Everything was great. Food and drinks are exquisite. Only complaint was I added a note for a 40th bday to the reservation , reminded the host and reminded the waiter. Just never got it and didn’t even get an apology. Kind of a bummer but this place is special

We have wanted to go to this restaurant for awhile and it did not disappoint. We all had pasta dishes and they were delicious! Gemilli Ragu and Rigatoni with broccoli and pork. Nice wine list. Server was professional and offered helpful suggestions. Complimentary valet a plus.

I wanted a bottle of wine and had no idea what I wanted and the bar/restaurant manager came over and was a great help and helped me pick a great bottle of wine. The food is also amazing.

My wife and I are foodies and this was a new find for us. Home run! Would absolutely go back. Even to sit at the quaint bar. The food and service was amazing. Highly recommend. Only negative was the noise level. Hard to hear each other at times. High ceilings and a loud table next to us probably didn’t help.

Great food and service, a cut above even nicer Cape restaurants. Service was lovely, place was welcoming, and we were treated to a bonus dessert to mark our anniversary. Loved my "Greek" salad -- complex and robust-- and the tuna tartare, which was beautiful and also unusually complex, was especially delicious with paper-thin chips. My husband's steak frites was fine, tho the meat was not super tender and the fries were on the blond side. We'd go back for sure.

Truly amazing! We live nearby and have walked to Leonessa on some special occasions and it keeps getting better and better. The service is outstanding. Last night, our dinner (for 6 ladies) was so fresh, inventive and delicious. A very special night out!
