OMG I can't even begin to explain how delicious this place is!!! Try any and everything if you go...I have NEVER had a bad dish here. Chicken Parm is to die for :) read more

Their food is good but their service is horrible. I have been here twice, the first time the waitress forgot to put my order in and the second time she got my order wrong. They don't pay attention to what you say and they rarely come to ask if you need anything. Both times I went during the day and the palace was empty so they can't blame it on being busy. The food also takes forever to come out, you'll be there for a while so don't come here for a quick lunch. read more

BYOB!!! go to the liquor store around the corner before you go. It is a casual atmosphere. The portions were generous (wear your fat pants!), and everything was very tasty. I went with a group and we ordered a mushroom pizza, calamari(ginger), soup(butternut squash?) pastas, and chicken dishes. Everyone was happy with the food, and we had left overs. Parking could be difficult at times, but there are also lots close by. read more

Arrived 7pm for an Outpost in the Burbs show at 8. The owner took considerate interest in making sure the hostess knew that and they really made it happen. So 4 stars for that effort. Busy place, can only say the other entrees and pizza orders looked great. Was told to order pasta, that was the quickest dish with our time constraints. A Spinach salad, nicely dressed was a good starter, the pasta was al dente perfect wit shrimp in a very tasty cream sauce. Recommended highly. They even have a wine delivery system to make up for the BYOB who forgot to BYOB. Within minutes, no kidding, hung up and the delivery was there, 1/2 bottles reasonably priced a real plus feature. Got to go back and try some of the other dishes. The Clams with Linguine at the next table looked quite good. A+ to the Leone's staff. read more

I really hated this place. The staff was rude and just acted like they are doing you a favor to take your money. Save yourself the trouble.

We were in Montclair to go to a show at the Wellmont Theater. Montclair has a lot of upscale pricey restaurants but that's not what we were looking for. We were seeking a reasonably priced restaurant with good food close to the theater and Leone's filled that need perfectly. The food was very good, a nice atmosphere, excellent service and walking distance to the theater. They serve traditional Italian food fresh, prepared well and tasty. read more

Well this is just what I had hoped for. An Italian restaurant that delivers traditional food with great service. Started with the spinach bruschetta and arugula salad followed by shrimp parmigiana and the veal special. The food was plentiful and delicious. There was a great amount of space and the staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back! read more

As a first timer I enjoyed the Margherita pizza but it was not the best I've had. The house salad had a white dressing that tasted weird. The four cheese pizza left a lot to be desired. The staff was friendly and professional however. read more

The food here is good....pizza is good...avocado bruschetta is amazing and the brunch menu is great. The only problem is that it takes forever for food to come out of the kitchen. The waitstaff is always apologetic about the wait times....it literally is the same nonsense every time I go, which is a shame because the food is good. read more

It pains me to say that this was a below expectations experience for me, I was quite excited for this experience but disheartened by the results. We ordered three waters and a Diet Coke for the table and the water looked like dish water and the soda was flat. As we drank our dish like water we watched a waitress spill water at the table next to us and act like nothing happened. The pizza was also below my expectations, truly a saddening experience. We also asked for ketchup for our fries but we finished them before it even got there. Along with that we asked for bigger plates for our pizza as we never got any and the waitress was almost annoyed, truly an upsetting experience. I will not be back. read more

I have to say, being Italian and all, best pizza I have had in the area! I highly recommend the penne vodka pizza, super delicious. The service is not that great when you go there which is why I had to give 4 stars in stead of 5, but delivery is great, the delivery guy was super nice and punctual. Not sure why when you go in there they barely greet you, which is why if they didn't offer delivery I probably wouldn't go back/ order even though the food is amazing. service is at least 50% of an establishment. Wish they more friendly when dining in, otherwise I totally recommend trying their food! read more

This place has an exceptional menu list. The food was so divine it melted in my mouth. I ordered the chicken Parm and my friends got pesto pizza and fettuccine Alfredo. I got to try each one of their meals and everything was well cooked and tasted homemade. I would definitely recommend this place. The service can improve but that's due to low staff. I would have liked to be more attended to but Leone's still deserves 5 stars. They have excellent pizza and Italian styles food choices. read more

I was skeptical at first, but I am definitely a fan of this place. The decor is deceiving for the quality of entrees they put out. Their Orecchiette Bolognese is a true stand out! a true Bolognese sauce which is mainly meat based, not just a tomato sauce with some meat thrown into it. Their Eggplant Parm is super light and flavorful... and lastly, the prices! read more

