Lina Stores Greek Street Restaurant is the Soho dining extension of the celebrated Italian delicatessen that began on nearby Brewer Street in 1944. Fresh pasta is made by hand every day and served across two compact floors, with an open kitchen and counter on the ground level and a cosy restaurant below. The bright green interiors and close view of the chefs create an energetic setting for lunch, dinner or a drink before the theatre.
Antipasti places good Italian produce at the centre of simple plates. Green olives and rosemary focaccia sit alongside fried ricotta gnudi, crisp artichokes with salsa verde, burrata with olive oil and roast veal with tuna dressing, anchovies and capers. Seasonal vegetable salads and cured meats bring further variety, letting diners share several small dishes before the pasta arrives.
Pasta remains the main attraction, shaped by regional recipes and the delicatessen’s long history. Pici cacio e pepe celebrates hand rolled Tuscan pasta with cheese and black pepper, while other dishes pair fresh shapes with slow cooked ragù, butter, sage, seafood or seasonal vegetables. The kitchen’s concise approach keeps the texture of the pasta and the quality of each sauce in clear focus.
Seasonal secondi add fish, meat and vegetable dishes for diners who want a broader meal, while cannoli, tiramisù, gelato and affogato provide classic Italian finishes. The downstairs aperitivo bar serves Negroni, spritzes, Italian wine and alcohol free alternatives that work before dinner or alongside the food. Counter seating is kept for walk ins, making the restaurant useful for a spontaneous Soho lunch as well as a planned evening booking.
