About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Leon’s is an all-day Italian restaurant located in Greenwich Village, just south of Union Square at 817 Broadway (southwest corner of East 12th Street). In the spirit of our sibling restaurant, Anton’s in the West Village, Leon’s is a convivial gathering place for our surrounding community. Leon’s spotlights our deep passion for Italian cuisine, alongside Chef Nick Anderer's thoughtful interpretations of treasured family recipes and culinary traditions passed down by way of Egypt and France.

We're open every day from early morning until late in the evening, serving continuously from Breakfast through Dinner. Enjoy Weekend Brunch on Saturday and Sunday, and our Aperitivo Hour (Happiest Hour) every day from 3 PM - 6 PM. We welcome you to join us in our dining room, at the bar, or enjoy al fresco dining in our small sidewalk seating area during the warmer months. We hope to see you soon!

    The food was great! The person who waited on us was great. The two ladies at the front desk told me that the restaurant was at full capacity. It was not at full capacity, she lied. I was able to secure a reservation on OpenTable within a minute of being denied initially.

    Leon’s has quickly become one of our neighborhood favorites since opening in 2025. Great good, nice room, attentive and professional service. The training/experience of the owners in the USHG shines through.

    Unfortunately this dining experience was extremely disappointing. The service was neglectful and the management didn’t seem to care one way or the other. The specials were not described properly causing one of us to go hungry. The other dish was burnt. There are many many excellent restaurants in NYC. This is not one of them.

    Love Leon’s, and the food is exceptionally good, and we’ve tried much of the menu. It’s a great place to chat with friends. Excellent wine list and drinks too!
