Love the food!
Amazing place to eat. The location is in a very nice area where there is stuff do, and you could walk around. The restaurant itself was amazing. Very ambient, clean, prestigious atmosphere. The service was the best I ever had never even had to ask for anything. Not even water, and since it was authentic Italian food the waiter being knowledgeable enough to help me choose was awesome. The food is out of this world. There wasn't nothing I tasted which was a all new for me that wouldn't be in the category of best I ever had. Even the bread, and butter. Absolutely must go
I don’t come here often enough.
The food, drinks and service are always impeccable!
I can’t wait until summer to get back to rooftop seating!
Seating by the door was not favorable at all. Everything else was superb
New Year’s Eve dinner. Wonderful food and service. First time visiting, will definitely be back!
great service and food! can't beat that. highly recommend.
Great food & service!
Thank you!
The food was delicious. All parties at the table throughly enjoyed their entree.
Thank you! We are glad your group enjoyed their experience, we hope to see you again soon!
Wanted a nice dinner experience before a theater event at Chrysler Hall - Leone’s was a perfect choice. We were seated in the “next door” room, which was quiet enough to enjoy my date’s conversation while still having attentive table service.
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad we were able to give you a beautiful dinner before curtain call. We look forward to serving you again.
Good food, good service, good time every time. Plan to return especially when the rooftop is open!
Thank you for your kind words! We have officially opened our rooftop patio for dining. We hope to see you soon.
We have dined at Leone's before and enjoy this restaurant. I ordered the Veal Chop and the sauce that it came in was very salty, Not bad enough to return but more than to my liking. This meal not withstanding, we will return.
Thank you for the great insight on the Veal Chop! We hope to see you again to make a better impression.
Rockfish was over cooked. Cesar salad and Caprese were was just okay. Server was excellent.
We typically get great feedback on our food and we are sorry that you did not have the same experience. We hope to get the opportunity to serve you again and change your opinion of us.
Leone’s is a nice restaurant. Service, drinks, food and the people are outstanding. Thanks to all that work so hard.
Thank you for coming in!
Leone's is a hidden gem in downtown Norfolk. The food and service is always excellent. They have a monthly wine tasting that we always look forward to. They also have roof top outdoor seating during the warmer months that is very nice. A great place to enjoy with family and friends!
Thank you! We have officially opened our patio and roof top for dining. We hope to see you soon.
Beautiful restaurant. Excellent waitstaff. Chicken Marcella was of the best I have had.
Thank you for your feedback. The Chicken Marsala is one of our signature dishes and we are excited you loved it. Since you rated us only 3/5, is there something we could improve on to make a better impression?
Great food, near Chrysler Hall.
Thank you!
Dinner before show at Chrysler. Service by Craig outstanding!
Thank you for coming by before curtain call! We hope to see you again soon.
Last minute reservation. Late dining. Waitress and cook were excellent.
Thank you!
The valet parking option is a great option. We had reservations and we were greeted by a friendly hostess staff and promptly seated. The waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. She suggested we split the ceasar salad since it was a large portion. I had the braised short rib special for the main course and it was absolutely amazing! I love this restaurant during the summer when you can eat on the rooftop.
Chelsea took very good care of us on our 1st date night in awhile. Will recommend and will revisit.
Great food! Loved the atmosphere! Beautiful! I will def go again!
We had a great time. My date and I really enjoyed being able to look out the window and watch the world around us. It was a great first date and we'll be back!
Food preparation and taste where outstanding. Our server Kyle was a master of his craft. The ambiance and vibe where enjoyable.
Me and my fiancé came there Valentines Day 2K20 and it was beautiful! The staff are amazing & the food was delicious! We will be coming very soon!
Great atmosphere! 0-10 would most definitely recommend!
Food terrible . Servers slow. Food took forever. Ambiance nice.
The Wife & I really enjoyed our Dinning experience and great ambiance. We will definitely come agin in the warmer months for the patio/outdoor seating 💯
Thank you for your kind words! Our patio and roof top dining are officially open. We hope to see you again soon.
The food was amazing! Our waitress was amazing!
The staff was amazing and the food was very good, but I do think the portions were a little small for the price that we paid. I would recommend it though.
Homemade pasta!!! Food was excellent, the sabayon was incredible. Great place!!!
Service had deficiencies. Our server brought the wrong meal for one guest, couldn’t answer questions about the menu (e.g. what is pappardelle), and brought the wrong desert for one guest. There were a couple of other minor issues as well. I had a dish I had many times before and it was just not as good as usual. I have to admit, I was disappointed.
For the amount of the cost, the experience and food was par to subpar. The best part was definitely the meatballs as an appetizer - delicious - it is a must. However as far as the entree item - I have made better Clams and Linguini. However, the service was spot on and so gracious. I'll be trying other restaurants on Granby before returning to Leone's as it is pricey.
Would probably recommend, but went two Saturday nights in a row. One was restaurant week and service and food was excellent. Second week was just as busy, however items were missing from our salads and water was rarely replenished. First week there was even a “water boy”. Disappointing since we took folks who had never been.
Great food and service. They offer a great menu for folks on a time schedule because they are seeing a play.
Food, service and atmosphere are always delightful. We went very standard with spaghetti and meatballs and salmon. Delicious and generous portions. Thank you Leone’s!
The Mahi special was delicious and Madison was a great server!
Leone’s just keeps getting better! Recently moved back and it’s even better than I remember. Everything we ordered was delicious, so many great things on the menu it was hard to decide. Fabulous wine list!! Carefully curated, something for everyone and ever palate and price point! Def recommend for locals and visitors alike. I know I’ll be back!
Dinner was good, but the wine by the glass was terrible (Chardonnay & Pinot Noir). The bottled wine list is extensive, so it would be great if there were more options for wine by the glass rather than only the “house” wine. It was busy, and the noise level made it difficult to hear. Even our server had trouble hearing our orders.
I do look forward to returning in the spring when we can sit outside.
This was our third or fourth time dining at Leone’s. Every time has been wonderful. I and one of our companions took advantage of the Restaurant Week menu, which was excellent. My husband and our other friend had pasta and the caprese salad. We all agreed the meals were delicious and our service was excellent. Alexandra (Alex) took good care of us. We will be back!
