Lechuga's Italian Restaurant

Nakia Walker

Lechuga's Italian Restaurant is a delightful gem tucked away on Colfax Ave! 🍝 I recently tried their Margherita pizza, and it was perfection - crispy crust, fresh basil, and just the right amount of cheese.

The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot for a relaxed dinner. I also indulged in their creamy fettuccine Alfredo, which was divine.

Service was friendly, though a bit slow on a busy night. Overall, it's a charming place to satisfy your Italian cravings! Will definitely be back for more... 🤌✨

We got there at 5:30 on a Saturday and ordered dinner to eat there.
We were then told the dinning room closed in 30 minutes.
The front door indicated they were open until 7pm.
Our food was brought to us in go boxes.
Both salads looked slimy and brown.
I asked for 2 new salads.
I was told by the staff that he had made the salads that morning and all the salads would look the same.
Are you kidding me…..that was my first thought. I will never go back to pay for food I had to throw away.
Staff was very rude and others were also complaining about the service. Due to the attitude of the front staff I really wasn't sure how fresh the other food was. My feeling was the workers just wanted to close and get out of there.

Walked in at 6:20pm, Thursday August 8; hours displayed were til 7pm.
Chairs were all put up, counter guy was apathetic.
We ordered and asked to sit down—before 6:30 and were told no.
They advertised open until 7pm—it would’ve taken us 15 minutes to eat their famed “cannoli”.
I’ve worked FOH & BOH at many “full service” restaurants.
Someone walks in 15 minutes before closing—you serve them IN HOUSE! We cancelled our order & walked out.
I’m sorry Lechuga didn’t want our business—or to offer us the respect of allowing us to eat in before closing!

Having left work early so as 2 stop by Lechugas 4 my usual dozen of mini hots before headed home , I'd decided 2 open the box of Freshly Made , Nice and Hot mini hots 2 dine in 4 a minute as the dining area is always clean which I attribute 2 most of their business being takeout.
While looking forward 2 the combination of sausage and hot , soft bread along with a nice slice of Jalepeno I was EXTREMELEY DISSAPOINTED !!!! That none of the 4 I'd munched down while there had only acouple EXTREMELY SMALL DICED Jalepeno slices , possibly 1 or 2 slices per mini hot !!! The same held true with the remaining 8 !!! Keep in mind that dozen of LACKING JALEPENO mini hots cost me upwards of 44 $'s !!!! Its UNFORTUNATE !!!! That a once long time ago those mini hots actually Each Contained a Nice Long Slice of Jalepeno Chili which made them simply delicious !!!!! I'll NEVER RETURN and will be sure 2 share this Ugly Experience with WHAT USED 2 BE a quality food item with many friends and co-workers .
I know that particular Friday both Josh and Enrique were working the kitchen .
