The story
At Lidl's Streatham High Road location, the annual San Valentino line delivers a curious mix of hits and misses, as creator Pratt discovered. He found items like the pizza, ravioli, and potato hearts to be honest and tasty, while the cupcake and tartufo leaned cloying or disappointing. Most memorably, Pratt called the soufflé "a delicious lie," capturing the line's playful tension between indulgence and letdown.
Among the many dishes, the Cuor di Pizza, Nuggets al Prosciutto, and Cuoricini di Grana Padano earned his approval, alongside the Mirtillo and Cuori Ripieni. However, the Vaniglia Cupcake and Tartufo e Lamponi fell short. For Valentine's shopping, stick with the savory standouts and that soufflé—a rewarding, if deceptive, treat.

Reviewers consistently praise the Cuor di pizza for its surprisingly authentic, crisp crust. The overall vibe is that Lidl offers shockingly good, no-fuss Italian staples that rival takeout.
“This is the classic Lidl pizza, but with a heart shape. It's maybe a bit more tomatoey than usual. They were honest with the prices too, it's proportional to the normal classic one. I'd give it an 8 for the honesty they showed.”

Lidl's San Valentino line is a mixed bag: some items are honest and tasty (pizza, ravioli, potato hearts), others are cloying or disappointing (cupcake, tartufo), but the soufflé is a delicious lie.
Dishes mentioned
Cuor di Pizza
This is the classic Lidl pizza, but with a heart shape. It's maybe a bit more tomatoey than usual. They were honest with the prices too, it's proportional to the normal classic one. I'd give it an 8 for the honesty they showed.
Nuggets al Prosciutto
They don't look like the bad fried ones. They're romantic because they're heart-shaped, but they're a bit mushy. I'd give them a 5 plus for the romance.
Cuoricini di Grana Padano
You can make a little platter with these heart-shaped Grana Padano pieces for your partner. It's a nice idea. I'd give it a 4 for the idea. The cheese itself is good.
Mirtillo 4,99
This is the most expensive thing today at 4.99. It's heart-shaped and really filled with gelato. I like it when the mochi layer is more cooked, chewy. For the most expensive thing, I'd give it a 5.5.
Cuori Ripieni con Pomodoro e Mozzarella di Bufala Campana OP
These are big heart-shaped ravioli. They're really romantic. The red color comes from powdered tomato, it's very vegetal. The filling is delicious, very generous. I'd give them an 8.
