   First time dining. Restaurant is vey loud. Also only tables for 3 are big round tables that could seat 6 so we felt very far apart and had to yell. Food was ok had pizza for appetizer Which was good. Dinners were skirt Steak which was good and spicy rigatoni also good. Linguini with clam recommended By waiter was not too good. Clams were chewy and overall bland dish. For dessert only three choices. Tiramisu , chocolate soufflé and something else. Then waiter offered cheese cake but after we ordered it told they didn’t have it. Charged anyway but upon noting taken off bill.

   Not impressed. Food was mediocre. Served bird sized bread pieces to start. Whipped ricotta with hot honey drenched crustini, not appetizing. Vodka pie, not spicy, too much sauce and cheese atop a thin crust. Entrees tasteless and did not taste like fresh pasta. Only earned a single star for a happy ending of moist tiramisu. Ambiance appealing, but attempting to be a more reputable restaurant than actually is. Why black out front windows and ignore light entering from side door? Dining experience disrupted by smoke alarm. Disagree with all reviews or my palate has just been pampered with finer foods. An additional star for attentive service, including topping off water glasses repeatedly, changing plate settings and silverware between courses. Unfortunately, we do not plan to dine again.

   The food was fantastic. This is elevated cuisine. Not what you would expect from a restaurant in a strip mall but as soon as you step inside you will forget about the surroundings. My wife had veal osso bucco and I had shrimp Franchise over angel hair pasta. Both were fantastic. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, very helpful. The owner heard that it was our anniversary and he came over to introduce himself. There were only a few tables when we got there at 6:00 but they were packed by the time we left at 7:30. I give I’ll Leone my highest recommendation. Enjoy!

    The food, decor, and service was phenomenal. I will be going back again and again. We did not have one bad dish. And being able to bring your own wine was such a plus. I highly recommend trying Il Leone. You will not be disappointed.
