Had supper upstairs sat night, ordered a burger done med. It came out so well done it was hard to chew . Mentioned this to the server and she just said I'll take a couple of bucks off, and walked off. My wife ordered a chicken sandwich no bun, it came with a bun. They did have a big group there but other than that not busy bad service

My family ordered chicken parm, chicken pesto Alfredo, mozzarella sticks, and spinach dip. Genuinely some of the BEST Italian food I’ve had in a while. So freaking good. The sauce did not taste canned, the chicken was extremely tender, and noodles were cooked just right to me. We will be back.

Very disappointed by the food. We were excited to visit since we'd heard such good things but I couldn't finish my dish. The sauce tasted of sour milk. The waitress was very sweet but it took 30+ minutes to get our food and tables seated after us got food before us. I can see why its a charming little place but we won't return.

In response to management- I ordered the Alfredo and my coworker the pasta bread bowl. I didnt tell the waitress about my food because I could see she wasn't having a great shift. She accidentally spilled ranch an herself and I held the tray for her and gave her my napkin while she cleaned up. The receipt machine kept jamming on her as well. I didnt want to make her night worse by sending back my dish so I told her I was full, paid and left. The only negative of my visit was the food and wait time which felt longer than necessary given what we had ordered and what was coming out before our food.

Ali is the best waitress. Always has the best service.

Great place for some yummy food, plus the lounge upstairs is a nice place for a drink and to hear some live music!

Spaghetti and meatballs, with plan tomato sauce, same sauce used on the Ravioli, Meatballs and Ravioli were good but how about some flavor in the sauce. Who doesn't offer garlic bread/toast with pasta? The plain homemade bread was good but! It is an Italian restaurant after all, good thing we had stuff at home to fix the taste. Definitely not what I remember it tasting like before.
Fish bites and chips with a cup of coleslaw, ok.
Was going to try a pizza on Saturday but kinda scared to,, afraid it won't taste like the families history as been.
Maybe the next trip home.
Stopped back today, went with pizza and Fish n chips special along with a loaf of homemade Italian bread.
We will be back again, love the pizza and my daughter loves your bread!

Im visiting the area and this was my first time at Leo’s, as a manager in food service I was extremely disappointed. You CANNOT serve a 15 dollar pasta bread bowl that’s visibly burnt, rock solid on the outside, and still managed to taste undercooked on the inside. There is absolutely no reason for items that I would never send out my drive thru window to even leave the kitchen in a restaurant charging triple the amount. If it looks burnt and it’s hard, it’s garbage.

We got there before 5 got sat down waited a good 10 min for our waitress. She got our drink order and brought our drinks back. We was not ready for our order just yet she said she would give us a few minutes. Except everyone after us already ordered and was getting their salads and bread and 15 min go by we are still waiting to order. They had no chicken Alfredo for kids which is what our one daughter loves. No lid or kid cups. Still everyone after us eating. We get our food an hour after we got sat down. The server was sweet but not on top of it. Just seemed like we were forgotten about. Took way too long and wasn’t worth the wait!!! This was our first time visiting. And probably our last!

Great food every time! They were very busy tonight but we were seated as soon as a table opened up.

Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs and the atmosphere is good for kids.
