Leonardi's has really good pizza pies. You can order full or half pizzas. They have take out, no seating inside. They do not serve individual slices. But they do have delivery.

We were seated and ignored. Our waitress came by to apologize, and to take our drink order only to disappear. A new waitress stops by to say that she is here to help. She takes our order for appetizers. She brings one, then the second obviously burned! We ask if this is how it should have come out, and she admits, No.We order the salad, eat, and leave.

Went here for dinner with family. We were sat right away. I ordered a house salad to start with balsamic dressing which was decent. Variety of greens and the common veggie variety for a house salad, all fresh.I ordered the shrimp scampi for my entree. It was decent. Good sized shrimp on the top but way too much liquid on the bottom of the bowl. The linguine was definitely not drained enough with that much liquid on the bottom of the bowl.Our waiter was pleasant and courteous. What really upset me was one of their waiters or busboys was vaping in the restaurant in Plain view and on top of that he blew his smoke towards open top water pitchers. The same water pitchers they were using to serve us and other tables. Utterly disgusting and made me promise to never come back to this place again. I didn't think vaping in a restaurant was allowed (not sure on the law) but to visibly blow the smoke at the tops of the open water pitchers is disgusting and unsanitary. I'll never come back to this place.We will look into this. Vaping is not allowed by customers or employees. We do not use pitchers to fill anything what were you referring too. Everyone water is filled at the bar. Please email us some more information. [email protected]

First time there. I have several food restrictions. Got there early to ask questions from Host. Approved instead of soup or salad, a second side dish. Ordered the Veal Marsala. The meat was extremely tender. A decent portion size. Nice surprise at the end when our server said could order for takeout, the exact meal for $ 10 ! The first was $ 23. Included an entire loaf of the Italian bread. We are going there again next month - itâs quite a distance from where we all live. Hope the surprise is still available.

Mahi Mahi was a special. Overdone. âSeasonedâ with salt. Boring dish, not so special. Our friend from out of town said her steak was uninteresting and texture was not pleasing. We were drinking our wine, when unbeknownst to me our out of town guest asked the waitress for some bread. She curtly replied âyou must order first.â I know that is the case at Siena, but our friend, new to the place, did not know. Why should the waitress rebuke her?Good place for wine, pizza, bar. Food and service were not up to par for such a restaurant.

We visited Santora's while staying at a hotel down the street. The restaurant has a large bar and lots of TVs. We sat in the dining area in a booth. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Our pizza was very hot and good. The Caesar salad was fresh, crisp and good. We enjoyed our visit and would return.

Stopped here with friends before a show. I had pan seared Salmon which was GREAT! Friends had Acadia Fish & Chips which looked twrrific. They said it was good. We started with stuffed banana peppers, good but needed 1 more to the serving.Service was outstanding. The noise from the packed bar area was hardly noticeable. I've heard the wood fired pizza is good so we'll haveto go back.

Reviewed By Darlene K
Our table of four was very pleased with our friendly and professional waitress, inviting atmosphere and high quality food. We were greeted by the owner and seated promptly. Fresh and crisp greens in both the Caesar and arugula salads. The Italian bread was freshly baked and yummy (we could have easily eaten a whole loaf!). One guest ordered the Filet mignon, another the strip steak. Both said they were tender and delicious. My husband opted for one of the evening specials, venison, served medium rare. He loved it! I went for the red snapper that was grilled and served with a fennel and fresh tomato reduction. Very tasty but a little on the salty side. All entrees came with roasted potatoes and fresh carrots, zucchini and yellow squash. Our guests had room for dessert and ordered the warmed apple pie served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. They devoured their plates. Restrooms are clean, ample Parking. Although a little pricey, itâs worth it. We will definitely return.
