    Large White Cheese Pizza with Regular Crust and 8 slices
    Alexandria S.

    Ordered carry out for a large white regular crust cheese pizza for lunch on Super Bowl Sunday. Delicious pizza with a perfect ratio of sauce to cheese to dough! Not too oily but definitely not dry. Pizza was ready in 15 minutes-- great service! Friendly employees and speedy service :)

    Mozzarella, cheddar, jalapeños, mushrooms, Beyond burger, and hot honey!

    Best pizza in Portland, hands down. Maybe even the state of Maine. I've yet to find another pizza that has more flavor than Leo's. They use fresh veggies and SLAMMIN' flavorful mozzarella. They have so many options- vegan, veg, meaty, gluten free- and you can build your own pizza super easily. Their cheesy garlic breadsticks are amazing, their Nutella sticks are amazing.... their delivery arrives SO FAST and the food is still SO HOT. Can't say enough about Leo's. The friendly staff and easy online ordering make them no doubt a five star place.

    This is the BEST pizza we've had in Portland. PERIOD. I'm not kidding when I tell you I am still dreaming about our pizza from Leonardo's. It was a Friday night, drinks were being served, and naturally a pizza was the only thing missing. We decided to order Leonardo's for the first time and went on their very user friendly website to order one of their specialty pizzas. Everything looked amazing on their menu, but we decided to go for the Fennel & Sausage pizza, and I truly don't think we can ever go back now. They nailed absolutely everything about it - the crust, the cheese, the sausage, all of it. We also did a side of their cheesy bread and it was some of the best cheesy bread I've had. The pizza was also fairly priced for how big and packed it is. We obviously had leftovers, which tasted just as good the next day. Delivery fees were also affordable, especially for the Portland area, and they quickly delivered the pizza to us. We will be ordering again very soon. I think we found our pizza go-to.

    I must have driven by the modest little blue and white storefront that is Leonardo's on Forest Ave. before deciding to give the pizza a try, and I'm super glad I did! I've tried some of the other Portland pizza places and they've been good, but Leonardo's has become my favorite. Pizzas are clearly their specialty (there are a few chicken and salad sides too), and you can either build your own or there's a great list of their original combos. I love the Pickle Pepper Ranch: shown in the photo with a few modifications (I swapped out the roasted red peppers for banana peppers, and added black olives and pepperoni). The online ordering system appears a bit dated at first, but it's actually easy to use and thorough--you choose your crust and can make any modifications you want! Easy! Gluten-free options available if you want them too. Toppings are fresh, generous, and tasty. Takeout only, FYI.

    Best vegan cheese I've ever had on this broccoli mushroom pizza
    Melissa D.

    From the outside, this place could easily be overlooked. It's a place you might drive by and think "hmm...hit or miss." But it is a HIT. Leonardo's makes delicious, gooey, loaded pizzas that I think are the best in Portland, and it is always a great bang for your buck. There is nothing particularly fancy about the place itself, but they have mouth-watering pizza at good prices and the staff are always friendly. Plus they deliver for free! My favorite thing to get is the vegan pizza. It has melt-in-your-mouth vegan cheese and is loaded with fresh veggies.

    Yeah, they have good pizza with nice vegetarian options and, amazingly, whole wheat crust option. But why would I review Leonardos now after all these years? Because I just discovered they have the only BAKED chicken tenders I know! And they're delicious. No bready crumby deep fried nonsense. Just tender chicken and spices. Loved them! Sriracha option was tasty and spicy. Fav pizza is fennel sausage on whole wheat but we just tried the loaded and it was excellent. Nice that they still distribute coupons locally.

    Chicken wings from Leonardo's
    Kim S.

    This is the chicken they gave me last night. Sad part is when I came back and told them about it they were smiling if not LAUGHING!! And definitely not surprised at all about it. Still feel sick to my stomach.

Perfect for a date night! Our server, Hannah, was great. She suggested an excellent bottle of wine that complimented all of our dishes. Customer service was a solid 10/5! This is a place to definitely add to your Portland dining list! To start, all of the dishes were wonderful portions and could easily be shared between two people. Which I absolutely love because I enjoy trying as many things as I possibly can! Arancini: This was a great starter. Absolutely delicious. I have yet to meet an arancini that I don't love. 5/5. Caesar Salad: A perfect dish that is light and necessary before getting into a heavy entree. The salad was crisp, delicious, very fresh, and a must order. 5/5. Scallop Risotto: This was a large position that had scallops in every bite! It wasn't too heavy, was not too salty, and you could taste the freshness in the ingredients. Dessert is not pictured, but it is worth ordering! The entire dessert menu was excellent!

My daughter had been wanting to go to Via Vecchia for a while but couldn't afford it on a college student's income. So we went during my visit. My hopes were high as we walked in--a beautiful glass enclosure at the entrance that was draped with ceiling to floor ivy; an intimate but lively atmosphere; and an offering of creative cocktails...my enthusiasm quickly vanished when our appetizers arrived. We ordered the focaccia, grilled octopus, and Caesar salad. The focaccia was soggy and flavorless. Even the olive oil that accompanied the bread was flavorless. The grilled octopus was another disappointment--there were more cloves of garlic than pieces of octopus. And what little octopus was there, a third of it was charred to black. Thankfully, the Caesar salad was fresh and fairly tasty. Ironically the focaccia croutons were the highlight of the salad. Then the entrees arrived--chicken Marsala and a spicy shrimp pasta in cream sauce (can't remember the name of the dish). My daughter liked the second dish enjoying the slight kick of whatever pepper/spice was used in the recipe. For me, it was just okay. The biggest disappointment however was the chicken Marsala--the gnocchi was overcooked, the entire dish itself was too salty, and the chicken--overcooked in some parts and fairly tender in others--tasted like it came out of a can. Quite honestly, I don't know what all the hype is about. This restaurant is mediocre at best. Perhaps the cocktails numb everyone's tastebuds to the overly salty but otherwise bland dishes. It was not worth the money and I would never go again. If this is the best that Portland has to offer by way of fine Italian dining, I'd say it's time Portland redefined the meaning of "fine".

