Senza Fondo, a new Italian-American restaurant promising the return of big plates and big energy, is opening in Shoreditch on the 24th of February. Spearheaded by first-time owner Joe Worthington, the Rufus Street restaurant will honour the Italian meaning of its name ‘without end’, serving up all-you-can-eat lasagna and endless good times. Saying goodbye to the small plate concept, the premium lasagneria is committed to being a celebration of great food, great drinks, and great people, with pop-up Chef Michael Bagnall at the helm of the kitchen.

Italian-American lasagneria Senza Fondo | Mortadella, pizzette, fettuccine Alfredo and more
Lasagneria Senza Fondo is serious about food and will transport guests to Italy via New York, with a menu dedicated to elevating comfort food to new heights and fresh pasta. The all-you-can-eat lasagna, for £20, is the menu’s star attraction, accompanied by stacks of mortadella with pistachio to be shared family-style; Italian-American favourite fettuccine alfredo; a lasagna-style pizzette; as well as an array of specials from aubergine parmigiana to grilled wing rib on the bone with beef jus and apple mostarda. There will be daily off-menu dishes such as burnt lasagna ends available on request. To finish off, indulge in Tiramisu, wood fired apple pie and olive oil gelato.
Bottomless lasagna and soon a ‘Lasangwich™’ for Lunch
On February 24th the Lasagneria Senza Fondo opens for dinner, soon to follow is Senza Fondo’s lunchtime hatch, bringing a daily limited run of lunchtime ‘Lasangwich™’ to Shoreditch.
Originally from Burnley, Joe Worthington (Chief Béchamel Officer) brings his northern charm, larger-than-life personality and years of hospitality experience at some of the world’s most successful independent restaurant groups to his debut venture. Joe says: “It’s always been my dream to open my own restaurant. London’s restaurant scene is in a great place, but I’ve seen a gap for bigger plates and bigger energy. I believe there is truly nothing better than having dinner with friends, family or anyone in between, and my restaurant will be all about the people.”
The restaurant will serve as a community hub that brings together high energy and an electric atmosphere, combined with hearty plates, Italian beers and expertly crafted cocktails. Found at the back of the restaurant, the bar, adorned with football memorabilia, pays homage to Italian footballer Kevin Lasagna and will be named The Kevin Lasagna Bar. Going back to boozy basics; the house Negroni will be £5 when you order before food, accompanied by options including a martini, Manhattan, old-fashioned, margarita and a clover club, as well as favourite Italian spritzes and some delicious non-alcoholic alternatives. The bar concept reflects Joe’s personal dining philosophy. Joe says: “I always like to arrive at a restaurant early to head to the bar – soaking in the atmosphere, getting a drink and just witnessing the magic of dining out. It gets me all giddy for what’s to come!”

Joe’s journey in hospitality spans continents, having worked on luxury cruise ships and in restaurants across Spain, Canada, and Australia, including for Sydney’s Applejack Hospitality.

This wealth of experience is infused into every detail of Senza Fondo, from the menu to the warm, inviting atmosphere. Joe finishes: “When great people come together, magic happens—and that’s what Senza Fondo is all about. That, and serving the best lasagna in London.”
