Absolutely amazing! Watch this place - will be one of the most popular in East London given time! We went here for our boys birthday for a Sunday lunch - and they have done an amazing job fitting it out. While opening later than they hoped - was worth the wait! Staff were so friendly and welcoming, the fit out is modern but cosy, and food top class. An amazing chef! Aracini balls were brilliant, home made sour dough a great starter, and pizza / pasta better than any place I’ve been. A good selection of wines (Rioja perfect with the food). Finished off with coconut tiramisu and cannoli pudding. My kids described it as too good to be true. Anyone reading this -> pop along. You won’t regret it and great to support a local bar. Thanks very much and you’ll see us again soon

Called in with my brother Sunday night. We had tried my regular the Morpeth but they had run out of dough...every table was also full of glasses and rubbish. Gone downhill. Then I remembered Carobar two mins from my house. We got a table straight away (only people in but a couple arrived later. It's Sunday night so understandable). We both had pizza and wine, amazing square pizzas. I am dropping one star for my Margharita as they used dried herbs. Some fresh basil would have made it perfect. But lovely atmosphere and a great local place

Chilled night with mind blowing food! The atmosphere was absolutely on point, relax and welcoming. Every bite was a hit, bursting with flavour - caponata highly recommended, also arancini and croquettes are a must-try. A true gem in Hackney Wick!

I went with my girlfriend last week and we had a wonderful experience. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is perfect for couples and family. They work with high quality ingredients, organic and local products, the wine is amazing and it’s in front of Victoria Park. Highly recommended.

We tried this new place in Hackney Wick and it was wonderful! Just 5 min from Hackney Wick station. Cozy vibes, a mix between an old pub and modern restaurant, cute garden and delicious food! We had a pizza margherita, mushroom arancini, oysters, coconut tiramisú which was delicious and generous portion too! and cocktails all made by super friendly chefs and bar staff. This will definitely be my favourite spot in Hackney Wick! Well done guys
