What a lovely place to have a nice dinner. The service was excellent. Convenient parking across the street. The food was scrumptious. I was hoping for a little better when I saw gf bread. I received crackers. Highly recommend trying the sangria- red!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Been here twice and both time, I have not been disappointed by anything I've ordered.The complimentary bread is accompanied by two different kinds of butter, and our table had to have an extra basket even after our entrées arrived.The salmon and the lobster were amazing and almost had me order another.The green tea shot is by far my favorite drink they serve.A must stop place for excellent Italian food.*there is a parking lot in front, across the restaurant*attire is typically more formal
A lot of pomp and circumstance but nothing to back it up. The food was sub par, something likened to olive garden. It was simply overpriced for mundane food with a heavy reliance on salt.

We have some Italian friends and in their opinion, Leone's is as close as it gets to authentic Italian in the Hampton Roads area. We sampled the meatballs as an appetizer and I ended up ordering it for an entree they were so good! They have a great wine list and great cocktail options. The dining areas are comfortable and spacious. Definitely worth a visit.Parking: Small lot across the street is shared by this and another restaurant. The lot is free but monitored by an attendant. Tipping is recommended.If it is full, the nearest lot is a couple blocks or you can take your chances funding a spot on the street.

First time visiting Leone’s, and I will say, it wasn’t a terrible experience. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the AMAZING service from our waitress, Molly (who gave us great recommendations for the food). However, the bruschetta and the table bread were both dry and not tasty at all (almost ruined the meal). I feel like Carrabbas has better tasting table bread to offer… Overall, enjoyable experience, but would only go back for the pasta not the bread.

Always a great place to get early reservations before a show. Love this place but don’t wear a hat. It’s part of the dress code.

Without a doubt one of the best Italian meals I've had in the states, and better than some that we've had in Italy. Service was excellent, and we were able to get a table for 2 at a high top with no reservation on a Saturday night.The veal chop was substantial and cooked perfectly, and the burrata appetizer was beautiful. My wife's shrimp pesto had perfectly cooked shrimp and homemade pasta and everything was in perfect ratios.Really can't speak highly enough about it. We will be back!
The ONLY reason why I’m not giving 5 stars was because it took too long for our server to acknowledge our table to ask if we even wanted water. After we were acknowledged the food and drinks were absolutely perfection and definitely will be back to experience their outdoor patio.

The burrata appetizer was outstanding! Perfect amount to share. I had clam sauce entree and my husband had the seafood in red sauce..... both were absolutely delicious. We ended by splitting a tiramisu - which hit the spot! Our server Neal was outstanding.

Wife and I had a reservation, were seated and unfortunately after 20 minutes no one came to greet us or even give us water. I had to go to the bar to get our drinks for the table. This was our first time here and will not be back which is unfortunate because we are new to the area and was looking forward to eating here.
