Lina Stores Shoreditch

Lina Stores Shoreditch is the flagship full restaurant of the beloved Italian deli and pasta brand that has been a Soho institution since 1944. Opened in 2024 inside a beautifully restored Grade II listed former bank on Shoreditch High Street, the Shoreditch restaurant is the grandest and most ambitious of all the Lina Stores sites -- a stunning space that combines original Victorian architecture with the brand's signature green hues, marble-top tables and bespoke opal glass lamps. A private dining room for 15 tucked behind original timber panels beneath the original skylight completes the picture. Rated 4.6 stars on TripAdvisor.

The menu is an extension of the beloved Soho delicatessen, with fresh, handmade pasta very much taking centre stage alongside antipasti, secondi and dolci using only the finest authentic Italian ingredients. The Formica bar with oak detailing provides a front-row seat to watch the chefs at work. Bar Lina -- Lina Stores' low-lit Italian-designed cocktail bar -- operates in the basement, serving the best of Italian spirits, wines and beers from aperitivo hour through to late. Open Monday to Thursday for lunch and dinner; Friday to Sunday all day. Book at linastores.co.uk.
