Lina Stores Italian Restaurant & Deli Marylebone

You walk into Lina Stores and it feels like you've stepped into an Italian corner shop that's been there for decades—because it has. The marble counters, the hanging cured meats, the shelves crammed with Italian provisions: it's all genuinely charming rather than done-up for Instagram. You can sit down for a proper meal—handmade pasta, seasonal specials, the kind of thing that tastes like someone's nonna is in the kitchen—or grab provisions for dinner at home. The space is snug and buzzy without being shouty, and you'll find locals who actually live in the neighbourhood sitting alongside visitors who've finally made it past the tourist honeypot of Marylebone High Street.
