10. Leo's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Our quest for excellent Shrimp Scampi Pizza continues which led us to Leo's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. Not too many pizzerias offer shrimp scampi pizza, so trying Leo's was a must. Note that the restaurant and the pizzeria are separate restaurants, each with their own entrance although the kitchen is shared. This was our first visit here and we were informed that one can only order pizza in the more casual pizzeria side of this establishment. Everything else on the menu is available on the pizzeria side, but pizza cannot be ordered on the restaurant side. The shrimp scampi pizza was good, but not great. Garlic is an integral component of anything "scampi", and surprisingly there wasn't enough garlic on this pizza. This was brought home by the addition of some garlic powder -- which should have been quite redundant but was not. Unfortunate. Our table also ordered the Pasta Putanesca, another favorite that is not commonly offered. Leo's did a better job with this dish as it was loaded with capers, black olives, bacon, green onions in a rich marinara sauce. We may return to Leo's, but the search for excellent Shrimp Scampi Pizza continues.

From the day the first Leo's opened in 1981 in Cornwall, we have been a family-owned and operated restaurant. Customers can still find owner Leo Maniscalchi, our dad, flipping pizzas in the kitchen. His real passion is making sure the quality of food and

Service was very good. Food was good. Available in half and full portions. I do feel that there could be more menu options. Atmosphere is nice but not really intimate. Other party was a foot away from us and was listening to our conversations! I would likely try it again when in the area.
7. Enoteca Ama

Finally we have Pizza thatâs actually as good as the Pizza in Italy! The place is clean, modern, open and comfortable. When you walk in, take a deep breath: it smells great! A short and well chosen list of affordable priced wines is offered, and decent wine glasses are used. The grilled Treviso and Endive is delicious: grilled and topped with lightly smoked Scamorza, then passed under the broiler. The selection of Pizzas is terrific, and the dough tastes better than Iâve had from any restaurant in the area. We love it, and weâll be back.

First visit. Food was excellent, wine was excellent, service was superb. We took Dan's recommendations and had no regrets. Specials were wonderful. I highly recommend it. Space is a bit tight, and room is loud. Nevertheless, it was not uncomfortable. In an area filled with wonderful restaurants, it is hard to choose a favorite, but we'll be back here again. Go early, however, unless you don't mind waiting. Bar is nice but it was packed when we left.

Recently this wonderful spot has expanded into a gourmet market and a separate restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The market offers local and internationally produced fine cheeses, charcuterie and an expertly curated assortment of crackers, tapenades, fine chocolate, hand crafted jams and pickles and other delicacies. The owner is very knowledgeable about fine cheese and specialty foods. The restaurant serves Stumptown coffee, has a small but reliable list of Red, White and Sparkling wine offered by the glass or bottle. The menu includes an assortment of baked egg dishes, a Turkish breakfast platter, a long list of grilled or cold sandwiches, that feature specialty cheeses and ham. Their are vegetarian options, I recommend trying the grilled versions. The owner will create a cheese flight or charcuterie platter for you. These are served with sliced baguettes, the bread is chewy and salty. Ask about the daily specials that include soup and quiche. There are many dining options in Beacon, but the Pantry has good service and it is a worthy âcheeseâ destination. Glad that the owner has been able to expand and showcase her delicious food.

This reastaurant was another pleasant surpris. When you 1st enter the place looks so small just like a normal pizzeria, but the owner showed to the back, where there are 2 larger rooms for a full service reataurant. Our waitress was a sweetheart and extermely helpful. The wine was excellent and all of our meals were delicious. Highly recommend this place. Italian owned since this is an Italian restaurant.
