    We are regulars and have always had a wonderful meal. Something was off last night. The blue fin tuna tartare was good, but very spicy. The veal meatballs were not cooked through; we sent them back and a new batch returned the same way. The spaghetti in the vongole was not cooked enough and the dish was incredibly spiced. We will return again to what has always been an exceptional restaurant and hope this was an aberration.

    Leonessa is a delight! The menus (cocktails and food), changes a fair amount, but the food is consistently delicious. Currently our favorite Cape Cod restaurant (for many months!).

    Another excellent dining experience at Leonessa The food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional. The Leonessa team is one of the best around - knowledgeable, helpful, attentive. I had the tuna tartare (my neighbor ordered after seeing mine) and the haddock (flavorful and filling). The did a great job checking and making sure I had what I needed. Thanks Brandon! Best restaurant on the Cape!

    One of the best dinners I have ever had on the Cape from the little neck clams in a wonderful spicy sauce to the Panko crusted haddock with crabmeat and risotto. Amazing!
