About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Leo’s was first opened in 1948 by Italian immigrants Pantaleone (Leo) Mancieri and his wife Virginia (Nonni). Established mainly as a pizzeria in the State Street section of Bristol, the restaurant quickly gained a local following and served as a popular lunch destination for workers and families alike. Leo and Virginia, along with sons Mario and Reno, worked tirelessly to produce great fresh Italian favorites and create a friendly environment for their customers.
The original Leo’s remained open until 1976 when the family decided to close after Leo passes away, and in the year 2000 Leo’s grandson, Paul Mancieri, relocated to 365 Hope Street in the heart of historic downtown Bristol. Paul and his wife Adriana pride themselves on bringing back the spirit and the recipes of the pizzeria ran by Leo and Nonni. Welcome to Leo’s Ristorante! Enjoy our family recipes, preserved for three generations and plated with care and love by Paul, Adriana and their staff.

    This place gets a mixed review from me. My margarita was hugely disappointing- tiny and came in a half filled martini glass without ice. Worst “margarita” ever. However my chicken Parmesan was delicious. My husband had a delicious creamsicle drink but disappointing pizza. My kids had BLTs that they loved. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Place is cute.

    The food and service were excellent. We had, to my knowledge, a new waiter and he came through with all our special requests.

    Our first visit to Leo's. From the moment you walk in, you feel the cozy and charming atmosphere. The decor, lighting, comfortable seating make it a great place for a relaxed meal. Ryan, our server was outstanding. From our arancini appetizer to the blondie dessert, everything was delicious.

    We had reservations and still waited about 20mins to be seated. It was our first time there and was expecting fabulous food with all the reviews I read. Unfortunately it was mediocre at best. I had the lobster ravioli. It was like warm and had very little taste. Way too expensive considering the quality. I expected authentic food but have eaten better at Olive Garden.
