Placed order online and was ready when I arrived. Was asked what dressing I wanted with my salad. I was surprised that you get a free side salad with the order. That was nice. Girl at counter was very nice and welcoming. Food was good .just could be a little bigger portion.

4 of us went to dinner there tonight for the 1st time. Food was just ok, the portions were small and not very flavorful, Had to add alot of salt & cheese to my dinner ( shrimp garlic over pasta). We had some clam appetizers, mozzarella & carozz and fried calamari. some of the clams had a fishy smell to them. Mozzarella & carozz was soaked in a tomato sauce, where the sauce should have been served on the side.
Sorry, but we won’t be back.

Leone’s Italian restaurant has some amazing food! As many who read my postings know I would love to give five star ratings to restaurants like this one. Unfortunately, I always save a star for overall wheelchair access. This restaurant can be easily accessed on the bottom portion of the establishment. However there is a steep set of steps if someone wishes to use the bathroom. Making the bathroom, in this otherwise family-friendly, BYOB, restaurant not accessible to people with disabilities.
With that said. The service is outstanding. The owners always come by your table and see how everything is going. This is a sign of a restaurant that cares about its customers and their needs. I had the homemade eggplant and linguine which was piping hot and super fresh. My wife had the shrimp scampi, which could’ve used a little salt but otherwise was pretty tasty. And my mother-in-law had the salmon with pasta which we took a little bite of it was also super tasty. We had some kind of coded mozzarella for an appetizer with a red sauce and that was out of this world. The double espresso was right on point especially after a long day. This was my first time visiting this place which I have missed every single time I have been on this road which is a major road. It is sort of talk back behind a strip mall and another restaurant. It is worth the trip if you want to eat authentic Italian.
The regulars seemed at ease and pretty much everyone had wine at their table which they bought in. There is handicap parking around the side of the nail and hair salon with a curb cut. Some of the cement leading up to the restaurant was cracked so we careful if you’re using a walker or a lightweight wheelchair.

Delicious Lunch Break at Leone’s Trattoria North Brunswick, NJ. @leonestrattoria I got the Mozzarella in Carroza, House Salad, and Pan Seared Salmon served with a white wine, lemon, and Thyme sauce over Florentine Risotto. Everything was perfect! Not crowded on a week day for lunch,very close by and convenient for me.

We went to Leones for dinner.
The mother daughter duo served us and they were really very welcoming and helpful.
The food was definitely one of the best Italian I have tried. The special menu was also pretty interesting and appetizers were also great. Also, bread served was fresh and light. The show stopper was the Lemon cheese cake.
Definitely recommended!!

I never leave bad reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. We were charged gratuity on top of tax, which is completely inappropriate and illegal. The food itself was just okay, but what really ruined the meal was the owner.
I simply asked if the veal Murphy came with cherry peppers (it was served with jalapeños instead), and the owner came over extremely rude and hostile, snapping that it “says hot peppers, not cherry peppers.” From that point on, she stared at our table the entire meal, made comments when we leaned back in our chairs, and even kept making comments about the kids in our party. As someone who works as a restaurant manager myself, I would never treat guests this way. The lack of professionalism and hospitality was shocking. We left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome … definitely would not return ever.

We had both our marriage ceremony and meal there, in the same space. We were a party of 20, including me and my bride. It was great. 5/5.
COMMUNICATION & STAFF
My bride was not local, so I coordinated most of it. I mostly communicated with Samantha at Leone’s. Samantha was clear and, to my recollection, we did not suffer any miscommunication despite all the back-and-forth. I felt she was invested in working towards a good wedding with us. She made clear the limitations of the space while positing ideas to work within them. e.g. we could not control the music, but depending on their other clientele present, we could play some music at certain instances. Since there were no other customers as we started early saturday afternoon, Samantha played the wedding march. I hadn’t even thought about that little detail; it was completely her idea.
FOOD
The food was great. I personally think it’s difficult to find bad italian/italian-american food in New Jersey, and Leone’s was no exception. The bread was heaven! Everyone enjoyed a solid 3-course meal. We didn’t bring our own alcohol, but Leone’s was clear that we could if we wanted to. Additionally, we enjoyed this food at a fair price. We definitely received our money’s worth.
SPACE
The space was “semi-private”. There’s a larger area for any incoming clientele on the first level. Overlooking them is a second level as a loft or long balcony; this is where we did our ceremony and meal.
Once again, thanks to Samantha’s creativity and flexibility, we were able to do a “walk down the aisle” from the entrance of the restaurant leading to the upper level loft where we had our ceremony. The space allowed for all of our guests to sit at one long table (multiple tables put together) while we did our ceremony in front of them.
We decorated it ourselves, though it was helpful that the restaurant already had a fresh flower on every table. We put our arch against the wall at the end; there our pastor spoke and married us. Where our arch was set, we had ample space to do a first dance as well as take photos with our guests. The loft only had space for us two to dance (I guess if you rent out the whole space you’d be able to have group dancing? Certainly not if you go semi-private.) My family hid my small speaker that we used to play our song for the first dance under a separate table. The restaurant just lowered their music when it was time to play ours.
All in all 5/5 stars. We’re very grateful to Samantha, Humberto, and the rest of Leone’s Trattoria’s staff for making our special day so special!

Been going to this restaurant for years and never had anything but an excellent meal. From pasta which is always fresh and tastes homemade to fish. Today had the special halibut. Made it the way I like over linguini with garlic oil. Owners are sweethearts. Go out of their way to make you feel like family!

Great place for good Italian food
They offered a fluke Francese that was excellent. It just needed a little more pasta. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Will return.

I came in for a quick dinner and ordered pizza. The pizza was okay, but not great ….. not quite as good as I expected. But I came to realize that this is really more of an Italian restaurant that happens to offer pizza, than it is a true pizza place. I have no doubts that the entrees here are really really good! I just happened to order the one thing that they don’t seem to specialize in. I wouldn’t get pizza here again, but I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and get an Italian dish the next time I’m in the area at dinner time.
I also want to add that the entire staff were very friendly and happy, and that my waitress, Linda, was especially great!
