    Everything was great but the background music. Not in fitting with the establishment. Was better when more folks arrived and drowned it out. But then noise level was a concern.

    What a lovely meal at Leonessa last evening. We were seated, as requested, in a relatively quiet area and had a fantastic meal. I highly recommend the new pasta-the garganelli--that is on the menu--delicious. From the valet to the hostess to the manager and our server, everyone was welcoming and gracious.

    Food was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was professional, friendly and excellent. My husband is still talking about the pork chop! He loved it!! I had the haddock Milanese and it was very good. The vegetables with it were top notch. We will go back!

    Fabulous night. Wonderful service. They even turned the lights down when requested. Beautiful ambiance. The duck was a large portion as was the porch chop. The sausage pasta though sounding a bit boring was deeeeelicious!

    Another spectacular evening at Leonessa, from the friendly valet and hostesses, to the delicious Negroni blanc, from the scrumptious honeynut bisque with melt in your mouth marshmallows and amaretti crumble to delightful short rib risotto and duck to a fun affogato dessert. Excellent service with the added touch of crumbing the table after the entree course. Lovely ambience in a small attractive room and an excellent wine to complete this lovely evening! We’ll be back!
