Lina Stores Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Lunch with clients here yesterday. Delicious food, and brilliant waitress. The quality is fantastic and the pricing is really reasonable. It was pretty busy when we were there, so it can get a little noisy, but the atmosphere adds to the experience :) Try the Gnudi Fritti!

Una de las órdenes era “casarecce alla calabrese” - (spegetti con langostino) que estaba rancio. Esto fue enviado inmediatamente de vuelta con una oferta alternativa. El ambiente era bueno. El servicio era una mierda. La mesa que nos dieron solo tenía tenedores sin cuchillos. La comida de reemplazo se trajo de vuelta sin tenedor. El restaurante fue recomendado, pero estuvo a la altura de sus expectativas.

Locale molto carino, servizio perfetto, cibo ottimo in una bella giornata di sole a Londra Buonissima la torta al cioccolato.

This is amazing! would highly recommend the prawn pasta it’s very fresh and amazing flavours.

A little piece of authentic Italy in the middle of Soho

Excellent!! The service from the Dominican staff is outstanding. We had the burrata ravioli and the truffle tagliatelle, DELICIOUS!! We will definitely be back.

We went on a Sunday, mortified to be running late after seeing Titanique (arrived at 9:15pm for our 9pm reservation) - but the team could not have been friendlier or nicer. We never once felt rushed even when we were literally the last table still there! The service was impeccable and the food, as always, was fantastic (if you've not had the tiramisu there what are you doing with your life?). Having such friendly service meant such a lot since we were treating family from out of town and they were so delighted with the quality of everything. Thank you so much to the team! We'll be back - of course!

Step into little Italy, lovely little bistro with excellent food

Rather small selection of mainly pasta dishes However the flavours were second to none. Well prepared in a kitchen by excellent chefs

Lina Stores on Greek Street offers delightful fresh pasta dishes in a vibrant setting. We began with gnudi and Nocellara olives; the gnudi was rich with ricotta, perhaps a touch too much, and the olives had an unexpected sweetness, possibly from a buttery finish. For mains, the pici nduja, pappardelle with lamb and sausage ragu, and both the Jerusalem artichoke and podomorini burrata ravioli were outstanding—flavorful and well-executed. Desserts of cannolo and tiramisu were equally satisfying. However, the downstairs dining area felt cramped and noisy, with tables placed closely together, which slightly detracted from the experience. Despite this, the quality of the food makes Lina Stores a worthwhile visit for pasta enthusiasts.

Food was freezing, not tasty. The staff were so nice though

Original Lina Stores restaurant Small, charming restaurant with very relaxed vibe and good quality pasta

You must go! Cannot recommend the staff and food enough. The quality is excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. The staff were incredibly informative, attentive and very entertaining. The chefs were all friendly and genuinely seemed passionate when creating and serving the food. Great job guys. A thoroughly enjoyed meal!

Cute small restaurant, with great food! First time coming to their restaurant and just like their stores the pasta did not disappoint. The portions run small but are reasonable with the prices. Definitely somewhere you want to get bread and starters. I really enjoyed eating here it’s a great quick stop.

Absolutely delicious food! The portions might look small at first glance, but they're chock-full of flavor and filling. Great experience from start to day finish!

Riccardo + Team 😇 amazing food and service.

A bit snug to say the least but nothing with food or service

Love the fresh pasta and generous shavings of parmagiano reggiano to make the tagliolini truffle really cheesy. Price is good for the quality of food.

This was the best pasta I've eaten in London, the atmosphere was very cosy and intimate and I loved how the chef, Barbara, was cooking everything right in front of us and giving us her personal recommendations. Dying to go back already!

The food here was really good especially the gnudi fritti, we had to order a second. The staff that served us were very friendly and attentive and the food was perfect after a day trip in London. I would 100% recommend the Gnudi Fritti and Truffle Pasta, amazing.

