Retro mint green Italian restaurant & deli with cannoli
"Remember your week one wobble days that involved a tub of ice cream and binging Tiger King. Sweet memories. It’s time to distract yourself with a hit of fresh, handmade pasta. And antipasti. And Aperol. Lina Stores are delivering all of the above, as well as bread, desserts, and homemade sauces. Plus, prepping their pappardelle bolognese will come as a welcome distraction." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"We see your sad Creme Egg from the off-license and we raise you a bag of chocolate drops direct from Tuscany. If you just said ‘that’s classy’ out loud then same. Lina Stores in King’s Cross is a dreamy pastel restaurant that not only made us debate starting a Pinterest purely dedicated to especially pleasing shades of green, but they also have a great deli serving quintessential Italian treats. We’re talking chocolate-covered grissini, tins of assorted amaretti, and limoncello cuneesi. Now, all of the above are available from their online shop. As well as their vast selection of chocolate, we’ve also got our eye on their colombas, a classic Italian Easter cake that’s shaped like a dove and comes topped with sugar and almonds. Again, very classy." - heidi lauth beasley
"Both the original Soho and the King’s Cross locations of Lina Stores are open in deli form. There’re a load of fresh pasta options for you to choose from (and then squirrel away), like artichoke and fresh truffle ravioli, casarecce, plus homemade sauces you can heat up at anytime. Look for yourself here." - jake missing
"What they’ve got:Italian festive hampers, pastel homeware, and importantly, cannoli. Oh Lina Stores, you mint green, retro, Wes Anderson wet dream. Pretty much everyone wants their kitchen to look like this seriously charming, pastel Italian restaurant. And now, thanks to their online shop, they can. We’re talking mint green tea towels, candy-stripe tote bags, deli essentials, and several festive hampers with real-deal Italian produce. And yes, there’s cannoli too." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"We have taken small humans to Lina Stores in King’s Cross and it was an absolute success. The legacy of our visit probably remains in crayon on the mint green booth in the corner—an exceptional piece of artwork we’re calling Dead Pigeon I Saw In The Canal. Even this moving artistic display didn’t cause a single server to bat an eye as they offered more crayons and suggested the orecchiette con salsiccia d’agnello for the grown-ups. The Italian restaurant is a retro pastel daydream and you’ll usually see a couple of buggies parked by the adjoining deli. Plus, thanks to its location it’s still got a decent buzz even if you’re heading here for an early dinner." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
