What a delight! Ample parking right out front on a Friday night. Greeted at the door, with a dimmed lit romantic atmosphere. The ambiance was elegant but casual. Loved the rustic leather seats and the heavy tables. They definitely paid attention to detail. From the bread to start with the olive oil, to our meals, everything was delicious. Not very portion sized but enough to fill your stomach. Would definitely return for a romantic evening.
From the moment you walk in until the time you leave, the experience here is consistently warm and welcoming—everyone is incredibly friendly and attentive. The food never disappoints; it’s always delicious, and they do a great job accommodating large parties with ease. While there isn’t a dedicated kids’ menu, they’re more than happy to adjust dishes to suit younger diners or specific dietary needs. It’s also a BYOB, which is a nice bonus.

We had an incredible dinner at Il Leone. The atmosphere, the service, all absolutely amazing. What an awesome intimate restaurant with amazing food. We had baked calamari, gnocchi, and seafood pasta that was by far the best I’ve had. I can’t say enough about this place! I wish I had tried it sooner!
