I just found out about this restaurant a week ago and I've already been back again. The food is slamming and so are the drinks! I had the Caesar salad with chicken in it any the flavor was freaking AMAZING. It felt like I was eating a MEAL and it was just a salad. Omg! My price range was between 50 and 100 dollars bc I had 3 drinks (non- happy hour) with that salad. I loved everything.

Coming from someone who takes fine dining,taste,quality and overall experience very seriously. I loved the atmosphere here. If you wanted to try something that came out of nonna’s garden, definitely try the lobster ravioli. The sauce and pasta were made to perfection along with the meatballs. As an added bonus the focaccia bread was spot on. Your taste buds will definitely know that the bread was also made from scratch and the passion from the person who made it. The only way this quality bread would be made is through a brick oven, which is exactly what you’ll see when you get a loaf of this amazing restaurant. Simply put, this is definitely a place I would visit again without question
We had a repass for my father-in-law at Lena's this week. I can't say enough about this amazing establishment. From the planning to the actual event, everything went so smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a large party, and the service was so good. The wait staff was very attentive, and they were able to not only accommodate special dietary needs (a couple of vegan guests and one with celiac disease), but actually prepared delicious alternatives for them. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, and the atmosphere was comfortable and elegant in a very simple way. Guest after guest commented, as as they were leaving, on the quality and the amount of food, and the attentive service. Prices were very good, especially considering the five star quality of the food. I live in New Jersey, but will definitely take a trip over the bridge to revisit Lena's. It's definitely worth the trip.

First time trying Lena and everything about it was so good! We made last minute reservations and was able to dine, so thank you! The ambiance is very romantic with low lighting. The service and food were great! We tried their apps, pasta, and drinks. I would definitely recommend and come back to Lena!

Went for my mother's birthday and she loved the ambiance and the food. My children both under 15 enjoyed all the food and ate it all up. I really appreciated our server who spoke both English and Spanish and really personalized the experience. The team checking in on the quality and ensuring we are ok really made it even better

Excellent Service, the ambience is superb, with the added music but not over powering-in good taste. The attention to detail in service was super, Rose took care of our table, she was awesome. We had our appetizers clams oreganato, and the eggplant-was yummy. The drinks were served in time, made to order. There's an open kitchen, which I Love. The water was poured in our glasses as we feasted on our food. Picked up empty plates, and wiped the table, I happen to Love that aspect of fine dining although it's a relaxed type of place, and beautiful art work, of famous Actors and actresses depicting a total feel of downtown Manhattan. It was in the Bronx. Well worth the trip to go there, and believe me you won't be disappointed. The manager came to our table introduced himself, Arturo he was very pleasant and friendly. This was a full moon night to top it off. But if I could give this establishment a 10 stars on following attention to detail, I've got to say, you've got to experience it for yourself. I'm going to be coming back again. Thank you Arturo, and Rose and those that as a team made the service an amazing experience.

Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience at Lena Trattoria in the Bronx. The pan-seared yellowfin tuna was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the bed of spinach. The lobster bisque was rich and flavorful, a true indulgence for seafood lovers.My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Pollo Francese dish, which was tender and well-seasoned. The eggplant rollatini was a delightful start to our meal, with perfectly cooked eggplant slices.The service at Lena Trattoria was exceptional, with Sebastian going above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting, making it a great spot for a romantic date night or a casual dinner with family and friends.I would highly recommend Lena Trattoria to anyone looking for delicious Italian cuisine in the Bronx. The food, service, and ambiance all surpassed my expectations, and I will definitely be returning in the future. 10/10 would recommend.
