Leo’s was first opened in 1948 by Italian immigrants Pantaleone (Leo) Mancieri and his wife Virginia (Nonni). Established mainly as a pizzeria in the State Street section of Bristol, the restaurant quickly gained a local following and served as a popular lunch destination for workers and families alike. Leo and Virginia, along with sons Mario and Reno, worked tirelessly to produce great fresh Italian favorites and create a friendly environment for their customers.
The original Leo’s remained open until 1976 when the family decided to close after Leo passes away, and in the year 2000 Leo’s grandson, Paul Mancieri, relocated to 365 Hope Street in the heart of historic downtown Bristol. Paul and his wife Adriana pride themselves on bringing back the spirit and the recipes of the pizzeria ran by Leo and Nonni. Welcome to Leo’s Ristorante! Enjoy our family recipes, preserved for three generations and plated with care and love by Paul, Adriana and their staff.

Review summary

Leo's Ristorante, a staple in historic Bristol, RI, is celebrated for its "great pasta and seafood" and "excellent pizza." The atmosphere is inviting, with friendly and attentive staff. While service can occasionally be inconsistent, the delicious food, especially the "crispy and flavorful chicken Parmesan," keeps patrons coming back.

    Second time there. Drove over an hour and it’s worth it. Cozy vibe, good food, old school ambiance, excellent service.

    It was very disappointing. My husband ordered veal brachiole. Which is rolled with cheese or a different meat. His came as a round looking meatball with nothing inside. I ordered the Lobster special with angel hair pasta and shrimp. The lobster was rubbery and only 3 shrimp. My husband also ordered a dry martini with the house vodka. They billed us for Grey Goose. The service was under par. The gentleman who was our server was never around. We asked for bread when we first sat down. He said it takes awhile. Ok I get that. By the time our meals came after the appetizers. I asked for bread again. He said I guess I can bring you some slices. He never brought the grated cheese we asked for. Our glasses of wine never came. My husband had to go and get our wine and the cheese after 20 mins. The experience at Leo’s was just disappointing. We will not be going back.

    Nothing special. Every meal at our table for 7 was average at best. Very small drink portions. Likely Not to return.
