   Incredible food and service. Noise is high with so many tables packed into a small space, not necessarily a problem just something to note it’s not a quiet restaurant. Overall an amazing experience can’t wait to return and try more entrees, the steak au poivre was one of the most incredible meals I’ve ever had.

   We came for our Anniversary and enjoyed a wonderful dinner, bottle of wine, and delicious dessert. Mt wife enjoyed the haddock and I the veal Milanese. We had the Affogato for dessert, simple but delicious as well. Our meals were prepared and presented nicely and had excellent flavors. The service was also excellent and server made the most of our evening with her friendly service and astute recommendations.

   We were given a recommendation to try Leonessa and we were so glad we did! The service, the food and the atmosphere were all spot on. We had oysters to start and then the veal Milanese and the chicken for our mains. Delicious!! We also loved the wines by the glass. The only thing that underwhelmed us was the dessert (blueberry cheesecake) just not as good as the rest of the meal. After dinner Zack offered to show us around the restaurant and that was a lovely touch! We will most certainly be back!

   We are regulars and have always had a wonderful meal. Something was off last night. The blue fin tuna tartare was good, but very spicy. The veal meatballs were not cooked through; we sent them back and a new batch returned the same way. The spaghetti in the vongole was not cooked enough and the dish was incredibly spiced. We will return again to what has always been an exceptional restaurant and hope this was an aberration.
