About

Leuca is a big Italian restaurant, run by a famous chef, located on the ground floor of a very modern Williamsburg hotel that looks a bit like a space station, and you can think about this restaurant in one of two ways. The first way is to think of it as just that: a big Italian restaurant, run by a guy who has a bunch of popular places in Manhattan, in a building that looks like it belongs in Midtown or Chelsea.
If you come into Leuca this way, you’ll end up disappointed. You’ll be disappointed that the food isn’t as good as some of Andrew Carmellini’s other restaurants like Locanda Verde or Lafayette. You might be disappointed to see that this particular strip of Williamsburg is starting to look like a little bit like some grayer version of Miami Beach or Dubai, and that the people who move here after college now are investment bankers who like EDM festivals.
Or, you can look at Leuca a different way: as a totally fine hotel restaurant. The pizzas and salads here are solid, there are big comfortable booths, the servers are nice, the wine list is great, and you can probably get a table for eight later this week. The food won’t blow you away, but it also won’t make you go home angry. If we got invited to a big group dinner here and didn’t come in with any expectations, we’d probably go home not-upset.
