The owner is the hostess and let me just say she is very colorful. Unfortunately each time we have gone, there seems to be people that were waiting for their tables ahead of us and were saying she was always rude but we all thought her personality was great and love her. The food where to begin. The table bread, best table bread I have ever had and we eat out 4 times a week. The food is huge and really good with great prices for the amount of food you get. Now the downside, worst service we have ever had at any restaurant and we have gone back three times, so not just a one off. The wait staff are far from attentive, always seem to forget items that you ordered with just an "oh I forgot." Looking for drink refills, even for water, truthfully forget it. You're better off bringing a bottle of water. As far as any type of service, they take your order, you may and I mean may see them one more time and then they drop off your handwritten check that you truly have a hard time reading. Last time we were there we ordered two meals and two beers. There were six items on our handwritten bill that you could not make out but could see the prices. At that point we were ready to leave, they were no where to be found, so we just deducted the extra charges from the tip we left. Truly, this would be 5 stars if they would just do something about the service. But, it's always crowded, so guess that's not a priority and truly we will be going back for the bread and food and hope for the best with the service, although next time, I'll have them bring me three glasses of water at one time.

My Ravioli di Mare was delicious with excellent sauce - shrimp were decent - doubt if they're local. My partner's Strozzapreti Chianti was also an excellent choice. Very nice noodles. Salads were very good. Drinks were good. Restaurant was nice. The not so good - I made a reservation for two. So when we got there only two tables in the restaurant were occupied. We were placed right next to a couple whom I believe thought we were uncomfortably close. No reason for that as the place wasn't busy and we could've sat elsewhere. The place is expensive. More than it should've been. But that doesn't detract from the food which was very good so the price isn't a show-stopper. All except for the limoncello desert. Tasted like it was store bought - expect better for nearly $11 a slice. But the topper for us was - With just two tables occupied - the other couple had left - a Medical professional (who most likely just got off her shift) came in by herself looking for a table. She was told they couldn't accommodate her - they were closing early and she was turned away. The place was no where near closing time - no closed sign on the door. We both found that off-putting. Hence the 3 stars which otherwise would've been 4. Whether we will return there. Si' o No? I'll leave it at that... Buona sera. Buona sera.

This place is the opposite of a chain restaurant. It's clearly a family business that takes pride in preparing every dish. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive and on top of everything. My wife and I split an appetizer: meatballs with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. The dish was perfectly executed. I found it hearty, satisfying, and full of authentic Italian flavor. The menu features many daily specials, and today the veal parmesan caught my eye. The cutlets were beautifully prepared. Pounded thin, they were tender, and topped with a rich, fresh marinara sauce. The cheese was bubbly and golden. All the elements came together in a dish finished to perfection. The pasta was homemade spaghetti, cooked tender yet firm, and generously coated in marinara sauce. I would order this meal again, but there are so many other items on the daily specials list to try. I can't wait to come back.

August 7, 2026 - Two for Take Out : First Visit…read more I bought a house in LOW in 2024 and have driven past and in this shopping center for 2+ years. We do pizza about once or twice a month. (we have been going to another place for a year - further away and currently close until EOM August/September) This would be a great spot since it's under a mile from "the home shack." We are from Philly (45 years growing up, school, college etc.) with heavy Italian influences and I think better pizza and tomato pies that NY, and also from Long Island recently after 16 years, where the pizza is not that great quite frankly. The quest is ON here in Florida for 5 years? We got a plain cheese since that is where the reference standard is? I opted for "thin" crust I don't know why, mainly because others are so doughy and sometimes undercooked - I should have given them a chance to do that. This pie was thin and then the crust a little dry and crunchy and the crust like a cookie. I will take the error and will try their regular standard pie. I think the dough had a good flavor but it was overcooked. The cheese was good quality not all whey cheapened up and nice and 'stringy. The sauce was also nicely spiced and authentic. So the basics are there. 6/10 The boss is really a wing fan (and of course sadly only likes flats) so this plant based vegan does go off script for the pizza and then the "drums" are mine unless she really loves them! This kiss of death for any place is if the flats are not AT LEAST 50% of the order. Leone's passed this test. phew! Its a 5 piece order so there can be mathematical problems here. We got an order of standard mild buffalo and then an order of garlic parmesan. (Picture attached somewhere.) We do like them "well" done which really means properly cooked since so many are rubbery and undercooked and it seems Sal is more concerned with getting the order out and fast is better than good and well done. You know Sal Manilla? (snicker) These wings however are sent swimming in the deep fryer. They are obviously quite crispy on the outside and this type of high heat murders the meat on crisps the skin but then inject the fryer oil fat etc. etc. This is not very healthy (of course Sal is whipping this out quickly and on "short" order. We prefer BAKED wings. Sadly for all these restaurants my wife is a great cook and since she loves wing (flats) she makes truly the best baked wings I have ever eaten from buffalo, to Long Island to Philly to anywhere. But the secret is SLOW & LOW. (the other place we normally frequent does this) I may ask if they can bake the wings when I go back for Round 2. Good flavor and seemed like good product. Don't like the deep frying and over cooked. 5/10 The place is very nice for dining in and I have seen it MOBBED!!! The wait staff and people seemed attentive and pleasant and I think have been there successfully for years. We/I will be back and possibly to dine in, but at least another take out for sure. Regular Plain (not thin) and since they don't do a Spec Pizza maybe the Margarita or Grandma or something as well. Will investigate the "baked" wings request as well - the deep fry is a no?