The pasta is amazing and the menu always keeps changing. Occasionally, the basement can feel a bit dark, but the service is impeccable.

We had a great impromptu dinner at the bar (we did not book, but we were very lucky). The menu is more limited but that can be a blessing. Bar eating is on the ground floor. We did not see the main dining space. We both had a lovely plate of pasta, good ingredients and tasteful. I've given 4* as it is just pasta and at the end of the day I make great pasta at home. Atmosphere was great and waitering was very good. We drank Negroni and house lemonade and the Tiramisu was great. A great stop in the heart of SOHO.

Nice spot and a great atmosphere especially in good weather. Very friendly staff and lovely food in healthy portions!

A pro Italy pastas restaurants in SOHO area,lunch time I order pastas pici Ialla Norcina,my seat front kitchen,Can watching chef’s cooking’s very well!2025/3/23

It is one of the best pasta and bread that I have ever tried in London. Congratulations!

Delicious Italian restaurant in Soho. We walked in without reservations and sat at the counter where we could see the open kitchen. Top notch service and every single dish we had was delicious - salad, burrata, Lamb ragu pappardelle and chocolate mousse. I wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again!

The food was delicious. Got the truffle pasta. The service was also perfect. Very nice vibe. 100% recommend.

Excellent food, very tasty, best people, love it, recommend it!!! ❤️

Very cute spot, great pasta and for a very reasonable price! Vegan truffle pasta was incredible. The only thing I’d say is that they did seem under staffed, service was quite slow, but the staff were very friendly.

I have been wanting to try Lina Stores for a while. It’s in a great location close to lots in SoHo. Warning Lina stores is small. When we first came to the restaurant we couldn’t get in the front door due to 1 other couple waiting to be seated. We had to wait in the window behind 3 lovely people trying to have a cocktail at the bar. The service we received was really great. The staff work really hard and are really attentive. The restaurant downstairs was teeny. They had managed to fit about 28/30 covers and a bar in one of the smallest restaurants I’ve been in, so the people next to us having a first date (sorry we were sat virtually on your table). We had a very generous sharing menu £35pp - 3 x starters, 3 x mains, 2 desserts (although after all that food they kindly exchanged my dessert for an espresso martini!) The food was excellent! The burrata, truffle pasta and tiramisu especially. All very fresh, simple but delicious. The tiramisu one of the best I’ve ever had. In summary, loved the restaurant for staff and food, but we really couldn’t hear or talk much due to so many people being in one space.

Gran lugar para una cena pre teatro. Deliciosa lingüina de cangrejo, personal amable y servicial. Nos sentamos abajo, pero usted puede sentarse arriba en el mostrador, esto sería interesante, pero todos los demás comensales tienen que apretar más allá de usted. ¡Sin duda volvería a ir!

Amazing pasta with truffles 👏, superb small plates, great place for a reunion with friends 🧡 Will revisit!

Had a great dinner at Lina Stores. The pastas are world class. If you can get in I highly recommend it.

Gorgeous food, fresh and authentic. Exactly what you would want from an Italian deli. And the sandwiches were to die for.

I was a walk-in, it was a Monday evening and they were almost full. The cosy atmosphere immediately showed its charm. The staff and the General Manager are lovely, and they know what they're doing—I recommend the fresh truffle pasta, the basic green salad (you wouldn't think) and the tiramisu. Thanks guys, you made my evening 🙏🏻

My credit card didn’t work properly, and I ended up keeping the store clerk waiting, but they were kind and patient with me. Thank you!

Had a beautiful dinner here the other evening, our waiter Riccardo was incredibly welcoming to us and very knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely be back!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service from Ashley, Nas and Celine. The entire team went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the burrata—so fresh, creamy, and perfectly paired with delicious accompaniments. Every dish was crafted with care, and the atmosphere was just perfect. A truly outstanding dining experience—highly recommend!

