Unfortunately we never got a chance to eat. I made a reservation at 7 for three. We were seated as soon as we arrived however that was all that was done. We were never even asked if we wanted water. We sat at the table and waited patiently for twenty minutes during this time we watched the party at table next to us depart and the table was cleaned and a new party seated . Shortly after the party was seated the waiter took their drink order. This was when our party decided to leave. We ended up going to 443 restaurant next door who gave us outstanding service.

We arrived expecting a wonderful Valentine’s Day/ Anniversary dinner. I ordered the pork chop and I was so disappointed! It tasted like it was cooked on a George Forman grill . It was so tough and hard to cut. The couscous was half cooked. It looked & tasted like it’d been sitting on the stove all day and left to dry out! Leone’s must be under new management. Poor management. I’ve eaten here many time in the past. However, this was the worst dining experiences ever! Needless to say we won’t be back.

This was not our best visit - our table was not ready as requested, given we made this reservation a month prior. We were seated, and then had to move again by hostess due to server issues. She was friendly, but this was annoying given our original table request was not honored... All the food was fine and the server was friendly, she checked back and followed up on us.. Surprised that the Manager never stopped by given our issues and being regulars here and 456 Fish across the street. Hopefully our next visit is better or we'll move on...
