The arancini and pasta were absolutely delicious. I ordered casarecce alla calabrese and it was the best pasta I’ve had in the UK. The price is pretty reasonable too. I would definitely come back!

Food was delicious and the restaurant is very charming. However seemed to us to be a bit overcrowded and the staff struggle to keep up with the tables downstairs. However food is great and would recommend.

Been a few times here and it's always a pleasure. Excellent pasta & services. One of the top pasta places in London for sure.

Great food, it's better to order a lot of plates and share rather than 'eat your own'. You can really taste the way that they make their pastas are different to what you usually get in other places.

I always wanted to try Lina Stores, we passed by Soho in a very crowded Saturday and we thought to stop there without reservation. We were lucky enough to get two seats in a very comfortable and familiar place. As Italian in London, I hardly find something very good to raccomand. The staff was cordial and gentle. A big up to the simplicity of the interiors, a truly jump in the past with style, without being pretentious but still very cool and authentic.

Food is amazing. Service was really good! Definitely a place to go at least once a month! Worth every penny.

Really nice small-ish plates. Truffle linguine was great - not too 'heavy' on truffle. Service was also great. Artichoke appetizer was 👌.
Tip - try to reserve ahead of time. They had to turn away walk-ins due to space. They also ran out if of prosciutto appetizer by 7 pm.

Great value! The quantities are perfect for sharing between a couple of people. The few we tried tasted amazing. Not super easy to wander in and get a table so try to book if you can.

I had my second visit to Lina Stores Greek St today and it didn’t disappoint. There are restaurants in London that are for people with more money than class but it’s certainly not the case here. It’s an authentic Italian restaurant that oozes charm and flavour. The food and wine are exceptional and the staff are all so friendly and helpful, particularly Stani. My absolute favourite in Soho. Thank you.

The store and the restaurant are both lovely additions to the neighborhood. The shop as an excellent supply of high-quality Italian products; if we lived in London full-time, we'd definitely shop there. The restaurant is quite good, but the staff felt just a hair pretentious to us. That said, the food is very tasty, if not a bit small in terms of portions.

Lina Stores are great for ravioli (made fresh daily.) We tried the spinach and the artichoke ravioli. Very tasty. The store has wide selection of olive oils and cheeses from northern and southern Italy. You find other Italian ingredients to use for authentic Italian cuisine.

We stopped here on a food tour on a Sunday so no ravioli. Instead we got this little box filled with treats. Buffalo mozzarella, stuffed pepper, aged cheddar, an olive, some sundried tomatoes, etc.

Getting my italian foodie fix here in Soho with some proper Italian produce and ingredients. Might be one of the only places central to my knowledge and I'm thankful for it. I always get my San Marzano tomatoes from here (for homemade pizza base).

This is a real Italian neighbourhood shop selling top of the line Italian food products and homemade delicacies. Its like having a mamma in Soho.

Just walking into this little corner shop in Soho and you feel like you are in a real family run Italian store. And you are. While small the floor to ceiling shelves are packed, filled with Italian food favourites straight from Italy. But what makes this place extra special are the homemade pastas, ravioli and sauces, alongside an extensive array of deli selections, breads, cheeses, and meats. They even make coffee at the end of the counter! What is

Every time I need some Italian speciality that can only be found in Italy, I go to Lina Store. They have EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a perfect Italian meal. From home-made filled pasta to focaccias, fresh meat, cured meat, cheese, a variety of off-the-shelf Italian products that I used to buy back in Italy but can't find in stores now (such as porcini flavoured cooking cream, pear juice, etc.).

They also stock regional products that you wouldn't normally find all in once place, such as 'nduja (a spicy and creamy sausages from Calabria) or Polenta (cornmeal dish from Northern

If you love Italian meats, cheeses and pastas, Lina was made for you :)

Context: I stumbled upon Lina after a less than thrilling experience searching for fresh meats in the Whole Foods about a 10 minute walk away. I was cooking in the evening and running out of time to find nice meats and cheeses.

The meats are AMAZING. The cheese is great too - there is a good selection of Italian cheeses.

