Price: Expensive•Spanish•4.7(503)Llerena takes its name from a little village in Extremadura, southwest Spain, where four generations of our family has raised Iberian pigs since 1939, producing authentic "Bellota" jamón ibérico, chorizo and other pork delicacies. Our family created a business around the farm called Jamón y Salud to sell our gourmet products and has now brought this exquisite taste of Spain to Islington with the Llerena Ibérico Tapas Bar. Not only can you sample ibérico pork grilled meats and finest jamón, but also creamy Torta del Casar cheese and other traditional Extremadura's delights as well as the best wine from our region.

- AAmberLondon •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoA Dining Experience Worthy of Michelin Standards. An outstanding dining experience easily one of the best Neapolitan pizzas I’ve had in London. We ordered the Mortadella and Rospesto, both absolutely exceptional. The Mortadella came with a delicate pistachio cream and lemon zest that lifted every bite, while the Rospesto’s smoky beef and pesto fusion was rich, balanced and truly gourmet. These aren’t your typical pizzeria offerings they’re crafted with precision and imagination. The menu also includes excellent vegan and vegetarian options, and the combination of Aegean and southern Italian influences gives the whole place a unique Mediterranean charm. Service was impeccable the staff were knowledgeable, passionate, and even guided us on which antipasti would pair best with our pizzas. Felt like we were travelling across the Mediterranean in one meal. We’ll definitely be back soon!More infoResto LondonPrice: Moderate• Italian• Highbury•5
