Well prepared, thoughtful, interestingly tweaked and wide-ranging dishes. Polite and (not overly) attentive service. Can't wait for warmer weather sitting outside over the waterfalls.

Visited Il Leone for first time on Valentine's Day. They have a large and diverse menu which was nice to see, especially when many restaurants offer prix fixe menu only. For appetizers we had the baked clams and escargot which were tasty but small portions. For entree, my wife had Coq au vin which she greatly enjoyed. I had the Cavatelli with Broccoli rabe and Sausage which was also good. An enjoyable experience. Look forward to trying other offerings on the menu.

Loved the restaurant for dinner.. perfect setting and food was very good. Went back next day for lunch. I would stick to dinner. Lunch options were not plentiful and the price was quite high for lunch. Would absolutely go back again for dinner.

We had the best night out. The food and service was excellent, we enjoyed everything we ordered and the staff was very friendly. The performance that we got to enjoy by Yan on the piano was amazing, we felt like we were out at a concert. Thank you to all for a very memorable night.

We celebrated a birthday dinner at II Leone on a Thursday night in January. The atmosphere was warm and the piano entertainment was a surprise bonus. Our waiter Michael was wonderful. The perfect balance of being attentive but not annoying. Our appetizers and dinners were delicious. Entrees were a bit pricey but generous portions. The chocolate cake was decadent and was served with a birthday candle!

I've been to many Italian restaurants in the U.S., Europe, and LATAM, and I think I found my favorite just down the road from my house in Greenwich, CT. The service was amazing thanks to our server Michael and the Manager. The food was delicious. I had the Penne a la Vodka with sausage and it was by far the best Penne a la Vodka I've ever had given the delicious sauce, sausage, and al dente pasta. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse cake. To top it off, the live music provided some great ambience. They have an outside patio overlooking the river and waterfall, which must be great when it gets warmer. I'll definitely be back.

I have dined here a few times, and the food and service have always been outstanding. The piano playing in the bar area is a nice vibe. Valet parking makes it easy to access restaurant.

This was our first time at Il Leone. It was fantastic! The clams we unbelievable, the veal was delicate and the atmosphere was special. We felt like we were at a private club! Well done!

The noise level was too loud for me. Last week we ate at the same table it was a different piano player and the noise level was fine that evening. but last night I don't know if it was the piano player was louder or their were more people in the restaurant

We went to IlLeone for the first time for thanksgiving. they had a wonderful pre-fixe menus in addition to their regular menu. The staff was very attentive and met our needs before we had to ask. they even had the valet pull our car round before we walked to the stand. There is a beautiful waterfall that would be great to sit outside in warmer weather to enjoy. Can't wait to go back!!

Absolute perfect night! Warm and welcoming valet and hostess., bartender was attentive and made a delicious Martini, crab meat, Bronzino, and pork chop so delicious..!!!! Live music and terrific service:)

Overall positive experience especially due to waiter and Maitre d'. However, one guest ordered the special and had to send it back twice. When the special is so poorly executed, it's time the chef is replaced. That said, the waiter was terrific and Mario made our experience overlook the chef's shortcoming. Also the atmosphere was great. We'll be back!

Always outstanding, from delicious food to cocktails and great service. Live music adds for a perfect dinner. I bounce around between the specials and the dinner menu. Never go wrong.
