About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for groups
Romantic

Legno offers a wide selection of regional Italian entrees from small plates & wood burning Neapolitan pizzas to homemade pastas & an extensive beer & wine list that features vino from across the World, expanding far & beyond their roots in Italy.

From steaks, chops and creative daily specials, Legno is sure to satisfy your senses.

Our interior design reflects the significance of the word, ‘legno’, pronounced (LEH-nyoh), which means ‘wood’ in the Italian language. A perfect mix of blended wood tones, exposed red brick & warm glow from the blaze of our wood fired oven creates a cozy & inviting ambiance. Staying true to our roots, we capture the traditionally inspired & impeccable fresh tastes of the Old World cuisine with a contemporary twist.

Mothers Day brunch. You can tell they were a little behind. I understand Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year. But the food all tastes delicious. Worth the wait.

We went for Mother’s Day brunch, but nothing on their site referenced the restaurant is separated into two different spaces. Legno and Biagio. So we didn’t get brunch just breakfast. Menu was good but limited. We were just overall disappointed based on not getting brunch. Recommend the restaurant though normal food is good, good parking, clean space.

Not too many Italian-centric menu items for brunch. Nothing special so we were a little bit non-plussed with what we ordered which also took a long time to wait.

We came here for Easter brunch. There were plenty of tables available when we got there but by the time we left things were filling up. The menu was perfect, with both breakfast and lunch options. The nutella french toast was decadent, my tuscan breakfast sandwich is extremely fresh and flavorful. Our experience was great overall.

we took the kids our for a casual dinner. While their meal came out promptly we had to wait an hour for a steak and a Caesar salad. We were the only party at the restaurant at that time.
