Absolutely amazing Italian restaurant with a mouth watering menu. The warm bread and garlic oil dip they bring out to start is so good, I could have just eaten that for my whole meal. We tried the cauliflower bites to start, had the Market Fish for my main, and the Tiramisu for dessert. All three were perfect! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Thank you to our waiter, Akin! You made our birthday dinner for my friend a very special occasion. You tended to our needs and made sure our drinks and dinner were were on point. We appreciate your hard work. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and we enjoyed the ambiance. You all were so busy with it also being Prom night for the local high schools, but you did a amazing job balancing the demand of all of your guests! I highly recommend this restaurant.
This food needs a 11/10... and I need more stars s... Dominque was our server... 11/10 and needs all the stars... not only did she advise us both 100%, she never missed... her professional opinion is what we all need as a first time customer! RUN don’t walk or hesitate... this place is the best food experience we’ve had as guest who drive 5hrs for a staycation!!! Lastly... leave room for the Butter cake with strawberry and gelato ... what an amazing night out... we will be back for sure!!
Had a fantastic birthday dinner! Love the old school atmosphere - located in a hotel and two stories of seating, along with the large open main dining room. Service was fast, food was piping hot and delicious. Prices also aren’t out of hand like a lot of mid-tier restaurants are right now and the complimentary champagne is a nice touch. Will be back to try the pizza!!
I've been to Leo's Italian restaurant three times and have had a good experience each time. Last night I went on a double date and had a wonderful meal. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful and I love brining friends here. At the end of dinner, our waiter Kevin, brought each of us a glass of champagne. Kevin took good care of us and gave great food recommendations.
From out of state on business and we stopped in here for dinner & let me just say this was some of the best lasagna I have ever had and I have been to Italy! Huge portions! Live music & great service! My only regret is not getting some to take home for the family! It was amazing!!
Had a fabulous time with my family at Leo’s Italian social. The food was fantastic. I had the lobster shrimp pasta, and my daughter had the pesto chicken pasta, and my father had spaghetti and meatballs. The bread is amazing and actually the whole menu is amazing. We’ve already planned to return again ! I would like to give special kudos to the staff, as they go above and beyond for the best customer experience!
Stopped in for dinner at Leo’s and was pleasantly surprised. I had the oatmeal crusted chicken salad, bolognese, and butter cake. It was all fantastic. For a drink, or server Dominque recommended the lemon drop. It was sweet, sour, and dangerous. :) Dominque was a fantastic server who was knowledgeable, fun, helpful, and recommended such good options.