If this review was only based on service, I'd give it 5 stars. The hostess, owner, and our server went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great experience. They made my sister's birthday special. Thank you, Leone's! read more

Please do yourself a favor and order the spinach bruschetta- you're welcome!!!! The Margarita pizza that I had for dinner was delicious, the sauce and cheese were very fresh and the dough just perfect. Nice place to eat in the summer- good out door seating and best of all BYOB read more

I absolutely love this place. The staff is friendly, food is delicious, and it's byob so you can have your favorite beverage and save a few bucks. read more

I just happened to be in from out of town and decided to try this place. I had a chicken and pasta dish that was pretty good, I think its the best Ive had in a long while. The chicken was tender and not stringy and the pasta was cooked and seasoned just right. The service was pretty good, I did have to wait for a refil but other than that it was great. The place was clean and tidy. If I was in the area again, I would visit again. read more

I ordered the grilled chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli off the lunch menu, really happy with it. With delivery I paid under $10 before tip so that's great. Only thing is, it was pretty light on the potatoes and I didn't like the rosemary seasoning (only reason for 4 stars and not 5) but other than that everything was great. Lots of broccoli and chicken and it also came with a side salad and some bread. The dressing on the salad was really strong so next time I'll get it on the side. I'll definitely order again. read more

Heading to Leone's in Montclair NJ. Always looking forward to a great meal. It does get crowded at times, so you should probably call ahead. It is my family's favorite pizzeria ever. Always a special trip. read more

At first when you walk in you think this will be a run of the mill pizza place. but glance to the right and there is a larger than expected dining room, with another almost party type room attached. The decor is, interesting to say the least but not off putting at all. Funny thing is even though it is a pizza place none of us had the pizza that night. We started with the calamari and we got both hot and sweet sauce to go with. The calamari itself was great, lightly battered and cooked to perfection, certainly not greasy and heavy that leads to the impending icky feeling in your stomach one can get from eating overcooked calamari . As for the sauce I liked the sweet alone better than the hot, however if you mix the two it was great, the hot in my opinion is not spicy really but has more of that red pepper flake flavor, but then again I like pretty spicy food so test it out to make sure it is within your threshold before piling it on. Our entrees were, Lobster Ravioli, which was a special that day, Stuffed flounder, and Rigatoni Leone. I didn't try the ravioli myself but heard it was really good but I mean how can you really go wrong with lobster ravioli?!?!?! The Rigatoni was amazing, the sauce was so light compared to the usual heavy vodka sauce that you typically find, and I will say the Mozzarella on the top had a slight tang to it that made it seem like it was actually home made, whether it actually was, I can not attest to. The stuffed flounder was good I actually really enjoyed the stuffing but the fish itself left a little bit to be desired, but then again it was flounder so I shouldn't have expected too much from it. The fish itself want bad I personally think the fish would have worked better with a lighter flavored fish maybe halibut or scrod or something like that, but then again that is just my opinion. It was fresh but had some bones in it, I am not sure if it was brought in already filleted (sp?) or if it was done in house, so not exactly sure who to blame for that (granted it wasn't a huge deal at all). I did really enjoy the stuffing itself, you could really taste the crab (looked and tasted real and was a far cry from imitation which is always a plus,i hate when restaurants say crab and you see the fakey imitation in your dish) and shrimp so it wasn't all breading with one shrimp and a piece of fake crab thrown in. The white wine sauce that went with it which was once again light and savory not overly buttery at all, just soaked in to the breading at the bottom and made the last few bites so satisfying! All in all it was a good meal, our service was ok and more attentive than some of the other posts put but I wont say it was spot on excellent, and at times we had to seek our server or whoever we could flag down to get water or drink refills, however the food was good enough that it definitely made up for the spotty service. read more

Love this place. I order from here for work catered events. Chicken piccata, chicken parm, orrachetti bolognese, angel hair pasta, baked ziti, mixed veggies and Caesar salad is always delicious and fresh. The Margherita pizza here is my fav personal dish. read more

I'm on vacation and came here for some good pizza and it was excellent service was great food was out of this world can't wait to come back for my next visit read more

Great food and decent prices..best part it's a BYOB. Pizza is great, had salmon dish a few times- very happy.

