Lina Stores is opening a new restaurant and bar in Canary Wharf
In our humble opinion, Lina Stores is one of the best pasta producers in the city. It's been crafting fresh anelli, tagliatelle, farfalle and fettuccine for more than 80 years, opening its very first deli on Soho's Brewer Street in 1944.
Since then, more pastel green tiled Lina Stores have sprouted up across the London, with one even opening in Manchester last year. Now, Lina Stores is launching its tenth restaurant, deli and cocktail bar in Canary Wharf.
Sat on Crossrail Place, a short walk from Canary Wharf station, the new all-in-one Lina outlet will have everything that the Italian brand has become known for since first opening its original deli.
The new place be open for lunch and dinner every day of the week with capacity for around 100 diners. There'll be antipasti, fresh pasta dishes (think crab linguine, spaghetti carbonara or truffle tagliolini) and other Italian classics to indulge in (like aubergine parmigiana, affogato and tiramisu). There will be options, for veggies, vegans, halal and gluten-free folk, too.
On the ground floor, you'll find an open-plan Italian deli, with strong Italian coffee, salads, panini and dried pasta to take home, and a sultry low-lit bar tucked away at the back serving up a host of Italian-inspired concoctions. An Italian food haven.
Lina Stores Canary Wharf will be open for business from Monday, June 9.

Legendary Edinburgh chippies remembered by locals ahead of National Fish & Chip Day
Ahead of National Fish & Day 2025 (Friday, June 6), we asked Edinburgh residents for their memories of the city's famous Brattisani's chippies. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There's legendary institutions – and there's Brattisani's fish and chip shops. It's a story which begins well over a century ago. The original Brattisani's, on Church Lane in Stockbridge, was opened in 1889 by Giuseppe Brattisani, who was part of the first wave of Italian families to settle in the city, after immigrating from Parma in the 1870s. When Giuseppe enlisted with the Italian army during the First World War, his wife took over the running of the chippy. Mercifully, he survived the war, and on returning to Edinburgh decided to open a new fish and chip shop – the Deep Sea, on Union Place, which he later sold to the Crolla family. After the demolition of Union Place in 1970, the Deep Sea moved to Antigua Street, where it still serves fish and chips to this day. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Next to take over the family business was Giuseppe's son, Joseph, who earned the nickname of 'Mr Chips'. At one time or another, he ran five restaurants in Auld Reekie. His sons, Charles and Joe, would then follow in their father's footsteps. Brattisani's chippies were loved by generations of families in Edinburgh. Charles Brattisani opened his first shop in 1961, lending the family name to what became a hugely-popular chippy on Henderson Row. Joe, meanwhile ran another thriving fish and chip shop on Brougham Place in Tollcross. In 1966 and 1970 respectively, the brothers Brattisani opened branches in Haymarket and Newington. Both those chippies survived for over three decades, and arguably the most famous of all the Brattisani-run emporiums. The branch on Newington Road, in particular, is the stuff of local legend. For many people brought up in the city, no hard day's swim at the Royal Commonwealth (Commie) Pool was complete without a visit to this chippy, which was memorable for its red seating booths. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Sadly, all good things must come to an end. The Haymarket chippy shut its doors in 2002, with the Newington branch serving its last fish supper just two years later. It's a case of gone but never forgotten for Edinburgh residents. We asked our readers for memories of Brattisani's famous chippies – and hundreds of you responded. Below are some of those recollections. David Turnbull wrote: 'My dad told us he was taking us out for a meal. Mum thought it would be somewhere posh so we all got dressed up - he took us to Brattisani's at Haymarket. Fish suppers, bread and butter and a pot of tea – and we loved it.' Lesley Gallier recalled: 'Starting my nursing training we stayed in the nurses home round the corner from there in Newington. 1977. We never went hungry . Amazing. Happy days.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Scott Wilson said: '32p child bus fare from Gracie to Newington for the Commie, then Brattisanis after!' Dougie Ewart wrote: 'Used to come down from the Commy pool with all my mates and then into Brattisani's for a chippy. I always got sausages and they would give you a few chips if you got a single, with salt & sauce. While your mates who ordered, sometimes you would miss the bus. But it would stop at traffic lights, and you had to run over the road, bolt to the traffic lights, get over the road, and catch it as it stopped around the corner. Laughing as we ran along the road with supper in hand trying to catch the bus... great chippy great times.' Moira F Gray remembered: 'Brattisani's at Haymarket after ice skating at Murrayfield on a Friday night. Best ever chippy! Neil Tomlinson said: 'I would always go there after swimming, I also took my daughter once and she listened to some stories. I also loved the tomato chippy sauce on my chips.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Elizabeth Stanton recalled: Coming out of the Commonwealth Pool starving and heading straight for the best chippy ever. Sitting on the bus eating our supper heading home. Years later, taking our children and sitting in the booths reminiscing.' Last, but not least, Samantha Brattisani chipped in with some kind words for Evening News readers, saying: 'It was my dad, Joe Brattisani, who owned the shop. Dad and family (Maria, Eric, Charles and George Brattisani) that ran the shops for many years. Everyone I know, including me, loved going to the Commonwealth Pool then to the Newington chippy. That has never been forgotten – thanks to all that take the time to comment.'

Royal Ascot backs next generation of hat-makers from King's charity
Ahead of this month's world-famous meet, known as much for its colourful and creative displays of headwear as the horseracing, Ascot has introduced a £10,000 annual bursary to support a King's Foundation and Chanel graduating millinery student. Daniel McAuliffe, education director at The King's Foundation said: 'The royal family are incredible ambassadors for the craft of millinery and as the King's charity we are proud to be supporting the future of this skill at the most iconic hat-wearing event of the year.' The Foundation's students will also be showcasing their hats at this year's Royal Ascot, which runs from June 17-21, with a special display for racegoers in the Queen Anne Enclosure on the Berkshire course. The Chanel and The King's Foundation Metiers d'Art Millinery Fellowship in Partnership with le19M, Chanel's creative hub for artisans in Paris, was launched in 2024 with a cohort of six students. The intensive programme aims to develop a network of young specialist milliners in the UK, with the support of Parisian hat-maker Maison Michel at le19M. It forms part of The King's Foundation's wider work, inspired by Charles's passion for protecting traditional heritage skills at risk of being lost. Future students joining the millinery course will also be tasked with designing a Royal Ascot-inspired hat, with one selected to feature in the Royal Ascot Millinery Collective from 2026 onwards as its 11th design. The collective, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is an annual presentation of 10 bespoke designs created exclusively for Royal Ascot under the creative direction of British fashion designer Daniel Fletcher. Mr McAuliffe added: 'This is such a fantastic opportunity for our talented millinery students as they begin to build their businesses. 'We are delighted to be working with Ascot and our long-term partners Chanel and le19M to recognise the importance of the British tradition of millinery.' Felicity Barnard, Ascot Racecourse's chief executive, said: 'Exquisite hats and millinery masterpieces are woven into the very fabric of Royal Ascot's heritage and we are committed to preserving and celebrating this tradition for generations to come.'
