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!

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.

I ordered the pork chop and I was so disappointed! It tasted like it was cooked on a George Forman grill . It was so tough and hard to cut. The couscous was half cooked. It looked & tasted like it’d been sitting on the stove all day and left to dry out! Leone’s must be under new management. Poor management. I’ve eaten here many time in the past. However, this was the worst dining experiences ever! Needless to say we won’t be back.
