    Such a lovely experience! From the moment we walked in the restaurant and were escorted to our table, we felt that we were going have a great time. Camila, our server, was friendly, professional and very personable. She brought a bread plate that included a rosemary brioche and a toasted bread with olive tapenade and salted butter.My husband and I shared the beef tartare and the prosciutto . Beautifully presented and delicious! Our entrees were a short rib Milanese with risotto and a crispy haddock. Again, wonderful presentation and flavorful. We shared cannolis for dessert. We cannot stop talking about our dinner. We would come here from the east end of Long Island just to eat here again! Do not hesitate to come here. You will be happy that you did!

    "Leonessa" has stolen my foodie heart! From the moment you are welcomed, there is an authentic feeling that the staff is genuinely delighted to see you. I was treating a dear friend for her belated birthday and they honored every moment of her being a guest. We enjoyed unique cocktails while slurping our cold, crisp Wellfleet oyster appetizer. Our waitperson, was outstandingly knowledgeable with her recommendations and pairing of wine with our main course, which was the special of the evening. While the restaurant was busy on this Friday night, we enjoyed our conversation and the perfectly timed delivery of the meal...never feeling rushed and never feeling ignored. What a special evening! This is the place one should go when your palate is calling out for a unique, farm fresh, nourishing meal highlighted by a very cool and positive vibe. Bon Appetit! Thank you Leonessa!

    Food was dissapointing. Based on the reviews and the prices was expecting the food to be higher quality. Couple months ago went to the Old Yarmouth Inn and that food was much much better than this. We were celebrating a special birthday, so was even more let down.
