    Main attraction is excellent quality food! With major menu changes about 6 times a year, it never gets stale.

    Still one of my top choices but they were just a bit off with service this evening- too much lag time between starter and main course.

    Leonessa is a world class restaurant. Our server Jen was outstanding. The food is off the chart. Everything the Chef/Owner makes is amazing. You leave saying when am I coming back. Keep up the great work.

    Such a lovely experience! From the moment we walked in the restaurant and were escorted to our table, we felt that we were going have a great time. Camila, our server, was friendly, professional and very personable. She brought a bread plate that included a rosemary brioche and a toasted bread with olive tapenade and salted butter.My husband and I shared the beef tartare and the prosciutto . Beautifully presented and delicious! Our entrees were a short rib Milanese with risotto and a crispy haddock. Again, wonderful presentation and flavorful. We shared cannolis for dessert. We cannot stop talking about our dinner. We would come here from the east end of Long Island just to eat here again! Do not hesitate to come here. You will be happy that you did!
