This place is completely hit or miss.
1st experience: It was summer, the large windows were open letting in sunshine and nice breeze– I had a lunch date & ordered a small plate & a drink– it was really good.
2nd, 3rd, 4th experience: Fall/​Winter times. The menu changed– for the worse. The employees changed as well. Most of the new servers are soooooo awkward. One lady couldn’t make eye contact with me (??), so stared my friend down the entire shpeal about the specials– like as if I was invisible. Also, the restaurant stopped allowing substitutions– which doesn’t accomodate well to people with dietary restrictions or allergies. I had a friend dining with me that asked if he can order spaghetti and tomato sauce (he’s vegetarian) — and the server said they can’t do that. She could only provide a side of tomato sauce. Really? An italian place can’t just boil some spaghetti and put tomato sauce on it? WEIRD.
They do have good espresso though! LOL. I’ll only keep coming back because it’s the closest Italian place near my jogging spot, Prospect park.

I had come here on a build your own pizza day. I wasn’t in the mood for this but due to there limited menu choices felt pushed like I had to get the pizza. Wasn’t pleased with it at all. I really wanted to like this place. It has a comfy relaxing vibe to it. But need more food choices.

I haven’t understood the hype and tonight’s take-​out just underscored my utter disappointment in this restaurant. We ordered two pizzas. The margarita was good but the calabrese was so salty it was as if someone emptied a salt shaker on the pizza. They charged $ 7 for a salad that was just a pile of field greens. Ridiculous! Even worse was the arugula salad which was inedible. The pasta dish (giant penne with short ribs and squash) was good but lacking in any subtlety. Oh and they forgot my drink and when I called they gave me a credit for twice the amount because it was easier than refunding my card. The chances of my going back are pretty slim.

We were actually heading to another place down the street and saw this place, and it looked great. We were very happy with the staff, and the vibe. The food looked good and prices were not too unreasonable. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre or even slightly disappointing. We wouldn’t go back just because of the food quality. We left feeling unsatisfied.

Always admire this place from a distance and finally went in for brunch. The food is soooo good. Must try the pizza, especially the breakfast pizza. Their coffee and teas are pretty good. Must try the sweet potato mash, it was different and yummy.
It’s a cute comfy place, the only thing o would add– if you have a party of 4 or more, try making reservations or you’ll be waiting about 15 – 20 mins for a table.

Definitely a fan. Also depending on my mood.
I love Lea’s because they have a very limited menu. I get flustered when there is too much to choose from.
The first time we went there, I went with with my husband. It was wonderful. We ordered Iced Coffee, Cortelyou Mezze which consists of A platter of small plates including eggs any style, roasted potato, eggplant, fennel salad, grated cherry tomatoes and toast and the Challa French Toast. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. From taste to texture — pure perfection.
Service was great too, we didn’t wait for a table nor did we have to wait to be served. The wait staff are always on their toes ready to help.
We did call a few weeks later to get some take out and were truly disappointed. They packed the food in brown paper boxes, so by the time it came home to us it was an absolute mess. (So never again). But I think they have since implemented that they will not deliver certain dishes. And I agree with that.
A couple of days ago I went for lunch with a friend. We ordered some coffee, Grilled Polenta & Eggs which are Soaked in tomato sauce, topped with two sunny-​side eggs and grated pecorino cheese and Rigatoni — Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, basil and Parmesan cheese.
Aside for the Rigatoni being a little under cooked (Hard, chewy and definitely not Al dente) everything else was great. The spices in the tomato sauce were superb. Spicy and peppery tinge to the finish).
The Grilled Polenta was also tasty, perfectly cooked eggs on top.
Overall — I definitely recommend Leas as a Brunch/​Lunch spot. I have yet to try them for dinner although I don’t think they would disappoint.

This place is super cute !! They have a really awesome lunch menu, from breakfast — eggs and such to delicious pastas. The juice is all freshly squeezed and tastes amazing!

Nice décor and good service. I really wanted to like Lea. It’s located in my neighborhood. But I won’t go back. We order two pizzas and one pasta. Normally I can handle salty food because I’m Asian. But One of pizzas and the pasta what we ordered were too salty!

Worst place ever to order food from u order a mini pizza which is always cold when you get your delivery they never have change and last time my mom ordered from them the bill was $ 15 and the guy still took $ 5 for himself as a tip and didn’t even have change to give back and as a result my mom called them and they blacklisted her from ordering from them and said the only way to serve her is if she comes in person but i wont ever order from them ever again

Everything I had there was really good. If you know what real Italian is, like Italy Italian, then you’re going to really like it.
Definitely start with a cocktail and end with a cannoli!

This restaurant/​Bar is located on Cortelyou, and there are many places around it, some are good, some are not that good. After visiting another bar that doesn’t offer food, we decided to stop at Lea for very late dinner (Alcohol tend to do that to people;) They had a very minimal menu, and the main included 4 kinds of pasta, and 4 kinds of Pizza. We ordered 2 different types of Pizza, and I want to tell you that I am not sure if it is the amount of Alcohol, or the Pizza itself, but thee Pizza was no less than amazing. I ate mine, and third of my friend’s Pizza, and if not the late hour, I could go on and on with the Pizza.
I kind of disappointed from the short menu, but if the food they make is as good as the Pizza, I don’t care if they will narrow the menu to just one option. We also had 3 cocktails that were very good, and together with the Pizza, I just know they will see me here again soon. I just need to get to BK.

