" Lena's is my go-to for a quick Italian meal. I love their customizable options like extra sauce or cheese. My Chicken Parmesan was exactly how I like it: crispy and golden brown. I also appreciate the quick delivery service and friendly staff when I pick up in person. The portions are quite generous, making it excellent value for money! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the Chicken Parm and it was really good! The breading was so crispy and the chicken was juicy. My only complaint would be the lack of sides included with the meal. Ideally, I think customers should receive better accompaniments. But the overall quality was lovely! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Lena’s for that authentic Italian vibe! Their food takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen, which is hard to come by in the city. The chicken dishes here are the absolute best! Portions are generous, and the flavors are on point. Just a wonderful place to eat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely fell in love with their dessert options! The Tiramisu was heavenly, and the range of desserts available makes it hard to choose. The staff is also truly attentive and seem to enjoy serving customers, which adds to the experience. Lena's is definitely a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a taste of Italy without having to travel, Lena’s is the place! Their Lasagna is hearty, loaded with flavors, and plenty for two. Plus, their staff are always so sweet! It’s cozy and feels like a home away from home. I highly recommend it! " (*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*)
