I thought I knew a fair amount Italian food but watching and photographing the pasta being made at Lina's made me really appreciate the craft and what good value it is at Lina's.
Now I appreciate every mouthful and recognise the work that went into it.
Piping the ricotta and spinach into the agnolotti
Rolls of pappardelle
Opened in Brewer Street, Soho in 1947 by Lina an Italian immigrant from Genoa
Pasta sheets being turned before rolling and slicing into pappardelle
Eating gnudi outside on the bar
Head chef, Masha with a selection of her wonderful pastas
I love this dish, lemon sorbet served on a glass of lemoncello; such a wonderful simple execution
We all love a Sicilian cannoli which was made famous in the film The Godfather https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35fLKn2Tq3o
Masha on the pass
Marina, a Puglian beauty
I love sitting on the bar, chatting to the staff, watching the dishes being prepared, seeing delicious pastas being served
The lovely team at Lina's
