Lina Stores Soho, London

Visited Lina Stores in London for the first time a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday after work. 

Welcomed by the friendliest staff and shown to our table in the basement (dress lightly - basement is quite warm!). 

Staff  were quite patient with myself and two other friends who hadn't come together for a while, so after a few times of asking them for *two more minutes (please)*, we ordered: 

  • Aubergine Polpette - crunchy on the outside and cheesy aubergine on the inside 
  • Burrata - classic fluffiness
  • Linguine al Granchio - heavenly crab and black pepper combination
  • Tagliolini al Tartufo - they are not shy on the truffle (photo 1)
  • Ravioli con Stracciatella - transports you to an italian veranda (photo 2) 
+ a bottle of crispy cold white wine.

The cravings for a sweet Italian finish led us to a trio of divine sins:
  • Pistachio gelato
  • Mousse al Cioccolato - could have three more of this chocolate dream
  • Cannolo Siciliano con Ricotta - size matters and they make sure it's enough to share (photo 3)
All this food added up to £33 (per person for 3 people)

The End
