Perfect Italian restaurant. We have friends in Peoria and they took us to Joe's to have dinner and…read moreit was wonderful. We all had drinks and decided to have dinner only. The place is wonderful and our server was very attentive. We received our drinks, bread and salad. The bread is fresh baked and wonderfully worm. I had the linguine with clam sauce. It comes with toast, whole clam as well as minced clams in a wonderful lemony wine sauce. Delicious. My wife had ravioli with a red sauce and she said delicious. Our friends had the linguine with scallops, shrimp and crab. This is their favorite dish when they come here. Looked awesome.. Prices are very reasonable and atmosphere is pleasant. We had a great time.

Sat at the bar, had the pleasure of getting to know the bartender and owner who were excellent company. Gave wine and food recommendations, recounted stories of covid days and shared they had celebrated their 30th anniversary. If that is not something to toast, I don't know what is.

It's always nice to try new places. I didn't even know this one existed until an ad popped up on…read moreone of my social medias. It is a small restaurant, and I do mean small. Like only 20 tables or so. The couple next to us was on a date and I felt like I could follow their whole conversation from the moment we sat down. Our waiter came by to introduce himself, but didn't take our drink orders. When he came back, he jumped right in to our meal orders. All of our meals came with salads and he never asked us about dressing options, so I assumed all salads came with a house dressing. But my dad's girlfriend asked for blue cheese...I mistook her request for dressing and just put blue cheese crumbles on top of her plain salad...no dressing. We did ask him about drinks as he was leaving with the menus. While waiting, we overheard the table behind us ordering their salads and their waiter gave them a whole list of dressing options. Once we got our salads, we dug in but the vinaigrette was so strong, I couldn't eat it without grimacing. I ordered the chicken piccata. It was drowning in capers. That is all I could taste. It was so briny and salty that I could barely eat half of the portion they gave me. The chicken was also a little tough to cut through. I would be willing to try again. I never leave one experience to take over my whole perception.

The owner/chef came out to introduce himself since he was informed that my wife and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. This was our first time ever at the restaurant and I am disappointed that while living in Peoria, IL for 50 years I never had been there before. Now it's the only place I will go out to dinner at when I am in Peoria. The address is actually listed as 3218 N. Dries Lane in Peoria, IL and is across from the old Landmark Theatre on Dries Ln. You can actually locate it off of University St. also.

Food was phenomenal, the potatoes that came with my dish were perfectly cooked and had great flavor…read moredepth. However, I run into a few problems with the cook on my steak, and the plating. This dish was 57$ and I requested the steak be cooked medium rare but more on the rare side. My steak was bordering blue rare. It tasted amazing regardless. I also wish to add that the plating was sloppy, obviously this is just nit picking, but it is something I wished to include. Service was alright, I had to ask multiple times for my sparkling water that I had ordered. This was during a work party and we had a group of around 10 while the restaurant was already pretty full so I understand how it could have slipped their mind, however at a restaurant as professional as this I would have expected better regardless.

The same grapes hanging from the ceiling, the mural of Italy on the wall and a great smell permeating through the restaurant. As for the pizza, as good as it was back then, awesome homemade thin crust (homemade crust is a must in my opinion) , great sauce, the cheese and sausage both had nice flavor as well. Now that I am back living in the area, I look forward to getting to come back. You order at the counter, and the food is brought out to the table. Overall super happy Leonardo's is still making great pizza after all these years!