Come here for the drinks and the pizza, avoid everything else.
I cannot say how good their pizza is. I can be a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to pies, but I like this new bread of «fancy pie» that’s been sweeping through Brooklyn, I’m looking at you Paulie Gee and Wheated. And the bar, very solid. That said, avoid every other menu item.
The brunch is basically an exercise in, «how much can we charge for eggs and the scraps from last night.» This problem is not unique to Lea, but it’s worth identifying. Also most of their pasta dishes show a lack of confidence in the chef. Every dish is perfect, but it has just one or two ingredients too many. Why did that pasta dish need nuts on top of everything else?
Maybe I just prefer a simpler style, but whenever I see chefs overburdening perfectly good dishes with too many ingredients it always screams to me of a lack of confidence. This isn’t to say the pasta dishes are bad, they are expertly prepared; they are just pretensions.
Stick to the pies.

We stumbled upon Lea the other night for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. Let’s see. What did we like? Enthusiastic about interesting cocktails. Small Italian wine list that should satisfy everyone. Great small plates: octopus. Eggplant crostini. We didn’t have any of the pasta but did have their pizza. All charred and bubbly crust. We did the sausage and kale so it was healthy and not-​healthy at the same time.

Left very much to be desired, disappointing since I had so much hope for making this a local «go to» for a decent pasta dish.
I had the bucatini with octopus. I generally love octopus and didn’t think there are too many ways to screw it up short of over cooking/​undercooking it. This dish ruined octopus for me. It was overwhelmingly fishy and overly acidic and pasty from the tomato sauce. The bucatini was cooked just fine and would have been infinitely better without the offensive sauce and just some butter and garlic.
Hubby went with the pasta as well, I think rigatoni, with short rib and kale. I have never seen kale such a dull, over boiled swamp green color. Nor have I seen short rib that looked and tasted like boiled meat. Short rib is a «can’t go wrong» for my dear husband, well here it did… Very very wrong. Setting appearances aside, it tasty gamey, dull and boring. He left most of it and out of hunger I kind of just picked at it till it was gone, cringing with every bite.
We got the marguerita pizza as well, and have no serious complaints about it, would have been the safer better choice for a meal.
We didn’t send anything back as we decided this will be a lesson for us and we won’t be back in the future. From a service and ambiance standpoint, I wish there was attention to little details. I wish the server offered pepper or grated cheese for our dishes, I wish they weren’t so curt when they notices our small children, I wish the chairs outside were sturdier and didn’t make us feel like we would collapse through them in a second.
I thoroughly hope they get themselves together in the future because I have so much hope for this fantastic little strip they are located on.

A friend and I came here for brunch. The atmosphere at Lea is nice. Décor is cool. Both of us had the breakfast sandwich which we enjoyed very much. We also ordered the Sfingi which is described as Italian doughnuts served with honey and sour cream. The doughnuts were warm and fresh but my gosh, were they salty! Every time we had a bite we had to wash off the salty aftertaste with a glass of water. Reading the other reviews, seems like they def. have some salt issue going on over here.
Our server was really sweet and nice. I’d come back here for the breakfast sandwich.

After monstrous commutes all over the city in a perpetual sweat bath, I really wanted to find a place to dine with outdoor seating that didn’t face an industrial garbage bin and/​or a stream of foot traffic. My friends recommended meeting on Cortelyou to try out Lea. Seeing its fortress of wood from afar made me sigh with relief. Lea, my sanctuary… let the refuel begin! Loved the thin crust pizza with fennel, ricotta and scallion. I coupled that with the string bean salad tossed with bread crumbs, pecorino and red onion. As the sun set and the breeze picked up, I sat in my little sweat puddle happily chowing and chatting thinking that I was no longer in the city limits. It gives off the atmosphere of a place you would find in an artsy part of upstate NY. What brings you back to reality is ye olde Coney Island Avenue to the left. Just keep looking to the right and keep the pizza coming…

Ordered: Sfingi and Lea’s breakfast
Pros – The sfingi were light and fresh and went perfectly with the honey and crème fraîche.
Cons – Lea’s breakfast was good, but nothing special. It was the standard omelet.

I came here last night for a girls night out with my family. The pasta here is absolutely delicious.
Garden salad is fairly large, and simple. Highly recommend ordering one before your meal with drinks, and one with your pasta (if you are with a group of people sharing).
Cannolis are divine! Such an immense amount of flavor. My great grandmother from Naples once told me, «as much as you would like to, you can never make an authentic cannoli. It’s not the same here in America.» If you tried this one, perhaps this would be sufficient for America. Best I’ve ever had.
Wine list, and beers are great.
Real shaved Parmesan is a huge plus!
Service was nice. You can tell they get very busy and preoccupied. They have a bus boy that is always on point. We always feel like he is one of the servers. My family and I always notice this. We should get his name so we can put it on Unilocal.
I would rate this restaurant five stars, but based on price I am a little taken back. The food is worth the cost, but prices could be a tad more affordable so j could dine here more often. I understand the rent is high.

Came here on Sunday for Brunch. We were seated immediately which is great because I was starving lol.
My date & I ordered the «Margherita» pizza and it was delicious. I’m pizza lover & I was happy camper. We had orange juice which was sweet and fresh.
For desert sorta say we had Italian doughnuts with Apple syrup and crème fraîche. I wished they put the apple syrup and crème fraîche in separate small bowl. But it was good, no complaints.
Nice ambiance & 5 min drive from where I live, perfect !