Delicious gluten free pasta with lamb ragu and a wonderfully light chocolate mousse. My friends and I had a lovely dinner and although the restaurant is small it has a welcoming and warm atmosphere.

A fantastic little place, perfect for a catch up or a Sunday lunch! The team is really welcoming and makes you feel right at home. We initially set downstairs, but found it too loud and asked to be moved up. Nothing was too much and we were accommodated instantly. The food was delicious and Menu had a great selection of not only the classics. I had a pappardelle con ragu and my friend had the burrata ravioli. Dessert: chocolate muss (to die for!) With a cocktail to start and a glass of wine - also reasonably priced. Great place for a lovely pasta!

Average Place, over priced pasta dishes very limited but that can be a positive as the restaurant specialises in pasta dishes, We enjoyed the bread and the dessert was very delicious enjoyed that more than the pasta. The pasta portion was quite small. And it could have been warmer too. Very small restaurant too. Maybe another branch could be better as this one felt super crammed downstairs and also the toilets smelt like mould and damp was a bit dingy and very narrow space wasn’t very comfortable either.

Seeing the high ratings me and my friends were curious to try out the place. I have reserved a table for Saturday which went very smoothly and they were very responsive and kind to book. The staff is quite polite, attentive and warm. The atmosphere is totally adorable, quaint little cosy bistro style restaurant. However, we went there for food and pastas were just OK. Definitely not bad but not at all reflecting the high ratings. Tiramisu in fact was quite bad for an italian restaurant. Imagine M&S has better tasting one than this. Overall nice but certainly overrated. Pici is the cheapest and most decent pasta and truffle one was the most expensive and the most disappoonting.

I went for dinner with my boyfriend here and we had a lovely evening. The service was incredible, the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed, and the food was great. We both had the ricotta gnudi to start and the lamb ragu as our main. Good prices and good portion sizes. And lots of gluten free options! All the starters are gluten free and most of the pasta dishes can be made with GF pasta too. The staff were also very knowledgeable about allergens and cross contamination.

Food was good! Simple but done well, love the atmosphere and the service! I will be back :)

¿Qué decir? Parece una estrella Michele pero solo una COPIA. sobre los precios con una pequeña porción asquerosa pasta mal cocida.

Tasty food for surprisingly low prices, £55 for the amount of food and wine we got is a steal ! We will be back for sure ! And the service was great as well

One of my favourite places in London 🔥 Come here once a week, love it!

Fresh food?? Spot on pasta??? This is the place...love it

Went here on Weds, the waiter from Sicily gave us loads of info about the food and how it was made. He was a gem and made our trip really fun as well as tasty. My wife said the ravioli was the best pasta she’s ever had. I loved the sausage ragu pappardelle. Real cool place. Eat at the counter if you can

Great recommendation and good prices for quality products, I recommend!

Subpar experience on many fronts. Party of 5 at 5 PM, expected low key ambiance. Seated in an insanely awkward corner table near the toilet where I was literally sitting on the pointed edge of the table because my family in the cushion seating was cramped. I tried to rotate around the table for more space and was asked by the waitress not to sit directly across from the cushions because I was now blocking my partner’s mother’s path and it was a fire concern. Added annoyance that the larger table next to us wasn’t utilized until the end of our meal - where a party of 3 got sat there, adding insult to our cramped injury. Antipasti was fine, nothing crazy. Did enjoy the artichoke. Pasta comes out - they didn’t have mine. They make it sound like they just forgot it upstairs, but as it came out 15 minutes later it was obvious that they forgot to put in the order. Papardelle came out borderline crunchy - which isn’t really the noodle texture I’m hoping for. It would have been nice if literally anyone admitted the mistake - or offered to bring out another glass of wine on the house, or comped the dish. Instead the waitress came by acting like we weren’t cramped and had food missing. Basement gets loud FAST. For 6 PM, I literally could not hear my partner across the table. Oh, and the toilet has a mold problem, as evidenced around the sinks. As I have a severe mold allergy, I went home with head cold symptoms on top of a generally bad meal experience. Maybe the other locations are better? They’d be better off closing this location.

