Leone's Italian

Overall pretty good experience. Nice clean restaurant with good service. The food was good too. From what I've ordered, the appetizers were the best. The bruschetta and especially the calamari was great. Spaghetti with meat ball was decent. It was supposed to come with pomodoro sauce but it honestly was just your normal marinara. Nothing special about it.

My husband and I came here for an early dinner and was pleased with the food we got! Just a side note: It’s on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. Everything tasted fresh. We got the calamari and burrata fresca appetizers and the chicken marsala and lobster fettuccine for entrees. Then for dessert we tried the cannoli. I’m giving 4 stars because when we checked google reviews and pictures, the prices for almost everything went up a couple dollars. That is from checking the last picture posted of the menu which was from only 3 weeks ago so was a little disappointed and they don’t offer military discount. The entrees are also not that big so don’t expect to get a lot in portion. I like this because I’m the type that likes to leave satisfied when eating, not full. But I know a lot of people are different: In Europe their entrees are smaller so it makes sense if you’re comparing American from Italian. Overall a great fine dining restaurant and our server was nice as well.

I don't know what I was expecting being in downtown Norfolk. I never know anymore with surrounding cities. However, right in the heart of downtown sits this gem. I was pleasantly surprised at the night we had. The decor is nice and not overstated. All the staff appeared to enjoy being there. We received smiles all around. I will say our server was a bit on the slower side of making things move along but not enough to ruin a night or even a cause for real concern, just more of an observation. The food. Let's talk about the food. WOW!! They nailed it. Lobster fettuccine was on penne due to allergy, but still a fantastic pairing!! Lobster tail waiting to be pulled from the shell and so close to perfection, like maybe a minute less time would've made it perfect. My Veal chop was simply amazing. Tender, full of flavor cooking perfectly. All sides were done to the same standards. The cocktails were different and a stellar change of pace. I must say the rosemary in the old fashioned took me by surprise!! If you're looking for a romantic or at least mildly formal night, give this place your attention!

i came here last night with my boyfriend for valentines dinner and everything was amazing! it was our first time and i highly recommend the meatballs and sausage mushroom gnocchi. We also got the blueberry pie and tiramisu and … SO GOOD! i wish i was able to remember our waitress name she was a dark headed girl with glasses and she was absolutely amazing! For all the food and drinks we ordered the bill was priced nicely and not overly expensive at all, we’ll definitely be back :)
