Everything was over salted. Love.The variety would have been perfect if it wasn't over salted? Set for the cheese board. And the duck was overcooked which is pretty hard to do.

I have a great experience every time at Leone’s! We were headed to a show, &Juliet at the Chrysler and told our server we had a time crunch. She was wonderful (I’m so sorry can’t recall her name right now) and the service was so quick. We had a full dinner, multiple cocktails in under an hour. Their spaghetti is SO GOOD! And the cocktails were flavorful and fun. Will be back :)

Really nice meal here last night before going to the concert at the arena. We started with the bruschetta, fresh and zesty and crunchy. Soooooo good! For mains, my husband had the mushroom gnocchi in a creamy creamy light sauce - pillows of deliciousness. I opted for the lobster fettuccine - my comments reflect my own taste buds, not the cuisine! I found the marinara sauce a bit spicy for my taste (more like a diavolo; hubs loved it, though), and it kind of overpowered the delicate lobster flavor. I might like a white wine & garlic sauce in its place, but I can't do spicy like I used to. The lobster itself was cooked absolutely perfectly - not overcooked, not undercooked, not rubbery, just glorious and unctuous. We split the tiramisù dessert, excellent espresso/Mascarpone flavor and not too sweet. (It disappeared too quickly for a photo.) Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely a place to add to the rotation!

Isn’t at this place during Norfolk restaurant week and we were pleasantly surprised with how great it was. to start. We had the house meatballs, and a house salad. I had a dirty martini from the bar, which was great for dinner. We ordered off the restaurant week menu. I got the linguine and clams and my husband got the chicken marsala or Malisse all of it came out well seasoned hot and fresh. Definitely enjoyed this restaurant for dinner. I had a dessert cocktail cannot remember their name but it definitely hit the spot will visit them again. The ambience in service is great. The noise level was appropriate bathrooms and amenities were very clean. They do have outside seating. We chose to sit inside, but they also have rooftop seating. Check them out.

The drinks were great. Our server Megan was top notch 👌 Will definitely be back. If you are in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. Reservations are highly suggested.
