Although the location is far for me, I grew up in the NE and relied on Lina's Italian Market for shopping, party ideas, and finding the best authentic fresh made pasta. deli salads, savoury Sauces and my favourite the BEST bruschetta in town.
I could go on about how ridiculously addictive the food is, so much so I craved their Tiramisu during my pregnancy. However, theirs a few flaws to this great Italian Market for starters the place is a tad run-down and service can be hard to find if looking for something during their peak hours. The location is situated on a vary busy street, with plenty of Hustle & Bustle during week nights and weekends. The best time to go is morning or 1 hour after lunch. or else you will spend the next hour frantically searching for parking.
"It's obvious that long-time loyal customers come for the food not the experience."
If your ever in the NE check out their wood-oven pizzas and fresh Tabouli, Lina's Market has everything especially for the most pickiest eaters around.
