   Leonessa is a pure pleasure, start to finish. Love the complimentary valet parking. Love the ambiance. Service is top notch. The meal was beautifully paced - we were given plenty of time to browse the menu and enjoy an aperitif. The courses were perfectly timed with space in between. No one tried to clear our plates until everyone was finished - hallelujah!! And of course, the food was outstanding. I ordered the risotto with short rib and was so impressed and excited that it included a section of bone with marrow!! What a rare treat. Can’t wait to return!!

   The food was absolutely amazing and our waitress knowledge about wine made our dinner experience delicious. The only thing that we would prefer is better seating just on top of people but we made the best of it being our first time there.

   Food is exceptional, flavor combinations overall and precise cooking especially for rare steak. Ambiance is cozy and staff make you feel like their only special guest.

   This our second experience here. We really enjoyed our first visit. This time the food was excessively salty. The tapenade served with the tasty bread burned our lips from the salt. The salt in the clams also detracted. The house salad was generous and tasty. The chick under the brick was moist.

   Our server Katherine is excellent. Attentive but not too much. Our third visit in past two months. Excellent.

   What an enjoyable dining experience! As always the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Outstanding dishes included the Octopus Carpaccio, Fried Rock Shrimp and the Lobster Garganelli. Our server Liam was professional and engaging. The setting and the music make for a cozy feeling.

    Food was very good, a great value. I told them in my reservation and when we checked in that we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. They sat us next the restrooms and never acknowledged our event. The table next to us got a birthday cake. I guess some people get special treatment and others get the restroom. If you want good food and don’t care how you’re treated, this is the place.

    Hi James, I am so sorry that your special day was not appropriately recognized- we could have adjusted your seating and we communicate to staff when special occasion guests arrive so we apologize for the miscommunication. We hope you consider a return visit.
