    I recently visited Leuca for brunch, which was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The outdoor seating provided a charming ambiance, and the salads as starters were fresh and flavorful. The pasta mid-course was cooked to perfection, and the egg dishes for mains were delightful. The portion sizes were generous, and we even brought home the extra because the food was so good. The service was attentive and friendly. Overall, Leuca offers an unforgettable brunch with outstanding food and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

    We probably didn’t experience Leuca in its prime, as it was Memorial weekend and pretty quiet. We liked it though and the waitress was lovely. Love to go back when it was in full flow. Food was very good.

    Food is very pricey for what it is and service is absolutely failing at this restaurant, sending orders to the wrong tables, waiters wandering in the restaurant to find which customer ordered what, a complete mess.

    Most awful food ever! Totally surprised as the venue is lovely! Wait staff very stiff and unwelcoming. Tuna Crudo not good at all. Presentation of everything except the Marguerita pizza was below par! Smoked beets were inedible. Smoked flavor overpowered the dish. Waste of an evening… never returning

    We liked this place. Romantic, nice energy. A little bigger than I like for most restaurants. The food was good. The portions of pasta varied a lot depending on which one you ordered. The ravioli is a few pieces but the eggplant pasta is a whole trough. The service was great. The pizza is really good, especially the dough. Would go back.

    The Grilled Octopus and the Sheep’s Milk Ricotta was 10/10 and the service too! My only critique would be the Lumache pasta was over cooked. Nonetheless, I would come back again.

    The chef has a heavy hand with the salt. Pizza crust as well as my pasta dish much too salty. I left nearly the entire pasta dish uneaten.

    Didn’t think the food was good. All the veggies were drenched in oil, couldn’t taste what was being eaten. Desert was bland. Completely overpriced on food and even soda is $5 a drink with no refills. We won’t be back, shame because we are staying at William Vale for another month.

    Mother’s Day. Took forever for someone to come to table. Sat down at 11:05 and didn’t get our drinks until 11:35. I ordered a flat white and got a coffee with milk. Took forever to find someone to help us even though it seemed like there was a ton of staff running around. When we were done eating Our plates were stacked at the end of table, but this wasn’t enough of a hint to the staff that we were very finished. Shall I go on? We ordered pancakes for dessert. They were dropped off at the table with the pile of other plates still there; and was given no utensils or share plates. It was too bad because we used to love this place, and were excited to bring our newly become mom friend. Oh well!

    Beautiful space, great vibe, and our sever was excellent. Apps and salad ( grilled octopus and fennel salad) were both excellent, as were our cocktails and the wine list. Only gripe was everyone in our party thought their pasta entrée was kinda meh……even understanding you always pay a bit more in NYC, just under $30 for pasta that lacks any kind of pizzaz was a bit disappointing. I love ding experiences where the food is wildly more interesting than what you could make yourself at home, and that was not the case for our entrees. Any return trip I would likely limit myself to cocktails and appetizers

    On a prix-fix menu, courses were skipped, brought out in reverse order, and cold despite a 60+ minute wait. Servers were clearly overworked and the issue was management honoring takeout orders over dine-in guests.
