We came here to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and they truly made the evening feel so special. The restaurant has such a beautiful, upscale and luxurious Italian atmosphere, and the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — especially the pasta! 😋 Everything we ordered, from the appetizers to our main courses, was excellent. The drinks were just as impressive, and we especially loved the mixology presentation, which added such a fun and elevated touch to the evening. We were all so full after appetizers and our entrées that we unfortunately didn’t have room to try the house-made desserts! That just gives me another reason to come back because I already have my eye on the homemade crème brûlée!🤭 Excellent food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. 10/10 dinner experience, and we will absolutely be returning! ❤️🍝🥂

What a horrible experience we had a Brunch here yesterday. We were stuck there for 3 & half hrs. The service was so slow and it was pretty empty when we got there. The waitress didn’t bother to come check on us. Acted like we didn’t matter. We had to flag several staff down to get water, the mimosa we paid unlimited for, everything we needed was a problem. Now the food, the apps weren’t great the bacon slab was way over cook so chewy barely edible but even worse the Brussels sprouts under it was completely raw not edible. Calamari had more tentacles than anything. The lobster roll was ok. The entrées were horrible. The sausage and egg dish was missing the egg, very few potatoes and the sauce on top wasn’t tasty. My steak and eggs I ordered medium and it was well done barely chewable and the eggs didn’t taste good the way it was seasoned and the potatoes were salty. The carbonara pasta was ok just the sauce was thick. The only good meal was the burger that got a 10/10 from my adult kids. Dessert 2 of us ordered the tiramisu And something in it was spoiled and I had to send it back. I’m a baker so trust me I knew with the first bite. The bread pudding was ok but the coconut panna cot

I don’t normally leave reviews but Lena definitely deserves it. It’s a local spot here in Pelham Bay/Throggs Neck - and I’m glad it’s here. Reservation was super easy on a Friday. Walked in, and immediately got seated, handed menus and greeted by our Waiter, Angel. I used to work in hospitality for 7 years so I look out for the little things. Angel, hit the mark every time. Outside of constantly refilling water, Angel took the extra mile to explain the menu with care to my Mother who is in her 60’s, and gave us recommendations. Food wise - we ordered the Octopus, Baked Clams and for Entrees has Pasta. Food was super fresh and didn’t take super long - everything was in reasonable time. Mocktails as well were outstanding. Super fresh and not too sweet. The Wine paired very well with my meal. The Crème Brûlée for dessert was a little too sweet but also a larger size compared to other places. Still a great option. 5/5 Stars, Will definitely be back!

I came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday with my girls and we had such a wonderful time. The atmosphere was beautiful, classy, and the seating was very spacious. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Our waitress was so kind and patient, taking the time to answer our questions and make sure we were happy. I had the Japanese Kimchi Marinated NY Strip and it was cooked perfectly — I finished my whole plate lol. Overall it was a great experience and I’d recommend bringing around $100 for a nice meal. I’ll definitely be back. 😊

Wow 10 out of 10. Had reservations for my bday dinner here for 6 with friends and what a great experience! Reservations were for 7:30pm and we arrived at 725pm to park. They have valet parking in front of mama sushi, next door to Lena, but we actually found a parking across the street. We arrived and waited about 5 minutes before being seated. All my friends were there except 1 she was about 10 mins late but no biggie they still sat us no issue. Our server was so nice and friendly, the GM Joseph was also so personable and professional. They made the experience truly wonderful! Food was amazing, drinks also-that pink Lamborghini drink was something else-i would come back for that alone! I recommend the Caesar salad, pollo francese, margarita pizza and the cheesecake. Everything was excellent and reasonably priced. This place has a nice ambiance, very romantic and the decor is very modern. Great for taking pics. The bathrooms were also very clean. I will def be returning soon for a date night snd brunch! Thank you to the staff here for making my birthday dinner so special !!
