Service was flawless, five stars.
Atmosphere was also an easy five stars – clean, attractive, modern and featuring ample natural light at lunch.
Appreciated the complimentary bread and olive oil/parmesan dip, 3 stars for quality and flavor.
The strawberry/arugula salad, and the mushroom pizza, were both enjoyable.
If I might give a bit of constructive criticism, there should be a red-sauced vegetarian pasta option, or at least a vegetarian vodka sauce. Also, I love pesto pasta, but here’s the thing: it would be far better to make a vegetarian version, and charge a little extra for added chicken, than to make chicken standard in the dish and charge a vegetarian for the meat they ask to be omitted.
The surprise star of the show was the gooey butter cake with vanilla gelato and strawberries. Holy cow, I’m still dreaming about it.
These are great folks; they were most gracious in helping me out when I forgot something in the restaurant. They earned my respect, and I’ll be back.

We came here on our anniversary and had a lovely time. Hayley was so nice and made great recommendations. The cauliflower bites were delicious, the handmade pasta and sausage delicious, and I can’t say enyhow delicious the gooey butter cake was. Hayley also made great drink suggestions, and the complementary champagne was a sweet touch. We’ll definitely return!!

Not busy on Saturday evening. We were able to get seated promptly.
Staff were very friendly. Waitress was very attentive and checked on us often.
Food – bread was great. Soft and flavorful. Main entrees were ok. Really didn’t taste anything exceptional. But did get good sized portions.
We unfortunately waited about 40 minutes for our main entrees after ordering. And we saw many groups that were seated before us get their food after us. Kitchen staff could have been short this night.
Parking is shared amongst all the other businesses in this area. Expect to have a short walk.

First time here even though I’ve lived in Asheville for about a year. Wasn’t impressed. We went around 3pm and the place was empty, which was a plus. Even with the slow business, the server seemed preoccupied. I got the meatball as an app and it was pretty good. It’s weird for a single medium-sized meatball to be 14 bucks, though. The bread I got was undercooked in the centered but tasted nice. For my main dish, I got the rigatoni. It was ok. Wasn’t the best, but it was hot. My partner had a hair in their food, which we told the server, and he had it replaced. The second round, the food wasn’t hot. The manager we assumed came by and took the food off the bill, which was nice. I don’t think I’ll be going back. It’s just not worth the money.

Sent back the Arancini because it was more like a hush puppy, there were about 6 grains of rice in them and very little cheese. The pasta in the bolognese was overcooked. The zucchini appetizer which replaced the arancini was ok, but not very crispy. We won’t be back.

First time here, it was dead. I noticed the tables were pretty sticky. Our server was friendly. We got the meat ball to start. It was pretty good. I ordered the lobster and shrimp pasta. The longed haired guy brought it out and was friendly he offered to put pepper or parm on it. I agreed. A few bites in I noticed a hair I told our server, and he took it back and apologized. I waited the second pasta came out again. The gentleman that was friendly before wasn’t this time and didn’t offer any pepper or parm. This time the noodles were stuck together. I ate a bite or two and I was done. Then another gentleman came up after I finished he didn’t introduce himself and asked me how was the second round I told him. He said the chef didn’t have any hair, but the one hair he had came off. He took it off. It’s overall a decent place I probably won’t return if I’m being honest. It’s just hard to find a good place to eat in this area.

Made reservations while in town this weekend and was thoroughly impressed by the service, food and the atmosphere of Leo’s Italian Social. We were greeted and seated promptly upon arrival. Our server (Katie) was AWESOME! She was very friendly and attentive. She was knowledgeable about the menu and even made drink suggestions. I had the Smoked Old Fashioned (amazing) and my girlfriend had an Airo Spritzer(I think that’s what it was). For an appetizer we had the calamari, which we try everywhere we go and let me say “They got it right”. From the breading to how it was cooked. I also like the little pieces of fried jalapeños. For me, I had the Lasagna, which was very favorable and balanced. Not too saucy but just right. My girlfriend had the Chicken Scalliopini which she enjoyed as well. For dessert, we went with everyone’s favorite the Gooey Butter Cake. All in all, We had a great experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I moved to Asheville last year and always wanted to try this place and tonight I decided to do it for a friends birthday and LOVED IT! First the staff: The manager was extremely nice to us, she came by and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying everything. Our server was VERY attentive and sweet! The food was FANTASTIC- All I have to say is get the Pesto Pasta, it was AMAZING my friends tasted it and almost lost their minds on how flavorful it was! Also they have live music with actual good performers! I WILL be back and bringing family/friends to dine here. Wonderful experience!

The Food and our Server was tremendous! Oscar, our wonderful server, was very knowledgeable about the menu and polite. He suggested the Fried Cauliflower which was so flavorful and delicious. The Pork Sticky ribs were amazing as well. Will be back!

Good location if you are going to the movies or spending time in Biltmore Park. Variety of seating options. Full bar with fun specialty cocktails. Pizza is wood fired perfection. I really enjoyed the pepperoni with cherry peppers for extra zest. Chicken carbonara was flavorful and not dry.
