ABOUT US

We are London’s most iconic Italian delicatessen and restaurant, with locations in Soho, King’s Cross, City, Marylebone, Clapham and South Kensington. First opened in 1944, Lina Stores is known for its fresh, handmade pasta, meats, cheeses, antipasti and many more products — all imported from Italy!
