Lele's Roman is slated to open at Ace Hotel Brooklyn in May, taking over the space previously occupied by As You Are, which recently closed. Operated by LDV Hospitality, known for its acclaimed Italian restaurants, Lele's Roman will feature a menu including breakfast maritozzi and classic Roman pasta dishes. The restaurant will be spearheaded by chef Francesco Battisti, who has an impressive background with experience in luxury hotels. The design aims to merge the building's Brutalist features with a touch of nostalgic '70s Italian flair.
The new spot is now in the hands of LDV hospitality, which oversees other Italian restaurants in the city such as Nomad's Scarpetta.
Chef-driven restaurants were once the draw of earlier iteration of Ace projects. As You Are first opened with Ryan Jordan, who had worked for the Ace Hotel in Manhattan.
