I was honestly expecting a bit more out of this place considering the great reviews it has.The items on the menu are priced fairly high, but the portions are quite large to accommodate this.Overall, we ordered side soups, bread, manicotti, and spaghetti. The side soups were INCREDIBLE, and the bread paired nicely with it. The main dishes were also alright. The pasta was slightly overcooked for my personal liking, but I was unsure if I was allowed to order it this way.Service was just lacking. I understand being busy, but it was hard to ask any questions. People were seating themselves at tables that were not cleaned yet. There was a table next to us in which all people in the party had received and eaten their entire meals seemingly before one woman in the same group had received hers.I'd really love to come back and try other menu items, but I think take-out would be the best option here.Parking: We had to park two blocks away as there was no available parking close to the entrance.

A local favorite! Leo's has the best gizzards ever! They are very tender and the flavor is phenomenal. And then top it off with their spicy dip! So many other great options as well. Another favorite of mine is their fries. I can't get enough of their special seasoning! And I can never get enough of their homemade pizza. I had the garlic cheese bread for the first time on my last visit and it is another favorite now also!

The prices went up and the service was bad. The waitress walked by our table at least six times before she took our glasses for a refill. The food took forever to come out.

This place was a welcomed surprise! The food was amazing. You could tell it was homemade and made with care and pride. We saw tons of people getting food to go so you can tell the locals love this place. If you're in town give it a try!

Incredibly overpriced for less than mediocre food. First and last time I will ever go. Salad was wilted & brown, food was bland. Nearly $100 for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 1 kids meal. I ordered 2 kids meals, but the waitress somehow didn't hear me. The Alfredo had no flavour, was watered down and the portion size was very small, about the same size as the kids spaghetti & meatballs. The only thing that was actually good was the onion blossom which I would give 9/10. Everything else was 0/10.Responding to owner - now you're calling customers liars? ? honestly not surprised. The sauce WAS bland, the lettuce WAS wilted. In addition to the horrible food, the atmosphere was horrendous. Update your decor and maybe try cleaning. Bathrooms are gross, the booths had crumbs all over the seats, the walls, floor, booths, decor - its all old (and not in a charming kind of way, in a falling apart, dusty and dirty kind of way). I know in small towns people like to back locally owned, but be real with yourselves & get out of that small town mentality and go try a REAL italian restaurant that serves REAL italian food, cuz this place ain't it. This place is a joke. Alfredo from a freaking jar is 100% better than what this place serves, and that's pretty bad.
