Had lunch at Lina’s a few weeks ago. The service was lovely and we were served very quickly. We had the gnudi fritti which were really good. The focaccia was ok, and my main (ravioli con burrata) was a bit heavy. It was ok overall!

Busy night and appreciate we were a walk in however lack of attention - staff flirting with each other and very distracted. Nobody really keeping an eye out. We did three courses and left feeling hungry. Staff menu knowledge not great - recommending a white wine that was red. Main portions are equivalent to kids portions most other places. Tasty, good atmosphere but sadly every underwhelming for something we were looking forward to since the launch.

He gave us several recommendations for our food and clearly has a lot of knowledge and passion about the food.

Honestly, one of the best dining experiences I have had in a while. From start to finish, the service was top notch. James and Manuel are real credits to the restaurant. Kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Gave some good suggestions on starters and wines. James clearly has smellier experience, picking out a great white wine and going into detail. The ricotta and ravioli were the stand out dishes!! Would highly recommend

Delicious fresh pasta, we chose to have the set menu selection that was £35pp. Consisted of three starter dishes, three main dishes and tiramisu desert. We enjoyed all the dishes and felt it was good value and nice to have some variation. Would be 5* but the service was a little slow and the atmosphere in the downstairs dining area didn't feel the same as the main area with the open kitchen. There is also some seating outside.

We’ve been a couple of times now. They never seem to have enough staff. It did take a while for someone to come to take our order but the staff were really attentive, lovely and made it a personalised interactive experience. The food we’ve had has always been a little bit different, something we wouldn’t have at home and cooked well. It’s great that they change the menu but keep some classics. Excellent drinks, I really like the seasonal cocktails. The staff had made good suggestions for wine pairing each time.

AMAZING FOOD!!! Heard good things and it didn’t disappoint. We basically ordered the whole menu but the best starters were the ricotta and artichoke. Lemon sole ravioli and the crab linguine were the stand outs for the pasta but all phenomenal. Would come back in a heart beat! Cocktails lovely too, wine on the more expensive side (cheapest £37) but good

Have been here on multiple occasions, the food is always so consistent. It comes out quickly and never disappoints. It can get quite busy sitting outside in terms of people walking past but not surprising due to the location. The service has always been good even on a busy Saturday evening. Would recommend the truffle pasta or the lamb ragu both are phenomenal. The strawberry and hibiscus spritz is also really nice.

Given my prior experience working in the restaurant, I understand the challenges that can arise during busy periods but the service that I receive during my visit was unacceptable . It's true that I been without haven't any reservations but I made myself available to wait patiently and opted to sit outside on the patio to avoid inconveniencing the staff, However, I was left waiting at a dirty table outside without any form of acknowledgment or service without even a glass of water for half a hour. When we approached the general manager, we were informed that your restaurant does not provide table service outside. While we ultimately decided to leave due to the lack of service, I sincerely hope that you will take steps to address these issues and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future, to uphold the reputation and standards that your restaurant is known for.

AMAZING! Best restaurant / dining experience we’ve had for a long time. Incredible food, drinks and service. Lovely ambience. Faultless. We ordered the set sharing menu for four people with the wine pairing. Every single dish was outrageously good. I can’t say anything else except “perfection”. Also reasonably priced, especially considering the quality. I hardly ever leave reviews, but I thought it would be rude not to in this case! Highly recommended.

What a lovely dinner this was. My partner and I didn't have such high expectations for Lina's stores before dining here. However, we quickly reconsidered our prejudice. The decor is delicate and pleasant with a cosy atmosphere featuring their signature colours everywhere from the plates to the walls. We ordered a selection of delicious starters, namely the burrata, the carpaccio, and the deep-fried ricotta-filled dough balls (gnudi). For main, we shared a plate of picci with sausage and mushroom (special shoutout to this; they were so creamy) and pappardelle with lamb ragù. It's clear that the quality of the ingredients here at Lina's is incredible as even the most simple of starters had an outstanding fresh flavour. All this with great value for money too. We'll be back for sure.

Positive: The food was excellent. Pasta taste and texture was fantastic, like being in a nice Italian restaurant. The pasta mains are great value for money, although I’d like to see them offer larger portions for an increased price, as I was still hungry afterwards. They weren’t small per se, but as someone who is 190cm tall and weighs 100kg, I needed something a little more substantial. Neutral: The staff were all friendly, however, everything was slow to come out and we did have to ask twice. We also said that we didn’t want salami because they’d ran out of the focaccia but, maybe in a bit of a translation issue (no judgement, I speak zero other languages and think it’s incredible that others can), they brought some over anyway. We didn’t kick up a fuss, ate it and paid for it. Negative: It was extremely noisy with groups dominating the restaurant. We asked to move once and were then placed downstairs with even noisier groups - for context, this was a Monday night (we’re not party poopers but we wanted a quiet, peaceful meal after a heavy weekend). Secondly, they didn’t have any focaccia, which was pretty shocking for an Italian restaurant. Neither did they have any lager whatsoever - after about 5-6 minutes of waiting the server came back and said they had ran out. For an Italian restaurant to have no focaccia or lager on a Monday evening is poor. Anyway, they lost out in this regard as we opted for water and didn’t replace the focaccia with anything else. We may give it another go but with so many great Italian restaurants close by, it won’t be soon.

I don’t normally go for Italian but the food was incredible - highly recommend the crab pasta and salted caramel dessert. I would probably skip the focaccia. Staff were lovely. It’s probably better to visit when it’s not busy as on the ground floor it’s an open plan kitchen so when it gets busy there’s a fair amount of smoke. We went there on Monday at 6pm when it was very quiet - only got busy around 7.30pm.

One of the OG bakeries I always visit when I'm in Chinatown to buy Char Siu bao, they are generous with their filling in their baos which is why I come here. Even though the inside is a bit small, they have plenty of pastries to choose from, occasionally I also get a coconut Cocktail bun if I want to change it up a bit. If you're not planning to buy a lot of things then make sure you have cash with you when it's under £10.

The only people who will enjoy their food here, are only those who don't know what dim sum is. Prices are extortion, portions are small. All jazzed up with "luxury" ingredients with poor execution. £40 for tiny platters, £15 per dim sum and £22 pounds for a few strands of noodles. The funniest thing are pots of tea that has not tea leaves. Perfect excuse to charge you full price for another pot when traditional you should be able to ask for an unlimited refill. A total cost of £250 that included a service charge of 13.5% Avoid the disappointment and head to China Town. You'll get much better food for half the price.
