Lele's Roman

Food was absolutely fantastic, fresh ingredients, entrees were super hot, straight from oven- just how I like it. We chose restaurant week menu— burrata salad with beets and blood oranges- absolutely a star, Caccio e Pepe and eggplant parm— outstanding and their desserts were light and tasty. Thank you for good quality ingredients and attention to details.

We had a great dinner tonight at Lele’s Roman. I’ve had my eye on trying it out for months, and I’m glad I did! The atmosphere was charming, decor gorgeous, service excellent, and, most importantly, the food was superb. We tried the: POLIPO E PATATE MORTADELLA E STRACCIATELLA TONNARELLI CACIO E PEPE SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA Everything was lovely. Excited to explore more of their menu next time!

This restaurant has alot of charm and if I lived nearby I'd make it a regular go to. Is it worth coming from Manhattan for? Yes and no. The happy hour is great. $10 glasses of good wine. $14 martinis. A $7 happy hour charcuterie plate was also a nice nibble with the happy hour drinks . The arugula salad was delicious as was the eggplant parmesan. Very good tiramisu. But is it on the level of the finest Italians in nyc. Not quite. It's good and I would return. But it's not Da Toscano or Via Carota. BTW the waiters are true Italians and quite charming. It's also a good pre Barclay spot.

I love this place! The staff is attentive, friendly and quick to take care of you. The pasta was delicious-fresh and creamy with crispy guancale - reminiscent of my time in Italy. I also ate breakfast here which was wonderful. The simple egg combo was the best. The potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, delicious thick cut fresh sourdough, and tasty bacon. I had the Greek yogurt another morning and that was also wonderful. The décor is fun and comfortable.

Outstanding flavors and service at this cozy new Roman restaurant by the Ace Hotel. Loved the atmosphere and interior design details. The fish was absolutely perfect with lots of flavor + the white wine as well. All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly explaining the menu options at length for the 2 out of 3 people in our party that each had different food allergies. Will absolutely return!
