    Another delicious adventure at Leonessa! The entire staff is always friendly and welcoming, which add to the positive vibes of a great dining experience. Our server, Jem was super friendly and added some suggestions for us to think about as we enjoyed our Hendrick's martini. Started with the Haddock Crudo that was very light and full of flavor with sea beans, chili, green onion, sesame seeds, and Sicilian blood orange. My wife ordered the Truffled Short Rib Risotto and she could not say enough good things about it. I ordered my usual Uniquely Spiced L.I. Duckling, which was once again spectacular! I want to add that the wine list has many choices and varying price points. This was a perfect choice after the Christmas hustle to sit and enjoy great food and a perfectly paced meal. Ya, we'll be back!!

    Food was delicious and service was great! We found the cocktail and dessert prices to be expensive compared to other restaurants of the same caliber. However, the overall dining experience was fantastic.

    Another phenomenal meal at Leonessa on Christmas Eve. Service was well timed and professional. Every item was perfectly prepared.We shared  beef carpaccio, beef tartare, halibut Crudo and white anchovies to start..Each appetizer was outstanding. Kudos to the kitchen !For our mains, we had the Chilean Sea bass special, duck ,steak, and veal with manicotti.. always an excellent meal at Leonessa but it was particularly memorable last evening .
