The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner - London - The Infatuation

"What It Is: A pasta bar in Soho from the 70 year-old deli on Brewer Street. Perfect For: Dinner With Parents, Date Night, Casual Midweek Dinner, Practically Everyone, Catching Up With Mates Lina Stores on Greek Street feels like going back in time to the Soho of our dreams. Upstairs is all bustling counter and charming ice-cream parlour pastels, but we ate downstairs. We’re glad we did. It’s far roomier down there, and we needed the space when we ordered everything they had an offer. The aubergine polpettes made for an especially good starter, and truffle and ricotta tortellini were rich and delicious. That’s not to say the menu is all fancy. In fact it’s perfectly sized, and excellent value for the quality. The Verdict: Not every pasta was a hit, but this is charming new spot in Soho for a casual meal." - sam collins, oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, eileen twum
