London’s Best Italian Deli Restaurants | Eater London
"The Lina Stores deli opened on Brewer street in 1944 and is now as much a part of Soho as sex shops and musty boozers. The distinctive green branding has been present from the start, but honed over the years to a familiar minty hue. Stand out products include the Parmigiano Vacche Brune made from the milk of the Bruna cow — try it with fig or quince mostarda — and prosciutto that is arguably some of the best to be found in London, its fat particularly milky-sweet. At the restaurant (a short walk away on Greek street), gnudi are standout, a far cry from the usual pudgy zeppelins. Ricotta from the deli is combined with spinach, breadcrumbs, egg and nutmeg, then slipped into a sage and butter sauce." - Helen Graves