The staff are down to Earth and very friendly, but my waitress ignored me a little bit because she was chatting a lot with another table. The atmosphere was nice and not too pretentious. I had the Chicken Formagio with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. The chicken was layered with ham and cheese and was outstanding. read more

My absolute favorite casual Italian restaurant in Montclair! Staff is always friendly and attentive. It is BYOB. Pizza always comes out fresh and delicious. I had their chicken Alfredo and it was perfect. Not too heavy and not too creamy, just right. The staff never rush you or try to push you out. Great for date night and group parties. read more

Came here for a nice brunch date on Saturday. The food was okay, fair priced for how it came out I guess. The service wasn't great. It took forever to get our food. They did have a good brunch selection. read more

My boyfriend and I saw Leone's on a rerun of kitchen nightmares. Needless to say, we wanted to try it! His mom and sister came to visit and we went here for lunch. I ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken was really good! His sister ordered the same and enjoyed it. His mom ordered the lasagna which looked unappealing to me but she said it tasted good. My boyfriend got the rigatoni di manzo and it was really good. The sauce had a lot of flavor and the meat was tender. The service wasn't bad. Our waitress, Dana, was great! She was kind and attentive. Overall, I think they have a good thing going and if you're looking for good food at an affordable price, come to Leone's. read more

Love this place, one of my favorites in Montclair! Best GF pizzas around!

Can not say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. Have been here so many times and from the service to the food everything is amazing. The owner himself is also SO nice and always seems to be at the restaurant any time I have gone in. If you are looking for authentic Italian food in Montclair or a nearby neighborhood this is a must to try! read more

Ate here tonight and I thought the food was decent enough for the prices. Montclair has better restaurants but I would come back here for Sure. The Italian bread put on the table was not the freshest and a little disappointing. The spinach salad with goat cheese, cranberries and vinaigrette dressing was very good. Additionally, I had the CAPPELINI ANGELICA- with mushroom, broccoli rabe and goat cheese in pink sauce which was very good. Service was friendly but very slow. I think two people were waiting on all the tables. It was a Tuesday night perhaps the place is not normally crowded on this night and they were understaffed? read more

Not crazy about the new decor in comparison to the place previously, however the food is fantastic! I suggest to try the specials. The service is always a pleasure too. ! And the pizza is a double yummy! One of the best pizza places in Montclair. Always DELISH! read more

Good slices, both plain and the penne vodka. Not sure how they get the pie to saucy but still so crispy, but they do! Wraps and sandwiches are good too, great Parmesan fries! read more

Love love the food here!!! From the dip to the dessert is amazing! It's BYOB so you can drink your fave wine and eat all the pizza you want. I had margherita pizza.. I can still taste the herbs and tomato sauce! The chicken marsala was deeelish and lastly the tiramisu.. just amazing. Another big plus: Terry was our waitress! Make sure to ask for her she's amazing! read more

Great staff, you are never in a rush when you are seated (even when it is close to close!). From the pizza to the salad and entrees, everything is authentic, simple and delicious. Highly recommend sitting outside and BYOB in the summer months. Good place to go with friends or a large group to sit inside and hear everyone/ sit back and have fun. Very affordable for the location and food quality. read more

Try the chicken Marsala brick oven pizza. This is the best and most incredible pizza around. Great food, great staff, what else could you ask for? read more

Pizza was very thin and the sauce was a tad salty. It was edible, but definitely not what I'd expect from a premium brick oven pizza restaurant. read more

Great place food is awesome I tried many things all great a must visit Our server was the best try the pizza brick oven

Spontaneous lunch at Leone's was the most delicious Italian food I've had in years. We had stuffed mushrooms, pear salad and spinach ravioli with shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes and pink sauce. Michael was a very gracious host after our waitress apologetically brought out each person's plates not on time (really only a few minutes apart). I didn't think it was a huge deal, but the way Michael made up for this (with some very delicious cannolis) added to the already great tasting experience. So, five stars for food, customer service and a good space inside and out on this sunny day. We'll definitely be back for the brick oven pizza I spotted on other folks' tables. read more

We live around the corner and get the food from there at least once a week. Mostly it's a slice of plain pizza (for $2.00 a slice it is super good), but if we need informal restaurant we don't feel ashamed to bring an active toddler- that's the place we usually end up. We had multiple family out of town dinners there because the place is not cramped. They have a lot of space inside and huge seating area outside in warm weather. I knocked down a star only because their service- waiters know me already but I feel that they are not really on top of their game. The food is not super sophisticated but pretty good. I often get portabello mushroom panini from lunch menu and husband gets ginger calamari and eggplant rollatini. Prices are good for Montclair. read more

Excellent food at Leones! Love the Ginger Calamari and the Avocado Bruschetta! Mike and his team do a great job making you feel at home and feeding you well. read more
