Another Padella rival where it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a table (you have to move fast) is Lina Stores. Luckily, there are branches on Brewer Street, Greek Street, Stable Street, Bloomberg Arcade, Marylebone Lane, Clapham, South Kensington and Shoreditch, so you’ve got plenty of chances.
The pasta is famously delicious, as are the snacks and starters, so if you fancy Italian food but are tired of pizza, this is the place for you.