Had the most wonderful evening at your restaurant. The service was entertaining and efficient in equal measure! Food was sublime, I could eat there on a weekly basis....no problem! Can't believe I've never been there before! Huge shout out to Riccardo, he's a star!

First time coming here really easy to book and so welcoming met by Chef Ricardo and the amazing Naz so knowledgeable and ability to recommend dished and friendly, professional service. So sweet to give me a free birthday dessert thank you Ricardo. The food was spectacular 😋 and freshly made cosy atmosphere beautiful decor a beautiful birthday lunch 😍 a must to try definitely coming back 4 persons bill was £100 value for money

Had a really nice lunch here with the family. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The pasta was very well made and the gluten free was some of the best my wife has tried. The artichoke starter was excellent.

Cenamos con un amigo. Me alegré de haber hecho una reserva ya que el lugar estaba lleno! Lo que me atrajo de este restaurante fue su encantador piso de arriba, con gran iluminación y asientos en el bar. Desafortunadamente, el sótano (que es donde están la mayoría de las mesas) es menos agradable en su decoración y ambiente - - estaba extremadamente lleno de gente, iluminado demasiado brillante, y muy fuerte. Las mesas son diminutas y muy abarrotadas. La comida era un menú italiano bastante estándar. Pedimos algunos aperitivos y pastas para compartir. Todo era sabroso y agradable, aunque nada era notable. Volvería pero no priorizaría si de nuevo en Londres.

I visited Lina Stores in Soho last night and the food was incredible! I ordered the Pappardelle con Ragù di Salsiccia di Agnello, and strongly recommend it! Besides, I got a Cannolo and was 10/10! ✨ Despite all the positive experience, I must say I felt the service was extremely slow. Not entirely sure if is the way they work.

The ambiance at Lina Stores Soho is charming and authentic, capturing the essence of Italian dining. The food is delightful. A great spot for anyone craving fresh and flavorful Italian cuisine in a cozy setting!

Little bit small plates and small amounts but so reasonable. Good tiramisu❤️

disappointing Dishes in small quantities that leave you hungry and leave a lot to be desired. Exorbitant and somewhat abusive prices. Also, they don't accept cash!!! Not to repeat.

Delicious pasta and very kind waiters. Excellent quality-price ratio.

The portions were small, but the most disappointing and absolutely outrageous thing was that they charged me 11 euros (9 pounds) for a "clara" — that is, a glass of lemonade and beer. They charged it as if it were two separate soft drinks and didn’t inform me of the exorbitant price. It’s outrageous. Furthermore, they don’t accept cash, only card payments.

We had dinner at this restaurant in London and were really satisfied, the dishes prepared with fresh ingredients, the authentic flavor reminiscent of the best Italian restaurants. The friendly and helpful staff contribute to making the evening pleasant. A place I recommend to anyone looking for a real Italian cuisine experience in London

I had a wonderful experience at Lina Stores on Greek Street. We were warmly welcomed by Riccardo, who seated us at the counter. He promptly served us and was very knowledgeable; his recommendations were excellent. The food was served quickly and nicely presented. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, and all the amenities were clean; exactly what you expect from a good dining establishment! I will definitely return, thanks to the entire team!

Fresh pasta, qualified staff, a small Italian oasis in London, thank you, wonderful experience!

We absolutely love this restaurant!! Price quality it’s amazing and the pasta it’s another level. I recommend to make reservation to make sure you get a chance to try their food. Staff is super nice! One of my fav restaurants in London

Banging place and the linguini was delicious. Also Dylan was a fantastic waiter. He deserves a raise!

Excellent Italian first courses prepared with fresh artisan pasta. The starters were good and the desserts were delicious. You don't need to go to Italy to enjoy excellent Italian cuisine. Good attention and service. We will definitely be back.

