This was our first visit to Leone's and it definitely will not be our last! There were many positive things that made our experience memorable: Our server, Joy, was excellent offering great recommendations, top notch service, and stayed one step ahead by anticipating our needs meaning we never had to ask for anything-she was on it! The food was delicious and beautifully plated, the menu options were great, the atmosphere was so inviting and warm, but also energetic which made us feel excited when we first walked in because we knew it was going to be a great experience! We loved our first visit to Leone's and can't wait to go back!

Unfortunately we never got a chance to eat. I made a reservation at 7 for three. We were seated as soon as we arrived however that was all that was done. We were never even asked if we wanted water. We sat at the table and waited patiently for twenty minutes during this time we watched the party at table next to us depart and the table was cleaned and a new party seated . Shortly after the party was seated the waiter took their drink order. This was when our party decided to leave. We ended up going to 443 restaurant next door who gave us outstanding service.
