Il Leone

Based upon a friend’s recommendation we headed over for lunch on a Sunday. It’s in a strip-mall but once you enter the restaurant you immediately forget the outside environment. The decor is very attractive and impressive as you see a large seating area with an attractive bar seating area by the kitchen. Speaking of bar it’s BYOB with a liquor store conveniently across from the restaurant in the same mall. Staff is friendly and attentive with a very welcoming atmosphere that provides the perfect setting to enjoy your meal. As for the food the bread on the table is among the best we’ve enjoyed. If it’s indicative of their pizza we cannot wait to try one. For today Cheryll enjoyed the risotto with mushrooms and I tried the eggplant parmigiana. Both were impressive with the eggplant being

My wife has been waiting to come to II Leon since the day they opened, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The décor and ambiance were really nice—warm, modern, and welcoming. The food was spectacular. I had the spicy rigatoni and it was incredibly flavorful. Even the bread they bring to the table was amazing; I literally had to tell myself to stop eating it. The staff was friendly and attentive, constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The owners, a husband and wife team, were there and they were so down to earth and genuine. You can really feel the passion they put into this place. We’ll definitely be back

We went to this restaurant with high expectations based on excellent reviews. Unfortunately these expectations were only partly met. Service is fantastic - attentive, polite, friendly, accommodative. They even changed wine glasses for us for bigger ones as we were doing wine tasting and proper stemware was very important. Interior is nicely and tastefully decorated. Food however was not up to the highest standards. Risotto I ordered was overcooked and dry. Chicken breast was tough, dry and chewy. On the other hand wagyu beef meatballs and panna cotta were very good. Another downside is it's extremely loud inside. I don't understand why people have to scream but we could barely hear each other. We might give another try to this place and order different dishes. If experience is better I wi

Although I've only been here once ( I plan to go again as soon as possible), I am confident awarding Five Stars. With extensive fine & casual dining experience & as a professional in the hospitality industry I can confidently say they have their act together. Flawless service regardless of any request, a most pleasant staff, awesome vibe, high quality food fairly priced... I can see why they have a great reputation and was recommended to us. Really enjoyed chatting with some regulars, as the layout was uniquely comfortable One hour trip to get here, and I'll gladly do it again soon. Thank you for an awesome dinner & so much more.

Both times I’ve been were amazing! The food is hands down the best I’ve had. But beyond the food, their service blew me away. I accidentally left my meal behind last night, and when I called and left a message, they got back to me the next day. They had my food ready, warm bread included, and were so kind about it. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I can’t wait to come back
