering both timeless classics and inventive creations. Signature pizzas include the Margherita Buffalo, Salsiccia e Friarielli, and Napoletana, crafted with premium British and Italian ingredients, such as mozzarella from Lattai Ponticorvo, a family-run dairy in Campania. The menu also features contemporary innovations like the Lasagna Pizza, with beef ragu, béchamel, and smoked provola, and a vegan Black Truffle, Spinach, and Artichoke Pizza. Regularly rotating specials, like the limited-edition Carolina’s Meatballs pizza, add an exciting seasonal touch to the offerings.
Beyond pizza, the restaurant serves an enticing range of snacks and sides, including Porcini Mushroom Arancini, ’Nduja Lasagne Fritta Bites, and a Caesar Salad with Cetara anchovies. To complement the food, the drinks menu includes an exclusive selection of natural wines, craft beers like the Fatto x UnBarred Brewery Amalfi Lemon and Basil Pale Ale, and refreshing aperitivi.
Since its founding in Brighton in 2015, Fatto a Mano has been synonymous with exceptional hospitality, artisanal craftsmanship, and a passion for bringing people together over great food. The Bethnal Green opening continues this tradition, offering East Londoners a taste of authentic Neapolitan pizza in a vibrant and community-oriented setting.
