  “I got sat quickly the waiter was fast in bringing me water and taking my order. The food came out quickly as well. I came during lunch and had the truffle pasta which is absolutely brilliant. I will definitely will be back!”

  “We tried the Festa da Lina menu and it was tasty from start to finish. I really liked the pasta and grilled prawns - both were full of flavor. The tiramisu was also very good, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We even met a group of Italians who told us they'd been there the day before and came back again because it was that good! Totally agree!”

  “We had a lovely meal here! We went for the set menu which I highly recommend, the food was amazing and you get a great selection for a decent price. Our highlights were the focaccia, truffle pasta and tuna crudo. Drinks were okay but nothing too special. Staff were really lovely :)”

  “my partner and i ordered the SELEZIONE DI LINA, which is £35pp. this was the best choice i’ve ever made, the food and spread of food is so good for the money, so so worth it. we also ordered a peach bellini each, in which were both expecting some proper peach bits but disappointingly just a no peach bits bellini, which was still tasty! if u ever order al a carte, i would definitely go for the pea and mint ravioli and the ragu parpadelle (personally not a truffle enthusiast). for antipasti i’d go for the focaccia all day every day. if i visit next time id be sure to try out all the other desserts. it acc made it funnier and more special when they were testing the fire alarms ever so often. however it seemed to me that they were slightly understaffed, the waiter was just running around and couldn’t even stop to take the bill!”

  “For the ones who miss authentic Italian food- Lina is the place. Home made pasta and dolci. Mouthwatering flavours of pici nduja, crab spaghetti and best ever tiramisu. I never had such delicious fillings for canoli. Completely worth the money. The staff are very friendly and polite.”

  “I went there for the first time and must say the focaccia was amazing. The food was very good and freshly made. The desserts were delicious as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was the weekend, so it was a bit crowded. I’m giving 4 stars because, for the prices, the place could be a bit fancier.”

  “My partner and I came here for valentine’s day and had a lovely meal. The food was nice, highlights were the crab linguine and the focaccia starter. We also had the pumpkin ravioli (needed more salt and pepper as was a bit bland) and the gnudi balls (I loved but my partner just thought they were ok). Could be better veggie options. The vibes were nice, and the service was good - attentive staff despite the place being rammed for Valentines! Will say we were very crammed in - table next to us was SO close to us!”

  “Wow. This place is amazing. The food is superb, and the service! I came with a friend and had to come back the next day as I was so wow’d. The service was unreal, Awais was such a genuine, lovely server he took care of every need and more. All staff that came to the table were super lovely too, the host, the food runner, drinks runner - everyone! The company must be great to work for as so many great people. We will be back again next week for sure!”

  “Absolutely brilliant experience at Lina Stores Manchester. Everything we had was outstanding, from the fresh pasta to the deli. The pasta dishes were rich, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour – clearly made with top-quality ingredients. The focaccia was warm, airy, and addictive, ideal for sharing. We also loved the drinks selection, especially the Italian beers and wines, which paired perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish, service is friendly and attentive, and the whole experience feels effortlessly authentic. The photos really say it all – beautiful food, great presentation, and generous portions.”

  “We had a lovely lunch experience. We ordered some focaccia to start with, it was served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkled with sea salt and rosemary. I had the truffle pasta, my daughter had the bolognese and my partner got the lamb ragu. The truffle pasta was delicious, lots of truffles you can smell it but it’s not overpowering when you eat it. The bolognese for my daughter, the portion was definitely big enough to be an adult portion. She managed to eat half and my partner ate the rest. It was tasty, pasta was al dente just how we like it. We were given a small bowl of cheese for her and she absolutely loved it. (She loves cheese soo the extra serving of cheese really made her day). The lamb ragu was delicious served with some green veg. Everything we got was definitely worth the price they charge. It’s all freshly made and service was quick. We were in and out in an hour. Staff were attentive. Overall great experience. Amazing food”