Lina Store is a true gem! The food is amazing, fresh and made with care. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are super friendly, making you feel right at home. Whether you're with friends or flying solo, it's the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommend!

Excellent italien, pâtes fraîches ! Tout petit restaurant, il est donc préférable de réserver. Les pâtes fraîches sont succulentes, je recommande 3 plats de pâtes pour 2 personnes car les portions sont assez petites mais des produits de grandes qualités. Mes coups de cœur : polenta frite en entrée, pâtes à la truffe ou ravioli à la burrata en plat et testez la mousse au chocolat au caramel beurre salé en dessert!

Este es un lugar acogedor y ocupado. El menú es compacto, pero con amplia selección y cambia regularmente. Hay una buena elección de vino - a precios del centro de Londres. Todos teníamos un plato de pasta diferente y nos encantaron todos. El zumbido es genial.

Wow this was so average. Limited menu, expensive for what it is. Wines very overpriced for what they are. So disappointed but I guess they do the exact same thing 500 times a day and everyone particularly the kitchen line workers just get tired and bored...

We shared 2 pasta dishes and they both were excellent. Portions are not very big but for us it was perfect

Very nice wine (gavi) and lovely starters and pasta, also after theatre. We didn’t book and got a table for 4 on a Friday in December, but at 10pm

Just amazing.. food, service, prices !!

Overrated. Food OK, very small plates.

The food is good. The ravioli, despite being the cheaper dish were very good. This would be a perfect Restaurant, but there is a big negative, which is the size of the portions. While it's hard to recognize from the pictures the portions are quite small, while the prizes are that of a normal size dish. It would be quite easy to eat 3 portions. So in my opinion, either the portions are too small or the prices too high. If you could get two of those dishes at the price of one, there would be nothing to complain about this restaurant. deutsche Kurzfassung: Das Essen ist sehr gut, die Portionen sind zu klein.

Really good quality for the price, I am still dreaming about this truffle dish🥲 I loved being able to see the food being made in front of us when we were sitting at the bar.

We had a delicious and fun night at Lina Stores, with lots of great appies & pasta dishes. Thank you to our server Mabinty, who was so helpful and knowledgable about the food and wine. Loved it!!

Italian food. Really friendly and professional staff. We had a delicious meal. We sat at the bar on super comfy stools. I would definitely recommend it.

The food here is amazing! The pumpkin ravioli were absolutely perfect, full of flavor and cooked just right. The service was excellent, so friendly and efficient. A big thank you to the talented chefs, Laura and Jose, who made the meal so special. This was the best lunch I’ve had in London. I’ll definitely be back!

We had such a lovely experience at Lina Stores in soho that we went twice during our week in London! Walk ins sit upstairs at the bar and can watch the food being prepared. It’s cozy and sits about 10. There’s a larger room downstairs for reservations but we were able to walk in both nights. First night with no wait and the second night was about 30 minutes on a busy Friday. Celine was our hostess both nights. She remembered us when we came back, gave great recommendations, and made us feel so welcome. The truffle pasta and ravioli were some of the best pasta dishes we’ve ever had!

A wonderful pasta spot in Soho and somewhere that whisks you back to Italy in an instant. I like the casual approach to the place and the benefit is the location in that when its busy and you have to wait for a table, you can walk across the road to a selection of bars. Opt for a seat on the counter and order 6-7 different plates between two and enjoy. The menu varies from time to time, but the tomato dish and the truffle dish as well as the filled pasta options were amazing.

Best service and delicious food as usual.

Pasta was ok, but too heavy. Gnudi were good, focaccia awful. Wine wasn’t really good. Service is nice, gentle. Place really noisy and no fresh air at all as it’s a basement with no windows

DISGUSTING KITCHEN STAFF. I went to the toilet and one of the chefs walked out of the cubicle after having not flushed the toilet, wee'd all over the seat and didn't wash his hands. I then walked out to see him stood cooking peoples food. Absolutely disgusting and totally ruined the evening. I will never be eating at Lina Stores again and they should have words with their staff and their hygiene. AVOID.

