Italian in Shoreditch
It's always hard taking on a restaurant site that has already seen off another restaurant serving food from the same part of the world. But whether it's Lena's fault that it picked a duff location or, more simply, a bad time to open, it's hard to ignore that reviewers have found it lacklustre (or lacking in hope altogether).
