• private room birthday, party of 25

  I had an amazing experience in Leo’s private dining room for my 30th birthday. From the beginning, the staff were extremely flexible on menu, timing, space, and last minute changes to craft the right experience for me and my party. The space is perfectly intimate with an apartment feeling atmosphere. I felt right at home! Leo teed up staging for the evening with a cocktail hour, apps, and mains - it was paced perfectly with an amazing menu. Food and drinks were top notch. The bartender did a phenomenal job keeping up with a thirsty group of 25 guests for 4 hours. Would highly recommend for birthdays, engagement parties, and other special occasions!

• large group dinner, party of 14

  We had a large party of 14 and the team did an excellent job managing everything. Great wine suggestions and the set menu was delicious.

• birthday dinner, party of 8

  Mandatory family-style prix fixe menu for groups of 8 is $45 per person, which is a good value for the quantity of food however I don't think the pizza is very good. we were served three plates of every course to share, leaving us with more than enough to go around. The marinated olives were a miss, the lemon flavor was quite overpowering, and the focaccia was cold, served with mortadella and salami was standard. The Caesar salad was savory, well dressed. The butter beans; they could have been softer, the savory flavor profile was spot on. As for the pizzas, there was a good sampling: the Hill: The absolute group favorite. The mushrooms and fresh arugula provided a refreshing, savory bite. Piccante Classica: A solid choice for those who enjoy soppressata. San Giuseppe: This sausage tasted too porky flavor for my personal taste. NY Slice Pie: The pecorino was a bit too dominant here. The soft serve, which swirled chocolate with a tart cherry, was refreshing, and the tiramisu was classic. The pacing of the service was good making it a great for a birthday dinner . After adding 3ish bottles of wine for the table, the total came out to approximately $94 per person including tax and tip.

• group dinner attempt, party of 8

  The food and wine here are amazing. The chopped salad is the best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, the people who work here are so consistently unpleasant that it overshadows everything the kitchen does right. The service is curt, unwelcoming, and honestly hostile. I always overlook it because the food is that good, but today was the last straw. The restaurant was empty, per usual. We asked for a table for eight. The hostess told us we needed a pre fixe menu (for a pizza restaurant………..no). We offered to split into two tables of four, but she refused, saying it was still considered a party of eight. There literally were two seated tables in the dining room. It’s baffling that a restaurant with such incredible food would allow this kind of arrogance and incompetence to drive people away. The kitchen deserves better. Sad to say I’m never going back.
