We dined at Il Leone for the first time to celebrate a special occasion. We were met with impeccable service from the moment we walked in the door- our servers were kind, knowledgable and charming. The food was outstanding with great flavors and bountiful portions. For a Wednesday night there was a nice crowd and good ambiance. Looking forward to returning.
Had couples date night here to try it out, didn’t expect much but wow!! Food is absolutely delicious. From the appetizers to the pizza to the main dishes, just a really great meal from start to finish. We really enjoyed the tiramisu and their espresso was on point. The only complaint I have was that we felt a bit rushed. I get it’s a Saturday night, but a 2 hour time limit would be nice instead of being rushed out before 1hr 30 min, especially being a party...
Run don’t walk if you want delicious authentic Italian food. Best in the area and we’ve been to many different places over the years. My husband has relatives from Italy and is very picky. He loved every meal from calamari to the rigatoni and I enjoyed my chicken martini.
