Leena's Kitchen

Leena’s Kitchen is a newly opened “farm to table” restaurant in Plymouth, MA. We recently joined Lisa Marsh, wife of Dr. Marsh (chemistry teacher at NHS) and assistant general manager, for an interview to get to know what Leena’s is all about. As a bit of background, Leena was Lisa’s grandmother who came to the U.S. from Italy to make a better life for her children.
