Il Leone Italian Restaurant & Bar 328 Pemberwick Road, Greenwich, CT 06831

"We were able to make a reservation online at 9:30pm, there were later times available as well so we assumed it would be okay to arrive that late. When we walked in, we didn’t feel very welcomed. It said online they had live music on Thursdays, another reason we thought it would be a good place to go to later in the evening but there was no music and the server made us feel rushed, looked at us all the time while we ate and told us we had to order everything at once since the kitchen was closing. Dinner was very good otherwise, dessert could’ve been better."

"Every dish here is incredible and the drinks Ken makes are always delicious. He’s the only bartender I trust to mix a drink I actually enjoy!"

"We celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday here and it was such a wonderful event! They set up a long table on the patio overlooking the waterfall and allowed me to decorate. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. We live nearby and have also come here many times for happy hour and live music. It’s such a wonderful ambiance and everyone who works there is so friendly."

"Last night we had dinner at Il Leone for my son's birthday. I admit that I was hesitant due to some of the negative reviews, but we decided to try it anyway and we are so glad we did. It was an excellent experience! The Maitre d' and our server were wonderful. The food was outstanding, I had the special (Lobster Fra Diavolo) which was soooo good, lobster was cooked perfectly! If I had to point to something negative, the apple blossom dessert could have been a tad warmer, but I highly recommend the bread pudding - it was yummy! Dining ambiance was inviting and very nice + they have valet parking, a perk if there is inclement weather. We will definitely return and I highly recommend Il Leone!!"

"Had reservations had to wait 25 min at the bar-and then my husband went to see the manager who was rude and obnoxious(he was that way as he greeted us also!!) A manager should be a friendly and warm person and not condescending as you enter the restaurant- he was not -we won’t go back !"
