Beautiful interior, super friendly staff, and top-notch service!!
And the food… oh my gosh, it’s insanely delicious!! The portions are huge too!
I had the seafood pasta, fried calamari, and a couple of other appetizers — everything was absolutely perfect!

Our experience at Leuca was amazing!!! Chef Rico was so attentive and gracious and made our evening spectacular. Our server Ryan was awesome as well!! Everything from the ricotta dip, fried calamari, the pizza and the chef’s special celery root tortellini was all outstanding!

Very good restaurant. Excellent service, tasty food and a ok drinks. Pasta with veal and mushrooms was delicious and tonno crudo was appetizing. After dinner at Leuca I recommend going to the roof top, to get a drink on the terrace with splendid view 😊

Decent food. It wasn’t like the best Italian food I have ever had but it was good. Branzino was cooked perfectly. Steak was decent quality, but not worth the price tag. Pasta was also decent. Enjoyed the fried calamari and grilled octopus. Pistachio cake was meh, but the olive oil ice cream was tasty. The blood orange sorbet was refreshing. Great ambiance. Amazing decor (just not sure about the pictures of kids on the wall; didn’t see the connection. It was weird). Service was excellent. I would try again. A bit pricey for what it is but expected.

We had a great experience at Leuca. The staff were very accommodating, even with us having our baby with us, which we really appreciated. One of the pasta dishes came out a bit too spicy at first, but they were quick to remake it without any fuss. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was delicious overall. Would definitely come back!

Came here for dinner the other day with friends and loved it! We tried a few things - the honey ricotta, fennel salad, tomato and watermelon salad, margherita pizza, and black shells with calamari. The ricotta was great and paired incredibly well with the sesame/olive oily toasted bread. Loved how refreshing the tomato and watermelon salad was and loved the apples in the fennel salad. The wood-fired pizza was good though I'm curious about some of the other flavors. AND, I was a big fan of the black shells - the seafood was cooked perfectly! The patio and outdoor seating are lovely though I will say you'll hear the noises of Williamsburg and many a crowd passing through to get to Westlight presumably. The one tiny issue was the bug bites I acquired but I'm fairly sure that's a me problem...Service was timely and great! For dessert, we tried both the gelato sandwich and the pistachio cake with gelato (topped with olive oil) and the cake was definitely my favorite. The sandwich was good though the laminated/croissant-like dough was a little tough to cut through once a little cooler so maybe less of a shareable item and a good solo sweet instead?

Hidden gem inside The William Vale! Leuca has a great vibe, friendly staff, and truly standout pasta. We tried the lamb bolognese and black shell pasta with shrimp and calamari—both were phenomenal and reminded us of meals we had in Italy. Portions are generous, so I’d definitely recommend sharing.

Did not refund the lasagna despite one waiter saying yes and another the final saying no Only one of two deserts put in the to go order
We had the profound honor of celebrating my wife's parents' 40th wedding anniversary at Leuca, and the evening was more perfect than we could have ever imagined. The entire staff treated our celebration with such genuine care and warmth. They truly understand hospitality and made everyone, especially the guests of honor, feel so special.
This sense of dedication extended from the front of house straight to the kitchen, where Master Chef Anthony crafted a meal that was truly celebratory. His food is not only technically brilliant but also full of heart, an exquisite match for such a joyous occasion. Each bite felt like a tribute to tradition, freshness, and culinary passion.
We are so deeply grateful to Chef Anthony and the entire Leuca team for providing the beautiful setting and phenomenal meal that helped us honor this incredible milestone. Thank you for helping us create a cherished family memory. We couldn't have asked for more.

Family friendly place. Chicken Rosalina and Sheep's Milk Ricotta are my favorite. Garlic and honey on Sheep's Milk Ricotta was amazing. Waiters were friendly
Thank you to Nicole, Miguel, MD, and the rest of the staff for taking such great care of us! The food was delicious and we had an incredible time.
