An iconic Italian restaurant in Hoboken. While unassuming on the outside, this Sinatra-dedicated restaurant serves authentic Italian food in a cozy environment.Their food is delicious; however, the prices are a little more expensive for the amount of food (I had the Sinatra Gamberi). Their wines are full of flavor and they provide full glasses.But I will say that the service is impeccable. The staff are extraordinarily friendly, full of heart, and for some of the locals, know them by name.While it is a small restaurant, reservations are not accepted, so be sure to get there early to get a seat.

A classic Hoboken Italian restaurant with cozy Sinatra-infused vibes! I surveyed the Hoboken Sailing Club members to see what people thought was the most Hoboken-y Italian restaurant in Hoboken because I had family coming in from California. Leo's was one of the top suggestions and it was exactly what we were looking for. The restaurant is bustling and has a welcoming, warm ambiance. There are string lights that adorn the old school tin ceiling and the bar has a nice energy to it. The food is your standard Italian fare. I got the eggplant parm with linguini and thought it was pretty solid. The service was fast and the staff is friendly. I had called a few days earlier to see if they took reservations. They do not so I asked about wait times and the helpful guy on the phone said "it depends on when you come in and how many in your party but we do have a full bar and fast turnover". He was right! No wait for us on a Friday night (part of five) and the food came out relatively quick. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a classic old Hoboken spot with decent food, cozy Sinatra vibes, and nice service!

Had a great experience at Leo's with a large group with kids. The server Michelle was so accommodating and the staff was nice as well. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this Italian restaurant.

Excellent Italian place in Hoboken. The chicken parm and linguini were fresh and filling - I felt like I was back at my friend's house when his grandma would cook on Sat or Sun night. The front of the house staff was warm and inviting. I didn't mind having a table tucked in the back by the kitchen...it wasn't noisy - just the right amount background conversation from the other diners.

Ate here last week while on a business trip with my coworker. Great food and banter with John at the bar. John says he’s the fourth generation of his family to run the bar. Had a fantastic experience and highly recommend!

We have been dining at Leo’s for years and finally writing a google review. Always a great meal and wonderful family atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious. We love enjoying Italian favorites and listening To Sinatra on the jukebox.Saluti a Grazie Mille.

Party of 4 - white clam sauce: excellent. Fettuccine Alfredo: excellent. Wednesday special- lasagna +a meatball and sausage: excellent. Meat ravioli: you guessed it…. Excellent. Eat here. Like, now!
Whatever you order is freshly prepared and delicious. I’ve been a regular at Leo’s for many years.
Great staff, always attentive. Extensive wine list/drink menu.

Fuhgeddaboudit this place is as authentic as it gets. As soon as you walk in the front door you feel like you take a step back in time and a step back to your Italian grandmother’s kitchen. Nothing flashy just great food and great (no frills) service. Eat where Sinatra ate (no joke, there’s a shrine to Ole Blue Eyes above the bar) and thank me later!

I always feel so happy when I’m in here and it’s my favorite restaurant in Hoboken. I love that the whole place is a memorial to Frank Sinatra. The food is always great. We love the Sinatra pasta and the baked ziti the most, but everything is great! Even our 3 year old loves it here and requested to have his birthday dinner here.Highly recommend.
