The law firm where I work had Leonoro's cater our annual holiday luncheon on Dec 21, and without doubt and as expected, the entrees and desserts were delicious all around. There wasn't a single morsel left. Charleston is lucky to have a restaurant that serves first-class Italian cuisine, and I'm confident our firm will continue to be a repeat customer!

I really love this place from the moment. I drove up in the parking lot period it's an old school italian restaurant that's been around since 1915. That was the best spaghetti. I've had a long time period in the sauce was out of this world or as it's called it in New Jersey and New York ,gravy. Don't walk in here expecting to come in and out for a quick meal. Don't come in this place if you are in a hurry . It can get quite busy, so have a little patience. Sit back and relax and take in the scenery and have a beverage of a choice and relax. It is definitely worth a way I recommend this place to everybody who loves Spaghetti

My husband and I were visiting Charleston, WV, and had dinner at Leonoro's Spaghetti House. It’s a wonderful family-owned restaurant that’s a fixture of downtown Charleston and has been in business since 1915. Located in a brick building, it looks almost like a house, and when you walk in you feel like you’ve stepped back into the 1930s—in a good way!The entire staff was very friendly, and every person was obviously a part of the community. They know their customers and their city and serve them well.Special kudos to Mallory, our waitress, who was FANTASTIC! She met us at the front door and, even though it was close to closing time, she assured us that we had time to order and enjoy our meal. Despite serving multiple tables (as the restaurant was still busy), Mallory was friendly and kind and took time to guide us through the food and drink choices and provide recommendations to us. She was efficient and ensured our food arrived quickly, and stopped by several times during dinner to ensure we were enjoying our meals and had everything we needed. She even stopped and chatted with us after dinner, after the other diners had left, to tell us a little about the city and some local sites we might be interested in visiting.The restaurant boasts a menu of authentic Italian dishes which would suit either vegetarians or carnivores. Everything is definitely made fresh and onsite with great care in the preparation and is absolutely delicious! We had green salads to start, with local greens and the house dressing (a tomato-based vinaigrette). My husband ordered a medium-size plate of meat ravioli, and I had a half-order of lasagna (with a glass of merlot on the side). The pastas were excellent, and the sauce was extremely tasty. Leonoro’s makes a red sauce that’s not marinara (which is offered as an alternative). It was smoother and milder with a faintly sweet flavor. We ordered garlic bread (and were given a double order for the same price!) that was also quite tasty. We didn’t order dessert so we can’t comment on the selection, but we saw other tables enjoying the offerings after their meals and they looked scrumptious. They have a good wine selection, both by the bottle and the glass.The prices were reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area and other Italian restaurants we’ve visited, and a great value considering the high quality of our meals that we enjoyed. The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere without being stuffy and is good for both families and couples dining out. We will DEFINITELY return to Leonoro’s on our next visit to Charleston! Our mouths are already watering at the prospect of another fantastic meal!
