    Only 12 shrimp the size of popcorn shrimp on the Fried Shrimp Platter.

    I regularly eat here, but tonight I have to complain. I usually order a soft drink, but tonight I ordered a glass of water. It tasted AWFUL. Mandina's has had this problem with their drinking water for YEARS, and they don't do anything to correct it. I know several other people who have had this same complaint over the years -- the water tastes like it came from a sewer. There is something REALLY WRONG here, as even water from a faucet doesn't taste like this. I cannot believe that the owner is not aware of it (because multiple people have complained about it), and I further can't believe that they continue to serve nasty tasting water to their customers. How about installing a filter?? Additionally, I ordered a Fried Shrimp Platter, which is about $21. It comes with only fries -- no salad. I'm not talking about a kid's meal. I'm talking about a shrimp platter. This platter came with 12 popcorn shrimp. Seriously?? I have never been to a reputable restaurant where the shrimp platter didn't come with a dozen good-sized butterflied shrimp with tails on. These of course were too small to even butterfly. If they were going to serve shrimp this size, they should have put 36 of them on the platter. Check out the photo (which actually makes them look larger than they were). They should be ashamed to serve something like this.

    Great service! Lasagna was delicious. With the side salad, a filling meal! A decent crowd for a rainy Monday.

Ashleigh not only had the low down on the best foods to order, but she kept up with our table of 5 like we were beloved family. Everything was sooooo good tonight. From the delicious appetizers, to the incredible salad (seriously, you have got to try this Creamy Italian), all the way to this badass softshell crab dish and the most chocolatey-chocolate cake I've had in recent memory. I lost most of notes for this meal, sadly, because it was super delicious and perfect. We did the 5 course meal menu item and I cannot wait to go back and do it again. Highly recommend an evening at Impastato's. And hey, ask for Ashleigh, get her opinions and smiles, and bask in the warmth of how well she'll care for you and your peeps.

Our waitress was friendly, but the service felt a little awkward at times. As for the food, what we ordered didn't really stand out. My husband had the chicken parmesan and I ordered the veal topped with seafood. Both dishes were pretty greasy and just not something we would come back for. The best thing we tried was actually the calamari it was tasty and definitely the highlight of our meal. Not a terrible experience, just not great. For the price and the options in the area, we'd probably choose somewhere else next time.

I had planned to have it for lunch the next day, taking time to crisp the edges in the air fryer before devouring the source of those smells - but alas, it was too great a temptation and I tried a small piece when I got home. Small, meaning like TWO OUNCES that had fallen apart from the main rib into the mound of pasta and chunky red sauce. Sliced garlic, chunky tomatoes, and the essence of beef all through it made for a pretty tasty side dish that I ended up giving to Tiff. I was saving room for the MEAT. So, that little piece that dropped off to tempt me was eaten and savored. It was soooo good. Still, I managed to save the rest of the rib for lunch the next day - I crisped that beautiful short rib up, as promised, and shared the pasta with Tiff - we had a delicious meal and both gave thanks for the food, for Leo and for Ashleigh, the awesome server who packaged the boxes up so beautifully and made sure we were well taken care of even though we took it home. Looking forward to my next visit to Leo's - short rib pizza anyone???

The menu here is always changing which can sometimes be a bad thing however, all the new items and different preparations of the main stays are always delicious. The only bad thing about a menu that changes is your favorite dish may not always be available. Luckily, at this place trying something new typically pays off.

One visit they had a pistachio cheesecake available, which was 10/10. Last year their seasonal sorbet was muscadine, also 10/10. Their wine selection is great and the service is always the best! Food critics typically say a restaurant that gets a 9 out of 10 or higher is worth more than an hour long wait or drive that is a few hours. This place hits that mark for my Wife and I.