With an 8pm reservation for Wednesday, we were seated promptly at 7:50pm. This lovely restaurant has a young, welcoming vibe. It's a mix of high-end dining (Italian) with a somewhat casual atmosphere (blue jeans). If you seek a formal "suit and tie" dining establishment, Leeward is not ideal. Although it is pricey, Leeward has many pluses. First, the service here is outstanding. Second, the wood floors, cork decorated walls, open space, and candles provide a nice ambience. Third, the food is delicious and ideal for sharing appetizers. We ordered several items, including focaccia (the olive oil is wonderful), and the Maine Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio (our favorite!). The Gnocchi Fritto with prosciutto is a must-order appetizer for groups. We then each ordered a pasta dish. I devoured the tagliatelle, which had fava beans. My wife enjoyed the radiatore (with pine nuts). My sons both ordered the rigatoni (but one disliked the heavy Bolognese sauce). Glad we were able to enjoy a celebratory dinner in Portland! Leeward contributes to the strong "foodie" reputation of the city.

We are so lucky to walk up at 8 pm and get a table. Not any table, but next to the kitchen. It was so awesome to sit there and watch their masterpieces come to life. The amount of pans and flames on the fire was pretty cool. We waited a bit for our waiter, but once he arrived he was attentive and did well. Bread service was delicious. Butter cokes our very cold, we used the candle to warm it. They wait staff got a chuckle out of that and said rush cooks give us melted butter. Ha ha We ordered the grilled octopus as an appetizer. Deliciously prepared and cooked. Mmmm. I ordered the special--Tuna Ragu My husband sword fish Swordfish was a little over cooked but the flavor was very good. Fish. Delicious. Now let's talk about the tuna Ragu. It was the most delicious strange thing I've had yet on this trip. My Brain was like... why is there fish in this pasta and my tastebuds are like who the heck cares this amazing. The homemade pasta was delicate and fluffy yet cooked al dente and soaked up all the sauce/gravy. The tuna had a slight fish taste, but it was fresh- perfect and not over whelming. There had to be a spicy sausage hidden in there because every other bite was bursting with a spicy hint. Absolute perfection! They tried to give us the dessert menu, but we were so full. If you can get in on a walk in night. Definitely do it!

It's likely we just showed up during an off day/time but left more disappointed than excited. Booked a reservation for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary of when we started dating and they did include a card thanking us for choosing to celebrate it with them. Was a nice little touch. Inside has a rustic feeling vibe and the low ceilings does make it quite loud. Our server eventually greeted us and took our drink orders. I had a spicy tequila cocktail called Kissies and Poppies while my wife had a gin based cocktail called Secret Garden. Both were decent but nothing special enough to rush back for. Appetizer wise the only one on their menu during our visit was freshly sliced prosciutto which was tasty but did not stand out anymore than your typical grocery store prosciutto. For the main event and the purpose of checking them out my wife got the Shrimp Linguine in Butter and Garlic. I gave their Grilled Lobster Linguine in Butter and Garlic a try. Both dishes had great flavor and they did not skimp on garlic! Lobster does come in shell and our server did warn us. Despite the good taste the slow service really left a sour taste in our mouths. Our reservation was for 9:30 PM (showed up a bit early) and didn't receive food til almost 10:30 or after and we ordered relatively quick. Our server did come over once during our wait saying it would be soon. Though once we got our food the server didn't check on us again til we finished. Maybe it was due to being part of the last meals being served. Not a great excuse but who knows, extremely lackluster service for a higher end spot that should make you feel welcome! We did skip out on dessert to avoid more waiting. Im glad so many people enjoy this spot, but if my wife and I are feeling a nicer dinner we will go elsewhere!

It's unique and it's simple -- but the flavors created are something to keep coming back for. In my most recent visit, we had a pretty bad experience leading up to the pizzas actually being served. We had some friends visiting and decided to go to grab pizza after sending a small group back to the mainland on the 6 o'clock boat. Our order must have been placed maybe 5 or 10 minutes after 6... we weren't served our first pizza until after 8 PM. And our second pizza lagged behind that one by nearly 10 minutes. I can understand how, taken out of context, this can be seen as a petty complaint. However, it really was a discouraging experience because we had multiple (at least half a dozen) other groups order well after us and enjoy their entire dining experience all around us. The group ordering behind us enjoyed their pizzas, bottles of wine and chit chatted for nearly a half hour after their indulgences... and still rode off in their golf cart before our pizzas even made it into the oven. The part that really baffled me was that we took the opportunity to speak with the staff about what was causing the delay -- simply asking if our pizza order had been started or not yet and the explanation was "our team has made several mistakes this evening and we don't have a good estimate on how long it'll take for your pizzas to be ready". We got the same explanation after waiting for 45 minutes and again after nearly an hour and a half. It seemed like a pretty inadequate answer when their wood-fired oven was often not full of cooking pizzas and their entire staff was dancing to the music playing on their speakers. In the end... the pizza was good (same quality as expected). But my experience left something to be seriously desired.
