Lina Stores, with its retro signage and trademark green shade, is a London institution. The Soho deli has been selling hundreds of authentic Italian products, from cheeses to antipasti and fresh pasta made by hand every morning, since 1944.

Lina Stores has just opened a new restaurant and deli in King’s Cross. It’s round the back of Coal Drops Yard, near Dishoom, Barrafina and Bodega Rita, making one ace culinary line-up.

During busy times it’s walk-in only – but your chances of getting a table here are way higher than in the tiny spot on Greek Street. Just look at all those lovely green seats.

You can reserve tables, though, for early dinner, lunch and even breakfast, when Nutella-filled breakfast doughnuts are on the menu.
Lina Stores King’s Cross is at 20 Stable St, N1C 4DR. Find out more or book a table here.
