Lena's Italian Kitchen (UES)B+

1167 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10065 · Italian restaurant, Delivery Restaurant, Restaurant · Upper East Side

Generous, tasty Italian-American takeout with fast delivery and loyal regulars; value is good for portions though a few items feel pricey and quality can occasionally wobble.

The verdict

Lena's Italian Kitchen delivers reliable Italian-American comfort through solid food quality and exceptional speed—hot arrivals and quick prep are hallmarks. Consistency shows occasional slips (burnt items, wrong orders), and the no-frills counter format limits ambiance appeal, preventing grade A territory. Strong loyal customer base and fair portions make it a dependable neighborhood takeout choice, though not a destination.

One caveat: Pricing surprises: chicken parm entree did not include pasta for one reviewer
