Lina Stores Ltd: Brewer Street

I've shopped here for many years, it's like being transported to Italy, their pasta is superb (especially the pumpkin ravioli) Established in the 1930s by Lina, who moved to this shop after WWII. When Lina retired In the 1970s it was bought by the Filippi family from Piacenza in Emilia Romagna. The fascia is vitrolite and the colour - 'Eau de Nil' is very 1930/40s. I love the sriped blinds that match the vitrolite.
