Leopardi's Italian Restaurant

I was apprehensive when I read the negative reviews but now I can honestly say that everything was fabulous. Great service. Delicious food. Large portions. And spend the extra $3 and opt for the lobster bisque. Believe me, it's as good as my husband's without the prep. I had a piece of lobster in every spoonful. So don't fear, definitely come and come hungry! And park as close as you can because the walk to your car on a full pasta belly was grueling.

We went for my mom's birthday and it was superb. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was real Italian, which is rare, and while not the fastest to the table the wait was worth every mouthwatering morsel.

We ate here a month ago and the food was absolutely fantastic. Our waitstaff were helpful. Our waiter brought us delicious bread with dipping choices. Everything came to us at a perfect pace and the restaurant was full. It would be best to make a reservation however we did not have a reservation and we're told it would be 45 minutes to an hour. We waited and were so happy we did. We got a table within 30 minutes and the wait was well worth it. Everything was absolutely delicious.

Was the best Italian restaurant experience my fiance and I have had so far here in SWFL. Service was very pleasant and the food was served in a timely matter. The meal was top notch with nice portion sizes. The ambience was welcoming and informally elegant. The desserts are beautiful and decadent as well. Over all this was an excellent experience and would highly recommend for date night, because the dishes aren't too pricey.

Great food and terific value. We all had different meal choices. Everyone thought their choice was outstanding.

Just left Leopardi's. 2/22/20, 8:05 pm. We are VIP members. Joined the first time we ate there as the food was very authentic (we're both Italian). However, it was extremely loud, as they have a cement floor and all hard surfaces. They said at the time that they were "working on it." That was not long after they opened. Well, NOTHING has been done about the noise. IT WAS HORRIBLE TONIGHT!! There was a group of 4 or 5 couples around the corner from us. The men were SO LOUD that other tables were looking over at them. Our server, Brittany (who was wonderful!) relayed our concern to a mgr, but nothing changed. At one point another mgr came by asking about our meal. Told her the food and service was great, but the extreme noise level, especially with the loud table by us, was enough to keep us from coming back. They still did nothing about the obnoxiously loud group. My elderly mother had to turn her hearing aids way down, and I stuck pieces of my paper napkin in my ears! My husband just gritted his teeth. He almost went over to the other table himself, but didn't want to cause a scene. The restaurant is big enough -- maybe large, noisy groups should all be seated in one room, AWAY from couples and 4 tops.
