Mama’s & Leonies

"First time visit and upon entering we was greeted politely while been directed to a table. Staff were quite pleasant giving us time to select what we wanted. As italian resturantes go in South Yorkshire they are generic as in mainly carbohydrates offering pasta or pizza dishes with other basic dishes. This was not much different so decided to go all out on carbs as we don't eat meat. Choices are generally limited which is not a reflection on this place as the food was exceptional. We ordered Pizza, Vegetable Lasagne x2 and Quiche with Chips. Portions are very good no complaint there however I was enjoying the Pizza so much I just had to order another with some fries. The food was really nice could not fault anything. As my partner is spending quite a lot of money doing the house up to how I would like it this was my treat to him. As the people came and went they were greeted, staff going out of there way to say goodbye and a simple thank you. After I had ordered a second pizza it was noticeable the staff were concerned, (potentially thinking we would not pay.) Feeling rather thirsty wanting another orange juice I was trying to get the attention of any waitress with no success as none made any eye contact at all. Staff just glanced at the floor or tables towards the opposite side of the room and back to the kitchen which I found rude. After waiting around 10mins I decided to get up order a second orange juice including 2x deserts when they arrived I requested the bill imediately which was paid along with a tip hoping to put the staff at ease that we would not be running without paying. When we had finished eating we got up and left without so much as a thank you from any member of staff no eye contact nothing. Having worked in hospitality myself as a manager this is an important part of customer service and a very simple basic one too. Due to poor customer service and the feeling of been judged I will never re-visit again."

"Came here for a meal for the first time with some friends, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I've known people that have been here and have recommended it, but I've never had the time to try it. The restaurant is a very small, authentic Italian. The staff were very polite, and the menu was very standard Italian cuisine. The pizzas were very tasty, and I even had the fruit pizza (very controversial I know, but I would definitely recommend it). They say they don't sell many fruit pizzas but I really enjoyed it, who'd have thought apple's, bananas, pineapple and raisins work on pizza! We also got some wine which we shared, and all beers/lagers are bottled. The mains were very tasty. My only critiques would be they tell you what the specials are on the board because if you're sat upstairs you wouldn't know, and they had some lovely vegan options I wish I saw, but by the time I saw the special board I'd already ordered. They also did custard with the apple pie which isn't mentioned, but I asked for custard and they did do it which is good. The desserts were also not piping hot so maybe that as well. But in general a very good and tasty experience"

"We didn't have a great experience in this Italian restaurant. For starters, we had pork ribs, garlic bread and prawns. The main course was lasagne and steak. Lasagne and pork ribs were poorly presented. Both were surprisingly too sweet. Steak was disappointing - we asked for well done but the steak was very dry and overcooked/burnt. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The staff gave a discount when we mentioned we weren't happy with the steak."

"Amazingly welcoming staff and great quality food and drink options. Absolutely delicious, will be visiting again :)"

"What a gem of a place. I work away and eat out, on my own, a lot. I spotted the Amex sticker in the window of this lovely restaurant and, I thought, I'll try this one out. On a freezing evening in Sheffield the welcome couldn't have been warmer. I had a delicious meal with ice cold Italian Pinot Grigio to accompany it. A delightful dessert with a small bottle of Rosé Prosecco followed by a nice strong espresso. Nikki and the other staff really looked after me. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. A real Gem. Thank you to all the staff for making a boring evening special."
