Leone's Italian 455 Granby Street, Norfolk, VA 23510

"The service was great on NYE, a friend and I snagged a last min reservation; I had corn and shrimp chowder, lasagna Bolognese & a sparkling white! Vegan options were a hit as well. Not my first visit but good food always puts a smile on my face. The meat sauce was heavenly!!!"

"Not sure why Leone’s hasn’t gotten all 5 stars. For their tiramisu alone, I’d give it a 7. Very light, good portion, tastes fresh (at least not thawed from frozen). We came at a busy time (they were busier than the restaurant across the street that I wish we didn’t try!). Leone’s seem smaller from the outside but seems to have seating past the bar. Though they were busy they immediately sat us especially when we had explained we were just there for dessert, coffee and spirits (my friend ordered a martini, and another ordered cannoli’s) and that we had a show to catch. They took our orders and had them ready in 12 minutes or so. Also got our checks all ready. Great service. Will definitely go back to experience full dining! They seem to have lots of choices on the menu, yes, unlike the restaurant across the street that rhymes with door hive sticks wish…!"

"Great place with a great vegan/vegetarian menu as well if you do not eat meat. The burrata appetizer is really good. The chopped steak has one of the best sauces I’ve ever had and the Brussel sprouts were cooked beyond perfectly. Also some of the best tiramisu I’ve ever eaten. They have a great wine selection as well. Highly recommend."

"This was my first time eating at this establishment. The Vegan spaghetti was unimpressive; specifically, it was underseasoned. I certainly think, even though it's designed to be upscale, the portions are not congruent with the price point. The ambiance was very nice. Despite how compact it appears, there's an open feel to it. The wait staff was very attentive."