Great service food and reasonable prices

Such a gem in the midst of Soho’s chaos. Great atmosphere and amazing staff. We each had a pasta dish as we were not starving and shared a dessert between two people. Portions are a little on the smaller side but they will explain that to you upon arrival so no worries. Truffle pasta was the highlight of our table and the limoncello spritz was a very nice appetizer

Amazing Italian food and cocktails. Excellent service.

Terribly uncomfortable evening sat downstairs at Lina Stores Soho. The downstairs room is extremely loud, and very cramped and hot because they’ve crammed as many seats as they possibly could down there. The staff barely have enough room to move around and are constantly having to physically squeeze past the back of chairs, making it super uncomfortable for both them and their customers. It was so loud that we struggled to hear one another at our table and for the majority of the hour we spent there, we could not speak to each other. The staff were inaudible at one stage. It was the least relaxing atmosphere possible and very hard to enjoy the meal and drinks with the chaotic feel of the place. I left with pain in my ears and feeling quite overwhelmed. Such a shame because the pasta although overpriced was really great. If you are booking to come here, I would strongly recommend sitting upstairs at the bar as downstairs is so loud and chaotic.

Cozy little shop with great service. I think I have rarely eaten such delicious pasta! I would come again and again :)

Friendly waiters and fast service. Also very tasty food. I ordered ravioli with cheese, it was very tasty, delicious . So I ordered a caramel tart, it was too sweet for me, but it would be great if eaten with coffee or tea.

Perfect place for a quick lunch or a sit down with friends. Perfect portions of pasta, cooked to perfection. A nice selection of drinks and desserts too.

Great food. Good service. Reasonable price for central London.

Always great. Can't fault the food or the service. Very noisy so might not suit everyone but was great for us.

I've been wanting to come here for some time and I would strongly suggest to book a table if you wish to try this place. I straight away didn't like the attitude of any of the staff, none seemed particularly bothered or friendly, it created straight away an unpleasant vibe. It's a very narrow and busy space, upstairs as well as downstairs which can be cozy or stressfull, here it's the latter. We've rdered the Burrata and Gnudi (which were not hot but still tasty) to start, followed by some pasta with lamb ragu and prawns, all to share. The pasta was very nice although the sauce was lacking a tiny bit of seasoning. We've never been asked if we wanted another drink or how our food was, I was missing some fresh pepper and parmesan for example. The plates were cleared and we were told the table is booked again in 15min, that was 1h15min into us sitting down. We quickly ordered a scoop of ice cream and were then again reminded we have to leave. We quickly paid and were rushed to go. Purely for the awful service (not one smile) and rushed dinner I was very upset with this experience. It was an unpleasant evening and I would not come back. I've had a lot of delicious and fresh pasta in my life and this place should not feel so cocky and put some more effort in the rest of it. It's a money making machine without the hospitality you'd get in Italy

Really excellent service, the waitresses were polite, warm and welcoming. The food was also sensational and I will 100% be coming back

I recommend it even if the plates are not pantagruelical. Fresh pasta fills you up better than barrels 🤣. I loved it!

Their mastery of pasta and Italian dishes make the visits to this restaurant worth every penny. Just great!

Lina stores is well worth a visit, not just for the gorgeous food but for the hospitality of the staff. I had a funny turn in the restaurant and was taken care of by Lisa so so SO well. I could not thank her enough for putting me on a chair, having me drink water and giving me a cold cloth. Eventually we went outside for fresh air. She made me feel safe and calm during what could have been a scary event. Lina stores are very lucky to have Lisa 😀

Perfect for an affordable date night. The food is delicious. The pastas are very fresh. I love the experience of having your order prepared in front of you.
