    We had a Barada appetizer, which was absolutely delicious. We each had entrées and they were exactly what I would’ve expected. The service was wonderful. Absolutely no complaints.

    1st time & wow…. Had a blast… hostess, staff & ambiance were great….. our entire dinner was excellent…. Kudos to the executive chef & his team…. Best Vongole I’ve had anywhere on the South Shore/Cape…. Server (Lauren) was also excellent. Polite, knowledgeable of the Menu, and happy to accommodate a few “on the side” requests.. GM Richard stopped by to assure all was OK ( a nice touch)… great job!

    Leonessa is a pure pleasure, start to finish. Love the complimentary valet parking. Love the ambiance. Service is top notch. The meal was beautifully paced - we were given plenty of time to browse the menu and enjoy an aperitif. The courses were perfectly timed with space in between. No one tried to clear our plates until everyone was finished - hallelujah!! And of course, the food was outstanding. I ordered the risotto with short rib and was so impressed and excited that it included a section of bone with marrow!! What a rare treat. Can’t wait to return!!

    The food was absolutely amazing and our waitress knowledge about wine made our dinner experience delicious. The only thing that we would prefer is better seating just on top of people but we made the best of it being our first time there.
