THE FOOD
🥖 Bread Service: The bread arrived with a tasty honey, chive, thyme, salt, and pepper butter, which was a nice touch.

🦪 Kumamoto Oysters: Ice cold and refreshing. They were complemented with cocktail sauce, watermelon mignonette, and fresh grated horseradish.

🦀 Crab Salad Special: Served in a martini glass. It featured cold, chilled crab marinated with tequila, triple sec, and lime, carefully laid on a bed of avocado mousse with an Old Bay-lined rim. Delicious and refreshing during a hot summer evening.

🥗 Tri-Color Beet Salad: A roasted beet and citrus salad with whipped ricotta and a pistachio honey vinaigrette that provided rich bites.

🥩 New York Strip: Sourced from Allen Brothers in Chicago. A showstopper with excellent crust and beef flavor. We ordered the Au Poivre sauce, which was tasty, but the steak was so good on its own that I ended up using the sauce for my sides!

🥩 14 oz Center Cut Filet: Also sourced from Allen Brothers. Tender as expected with a wonderfully executed crust.

🍷 French Bordeaux Wines: We ordered the Chateau Loudenne Medoc and the Chateau De Sales Pomerol. Both were tasty, medium-to-full-bodied, and served as excellent accompaniments to the steaks.

🐟 Tuna Special: Nicely seared tuna served over vegetables and udon noodles.

🍋 Limoncello Pistachio Tiramisu: Very light and a nice end to the meal.

🍰 Kentucky Butter Cake: Served in a cast-iron pot with vanilla ice cream. Yummy and rich.

THE SERVICE
⭐ Our server, Gene, has been with the restaurant for 8 years and provided exceptional service. He was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations, pointing out standout options like the pastrami-dusted bone-in filet and the 45-day aged tomahawk topped with a root beer bourbon bacon compound butter.

OVERALL
A great steakhouse experience with a highly professional staff and a kitchen that flawlessly executes high-quality steaks. Excellent for special occasions or an upscale business dinner.“

“Ethan was an incredible server! Very attentive & took great care of us, will definitely be returning!“

“Huge shoutout to Angelo’s tonight. Only wish I would’ve remembered my server’s name, to give her extra recognition here. We went out for an important dinner tonight. We were celebrating something small, but meaningful. When we called they had no reservations available for the evening, but then called us back and squeezed us in at 4:30. The power went out in the entire city after we were served our first course. We were served our entrees in the dark, with the same elegance, as of nothing had occurred. Even with the unfortunate circumstances, we were treated like royalty by the entire staff, and had an exceptional dining experience. I will be dreaming of the escarole, until I have it again. Thank you Angelo’s! Great job! 👏🏽“

“Excellent“

“I hosted a rehearsal dinner in the Wine Room at Iccara. The space was the perfect size for our group of 28. The staff was great in setting up the table scape and decorations to meet my daughter's "vision". Everyone raved that the food was delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Wow! The food is excellent, the roasted peppers were amazing rivaling my wife’s and Mother’s! The fettuccine with spinach and shrimp was amazing. The taste of the spinach was amazing as if it was sautéed in garlic and oil before being added to the dish. I can’t say enough about this restaurant! Glad I finally found it!“

“Excellent food served with gracious hospitality. Definitely a night to be remembered!“

“We had our Thanksgiving dinner and everything was great. I look forward to additional gatherings in the future.“

“Great local spot that consistently delivers. Their vodka rigatoni is a standout & is rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The seasonal specials are always worth trying as well. The location is convenient, the service is genuinely friendly, and everything feels welcoming and well run. An added bonus is the small market on site, which makes it easy to grab take-home items and enjoy their food later. A great place for both a quick bite and stocking up on quality prepared foods.“

“We got their menu in our mailbox last week. Tried them tonight and we enjoyed their food very much. Nice thin crispy crust, nicely seasoned sauce, nice amount of cheese and toppings. A definite "recommend" !“

“excellent menu. food is soooo good! atmosphere awesome, staff excellent. our favorite local spot for almost 30 years!!!“

“First time dining at diamonds. Everything was absolutely delicious. The fried calamari had some spicy hot peppers in it with a marinara sauce. It was so good my husband had his favorite chicken Parmesan with Bolognese sauce super scrumptious, and I had the beef Wellington with pasta. it was absolutely outstanding. We will definitely be back . Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.“

“Robert and his staff made my son's 35th Birthday Celebration very special. We had 30 people for dinner at Leonardo's on October 24, 2025, all of them were very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere for my sons 35th Birthday Celebration. Our menu consisted of Penne Marinara, Farfalle Vodka, Chicken Parmesan and a Caesar Salad. All would recommend Leonardo's when dining due to the taste and the service of the staff at Leonardo's. The pasta just melted in mouth and could taste the chesses, or the sauces on the pasta. There was more than enough food for all. The Caesar Salad was a blend of crisp, creamy, tangy and savory favors working together to achieve a satisfying balance. All in All the evening was perfect, and I will be coming back to Leonardo's for future celebrations.“

“Had our reunion dinner there last night. The food was outstanding and our waitress was tremendous. She did a fantastic job.“

“The food is incredible - highly recommend“

“Wow! What a perfect meal for my Italian friend and I. Service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious! We got the Broccoli Rabe Sausage app and the Mussels and Clams Fra Diablo. She got a pan fried Soft Crab special and I got my favorite Eggplant Parmesan. We took dessert home but are too full to eat it. Highly recommend! Great vibes inside and BYOB.“

“Stopped for lunch with hubs and friends. We we're looking to share a pizza, this is NOT that place. Yes, personal size for dine in. We opted for sandwiches. 2 ordered the roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone and both finished and raved how delicious 😋 Other 2 of us ordered the cheesesteak with LTO, red wine vinegar and olive oil, I added light mayo. The rolls these sandwiches were served were fantastic 😋 The sammies were NOT "packed" with fillings like a cheesesteak joint. Nicely presented with homemade potato chips. Quality of ingredients is huge because I can't eat a lot. The red wine vinegar and olive oil was top notch. I use red wine vinegar almost daily 😋 I would definitely go back for the same meal, about 1hr from my home and worth the trip 😋“

“You will always see this place full of happy returning patrons and we are two of them. Food quality is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. You have to try their Brick Oven pizzas. If you crave an American cheese hoagie, that is prepared on the best tasting roll in New Jersey, delicious cheese, and crisp lettuce and onions, try one of theirs. The very best that we have ever judged.“

“Call ahead or dine in. Either is preferred.“
