I forgot to get a picture, but I couldn't get enough of the chicken piccata, especially the lemon sauce - I recommend squeezing more of the lemon slice onto the food to add even more lemon flavor to the sauce. The noodles were also very tasty - even as leftovers, they were fantastic . The pre-meal bread was tasty but slightly under cooked, imo. The cauliflower appetizer had Asian flavors which I enjoyed - it was reminiscent of sweet and sour sauce to me. The chocolate cake for dessert was average, not bad, didn't blow me away, though. It's also bright and beautiful inside, the music was mellow, and the staff were professional. Great dining experience.

When it is time to celebrate- consider Leo’s Italian Social! My sisters & I totally forgot that our parents would be celebrating 50 years of marriage… in a week…. So, we spur into action, looking for a dining experience for 10+ people. The events manager responded quickly to our inquiry, set up the setting to our liking & yowzer— the staff went above & beyond! James, our server treated us like long lost family, and was prompt, attentive & friendly. I failed to get the name of the bartender— but he personally delivered drinks to our group. Our food, from appetizers to the main courses, was delivered quickly - and hot. With large groups, something is bound to not be right. BUT NOT HERE— everything was excellent. I have been a guest here only once before- but I will certainly return. My parents really enjoyed themselves- and for that, I am grateful. Thank you Leo’s Italian Social!

Went for Triangle Restaurant Week not realizing it was the hotel restaurant at first because of the name change. They also upgraded the decor and the food. It was a great value for a $15 lunch. You get a whole bun with olive oil & balsamic with grated cheese and a nice large Ceasar salad. I got the lasagna. While it was fine, the bolognase had the taste of chilli seasoning like it was from Cincinnati, not Bologna. The star was the very sweet, gooey cake. Strawberry shortcake on steroids! Sadly, there were very few people there. My waiter, Simon, was fantastic. He obviously has the skills of someone who works nights as well.

We had the best service this evening. Bailey is charming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had a couple of their new cocktails and apps. Great great food, drinks, and service!

An Instant Favorite! We were tired from traveling and decided to get delivery from Leo’s—and wow, it was incredible! Every bite felt like comfort and quality rolled into one. The pizzas were perfectly crisp with fresh toppings like arugula, mushrooms, chicken, and sun-dried tomatoes. The focaccia bread was soft and flavorful, and the oil dip added the perfect touch. And don’t even get me started on the cannoli… absolutely heavenly! Rich, creamy, and generously filled with white chocolate chips and a dusting of powdered sugar. Even though we weren’t dining in, you could taste the care and passion in every item. Leo’s turned our tired evening into a truly satisfying experience. We’ll definitely be back—this place is a gem!

This was my first time at this location. When we entered the restaurant we were seated quickly because we had reservations. However we sat there for 15mins or longer because nobody came over to greet us. The way it look was they were understaffed. After a while the waiter came an apologized for the delay. The manager also apologized and covered our appetizer. The food came out pretty quickly and it was good. The atmosphere was very chill and I love that it was peaceful place to eat. Great idea for date night!

Julian, who appeared to be the manager, welcomed us with a warm smile and made us feel comfortable right away. Throughout our visit, he offered five-star hotel-level service that allowed us to fully enjoy not just the meal but the entire atmosphere. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary in a simple way, but thanks to Julian, it turned into a truly special experience. Thank you!
