This has become our favourite local Italian and we keep coming back for some more. The service is amazing with both the owner and the staff engaging and making us feel welcome you feel really welcome. The pizzas are the best I've eaten out of Italy and the pasta feels a treat, not too salty like you normally find when eating out. Quality ingredients in generous amount, very well priced, as well as the wine, always served at the right temperature. Well done, keep up the good work, we love visiting your establishment!

We were on a vacation trip to London and were looking for a family friendly restaurant with great food without breaking the bank. We found it! Great food and even better service, what else can you wish for! An absolute recommendation, we even went there twice.

I have eaten at Lena's twice now and on both occasions have been immensely impressed by the food and service. The staff are very friendly, even when the restaurant is busy they take the time to ensure all diners are happy. The food. WOW. I have had the seafood linguine and it's one of the most authentic I have tasted especially in London. My girlfriend (who is Italian) believes it to be one of the best Italian meals she's had in the city. Affordable and delicious, Lena's delivers quality every time. Battersea is lucky to have it.

I’ve lived in Battersea for years, only to see this restaurant change hands frequently. I had been passing Lenas for a while, not really being interested in going in as the previous owners food I wasn’t so keen on. Me and my mum thought we would just give it a go - I’m really glad I did. We were warmly greeted by the owner and one of his friends, who were sat having lunch. We had a nice little table in the corner of the restaurant not too far from the pizza oven, that was spectacular to look at, and super warm to be sat not too far from. We ordered a few things, and it’s safe to say I was very skeptical, as this little restaurant has changed hands so many times. Me and my mum had the Burratta, garlic bread, dough balls with garlic butter, scallops and some extra bread. The food was FANTASTIC. It was fresh, high quality food. I can not fault Lenas on there food. The atmosphere was warm, and it was lovely to get to know Andy and his team. I wish nothing but the best for Lenas and i highly recommend anyone living in the Battersea area to head over to Lenas.

I recently held my daughter's first birthday lunch at Lena's and what can I say, Andrew and the team are amazing! Nothing is too much trouble and they done their very best to ensure the timings, food and service was outstanding! Fresh pasta, fresh dough, great food and lovely welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely recommend, the tuna pizza is my favourite!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is our second time eating at Lenas and already can’t wait to go again! Bruschetta and calamari/zucchini to start was fantastic. Andy the owner let us try the scallops and they were beautiful - fresh from the fish monger that day! The pizza and quality of the dough here is what makes this place so unique. The dough was prepared that day and we watched as our food was made and cooked in the pizza oven. The calzone is still, in my humble opinion, the best I have had in London! The dough is so tasty and cooked perfectly that it is like eating in Italy 🇮🇹 My wife had the mushroom risotto which was delicious. It is evident that Andy (the owner) and Chris (the Pizza chef) care about the quality of food and service. This is quickly becoming a firm favourite with affordable prices and can’t wait to see what the new refurb will bring!

Where do I start? Lena's is absolutely fantastic! The owner was so friendly and attentive, greeting us like old friends and chatting with us. The food was some of the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy, went two nights in a row because we enjoyed it so much. I can not recommend Lena's enough, friendly, delicious and affordable; what else do you need? We will be returning here many more times.

Fantastic atmosphere and excellent food. We tend to frequent a lot of Italian restaurants as a family and this has got to be the one of the best we have been to. The calzone in particular was beautiful. If you’re looking for a warm, friendly atmosphere that does excellent food - look no further. Definitely will be going back!
