Italian Restaurant in Shoreditch
Tucked into a restored Grade II‑listed former bank, Lina Stores is an affordable and beautiful Italian restaurant in Shoreditch. Think marble‑top booths, mint green hues, and an open kitchen that makes dinner feel special.
The menu has a number of dishes which are designed to share. One standout dish was the Pici with fennel sausage, Calabrian chilli, rosemary, and Grana Padano cheese. The thick, hand‑rolled pasta, rosemary and gentle heat from the Calabrian chilli brought both depth and balance to the dish.
The Burrata Ravioli features two giant two parcels of cheese, paired beautifully with sweet datterini tomatoes, basil, and crunchy pine nuts. Lastly, the Tagliolini made with rich egg yolks is tossed in butter, black truffle, and Parmigiano Reggiano for a luxuriously earthy finish.
For a main dish, the Grilled Prawns, served with garlic, lemon, and datterini tomato are succulent and flavoursome. Save some room for the homemade tiramisu and indulgent cannoli.
Service at Lina is friendly and seamless and the pasta dishes start from an affordable £9 which is great value for the quality. Add on cocktails from only £7 and you are on to a winner – a thoroughly recommended Italian restaurant in Shoreditch.
