" I can honestly say that Lena's Italian Kitchen has the best Chicken Parmesan I've ever tasted! It was perfectly breaded and fried, with plenty of marinara and just the right amount of cheese. The portion was huge; I ended up sharing it! The owner is really friendly too, so I'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want honest Italian food, with decent portions and fast service, this is your place. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors in the pesto pasta I ordered. It tasted fresh and homemade, and the garlic bread was just as good! Definitely on my list for a repeat visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lena's of Upper East Side is a revelation! I didn't get the chance to dine in this time, simply chose takeout, but every bite I had in my Penne Vodka was decadent and satisfying! It’s a great place for a quick bite that feels upscale. Will be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a scale of 1 to 10, Lena's Italian Kitchen is a solid 12! They know how to do Italian food right. We recently held a family gathering and ordered a variety of dishes for everyone. The Eggplant Parm was a crowd favorite, highly praised for its cheesy goodness! The delivery was timely, and there was plenty of food – even leftovers for the next day. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" You have to try Lena's Italian Kitchen if you're in the area! Their fresh salads, breadsticks, and pasta were excellent. I ordered the Penne Alla Vodka and was impressed with the balance of flavors. Plus, the service was quick and friendly, making it all the more enjoyable. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Lena's was disappointing. The delivery took longer than expected, and my food arrived lukewarm. The Chicken Piccata flavor was not as vibrant as I had hoped. I would give this place another chance in-house; however, I wouldn't order delivery again anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was good, but I did find the service to be lacking during my visit. My order took longer than expected, but the delicious Pasta Primavera made up for the wait. Waiting for my food to arrive was a little frustrating, especially since my order was pretty straightforward. " (*Curated Review*)