All of Lina's meats are sourced from Italy, the staff will tell you about each one of them if you ask. Unfortunately, I was the customer curious enough to ask, and they were kind enough to share all

Great little gem, if you look for italian deli and speciality food you will find it here. The place is quite small but offers a good range. It's great as it is conveniently located in SOHO.

This deli continues to soar and soar in my estimation. It's an essential stop on my visits to Soho

From my myriad visits, I can highly recommend the wonderful large green olives, which are mild, buttery and nutty in flavour.

They carry high class dried pasta favoured by Italians as they can cook it to al dente consistency - the best pasta has a rough finish in order to better hold the sauce. They also have a great selection of fresh filled ravioli, which are yummy.

Fresh bottarga to grate onto pasta? Yes please. Fresh summer truffle? Yup, alongside truffle oil and other truffle products

A nice deli with a real Mediterranean feeling, from the outside (reminding you to a corner shop in a small town in Spain) to the inside deco and atmosphere, listening to Italian being spoken from the moment you enter.


In terms of its produce, it really has most things you may look for, but it also has other things that you can easily find in any supermarket, like De Cecco pasta. I would prefer for there to be only real deli finds, truly authentic and more representative of its country of origin.


I find it very overpriced. I could find some products at the same price in Fortnum & Mason

I came here looking for italian candies so while this store had some biscuits, no candies, I'll give it props for what I did see.

Neatly organized and fair collection of italian pantry items. Sauces, Pastas, oils, etc.

The real star at this store is the deli section. So onward I go and I'll be back the next time I need real balsamic.

It's back!


Beautiful meats and cheese and absolutely the best place for all your dried Italian basics. The recent refurb took a little time to get used to and, although some of the vintage charm mentioned above has been lost, the shop is now more open and less challenging for foodie claustrophobics (Lord knows Camisa is out of the question for those who can't cope with a squeeze) and owners alike.


The next generation of owners also seem to be doing the lion's share of the shop running now and they are as delightful as their predecessors- knowledgeable, charming and keen to

I stumbled by this store taking a "short cut" via directions from my GPS. What a find!

Franco is lovely and I left with a dozen boxes of porcini mushroom stock cubes ... fabulous!

I have been searching for orzo pasta for months, literally scouring every grocery store and deli I pass by, when a friend told me about Lina's. And like a Christmas Miracle, Lina's had not one but TWO varieties on hand. Fortunately for me, the very kind proprietor offered her advice on which one is probably better (the cheaper one).

Having found my orzo, I was free to look at all the other wonderful things Lina's has to offer - it literally stocks anything and everything Italian, from a smorgasbord of a deli counter to every imaginable kind of pasta.

Five stars for variety

A family run establishment that makes you feel transported to Italy. Prices are comparable to buying the goods from the specialist food aisles in the supermarket but far more enjoyable. They're so chatty and make you feel like a member of the family.

The fresh Pumpkin Ravioli, Crayfish Ravioli and Canoli are all brilliant. You can buy every type of essential Italian ingredient, my current favorite being the Farro. Inspired by dinners at the nearby Bocca Di Lupo. The sandwiches which are made fresh to order are brilliant, the tastiest Mozzarella, Tomato and Pesto Baguette, is better than anything

My favorite Italian deli in London. Freshly made ravioli and tortellini, wide range of Italian meats, antipasti, pasta, olive oils, vinegars, dried porcini, beans and grains, and THE best parmiggiano reggiano! Ask for Franco. He introduced me to my favorite olive oil and is always available for a friendly chat with lots of good information on all things Italian thrown in.

According to my sources this shop has been around for over thirty years and apparently it hasn't changed one bit. As soon as you enter you can understand why it has been around for so long. Now, it is longevity that makes the place so unique, it keeps the out dated tiles, but if it was refurbished its soul would perish.
They have the best Italian meats and cheeses, an excellent selection of all your dried Italian basics and value for money with the olives, at 90p per 100g. It i always busy, with Italians and non Italians, they are very funny and very quick when being served. A definite
