“Undiscovered goodness in Levittown. Very nice byob with excellent food. The Ceasar salad, bread and oil with herbs and balsamic was a great start.
Chicken piccatta and the veal marsala came with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables in a nice presentation. No knife needed and the taste was phenomenal. Staff and service were excellent and priced reasonable. Will be back and will recommend to friends and family.
Thank you chef, staff and management.

P.s.make sure you take a dessert home the pistachio ricotta cake was great.“

“First time here and was very pleased with all the amazing food, awesome atmosphere, and incredible waiter Reggie! The interior was beautifully decorated and very comfortable!

“I was visiting New Jersey from Miami Florida and I’m so glad i found this little Italian spot. The quality of food is incredible and worth the drive and price. Big portions and packed with flavor. It’s a hidden gem that only locals know about but I did some digging and I’m so glad i found it. The server was funny and down to earth her name was 10/10“

“We were traveling to Trenton for a concert and needed a place to dine after. We are so glad we chose Revere Restaurant. Everything was perfect. The toasted bread was tasty and warm. The Mozzarella with Vodka Sauce for an appetizer was fresh and oozing deliciousness. The salad was crisp and chilled. My son and I ordered Fra Diavolo and the lump crab meat was plentiful and the sauce was steaming. Our server, Carlee, topped the dinner off with friendly, impeccable service. Definitely want to make the trip up here again.“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“We wanted to try a new place and came across this restaurant, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best we've ever been to. Everything was just perfect from start to finish. The host was super welcoming and seated us at a really cozy spot. Our server was great, really friendly and knew the menu inside out, which helped since we were asking a lot of questions. The food came out fresh, hot, and beautifully presented. We had the fish special and the filet mignon for our entrées both were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. After dinner, we moved to the bar for a couple of after-dinner cocktails, and they were honestly some of the best we've had. The whole experience the atmosphere, the service, the food was just spot on. We'll definitely be coming back here again soon!“

“Our food was delicious! Stuffed shrimp and veal with mushrooms in a frangelica cream sauce.“

“My family and I have been coming to Non Solo for years for their authentic Italian delicious food. Recently I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and tried Non Solo's gluten free pasta at the owners suggestion. It was fabulous and I had no reactions. I can't wait to go back and try more. Thank you Jerry“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“We came up from Virginia for a wedding. Staying at the Hilton in Allentown. They had no food service. I didn't want food chain. So I looked up Italian and Found this restaurant. We took the drive and were glad we did. Had A large pepperoni pizza. Thin crust flavor was just what we wanted. Was the Best pizza I had in a while. You can't beat NJ pizza. This place is worth the drive. I'm originally from NJ and the pizza in Virginia is not like here.“

“We recently hosted a Sweet 16 party here, and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the very beginning, Francesca (the owner and chef) made everything so easy. She personally helped us plan the menu and was so accommodating with all of our requests — it really took the stress out of planning.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was fresh and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything was.

The staff was just as wonderful. Everyone was polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. Our party ended up going past the restaurant’s closing time, but the team was so patient and gracious, never making us feel rushed.

We’re so grateful to Francesca and her staff for helping make this celebration so special. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone — whether you’re planning an event or just going out for a great meal. Our family will definitely be back soon!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Visiting from out of town and this restaurant was recommended to me. I ordered the chicken francese with linguine. It was divine. The chicken was so good it felt like it was melting in my mouth. I highly recommend this place to eat. Especially this dish.“
