Lele's Roman

Inspired by the lively neighborhood of Trastevere, Lele’s Roman brings a fresh take on Roman cuisine to Brooklyn's Boerum Hill neighborhood. Led by chef Francesco Battisti, the menu stays true to tradition, from beloved breakfast maritozzi to an all-day selection of Roman classics like amatriciana, cacio e pepe, puntarelle, and carciofi, alongside a selection of shareable pinsas. The beverage program celebrates Italian classics, featuring a robust amaro selection and a thoughtfully curated list of Laziale and regional Italian wines by LDV’s Alessio de Sensi. Designed by Whitley Esteban and Ernesto Gloria of Studio Tre, the space blends the brutalist character of the building with a touch of '70s Italian funk, setting the stage for a love letter to Rome, the city of LDV’s namesake, la dolce vita.
