    My wife and I had an amazing dinner this weekend while we were celebrating her birthday. The food was amazing as always, from menu selections and speed to table to quality and flavor. Austin was our server and he was knowledgable about the menu, kind, funny, and relaxed. He made the night all that much better. We will definitely be returning.

    We try to go to Leonessa whenever possible. It never disappoints. The atmosphere is sophistically cozy and welcoming. The menu offerings are intriguing and delicious. Terrific wine list and of course always the appreciate the parking valet.

    This was a return visit for my wife and I to celebrate my birthday and it made my day memorable. Our reservation was for 4:45 so it was quiet when we arrived which our corner table in the tavern area seem very nice we started by sharing the octopus and caesar salad and for entrees my wife had duck and I had the veal. For dessert we shared the pistachio offering. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was also great but unfortunately I don’t recall our server’s name which is a shame since she deserves special recognition. Overall, an excellent, memorable dinner.
