    Mike was an amazing server! We will always request him at our future visits. So personable, funny, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The limoncello crème brûlée was out of this world!! The steak an poivre is still our top steak dish on Cape. Espresso martinis were an excellent way to end the meal. Another fantastic dinner at Leonessa!! You can count on us being back!

    Everything was great. But will not be retuning ... Was VERY disappointed when I asked if I could substitute carrots for another vegetable was told "THE CHEF SAID NO" and was told that I would have to order a separate side vegetable for AN ADDITIONAL $10.00. Very poor petty descision.

    My wife and I started with the cheese plate which was delicious.For mains my wife had the spicy crab and pasta which was delicious. I had the short rib risotto which was also delicious. The service provided by Michael was great ( as always as we’ve had him as our waiter in previous visits) We’ve eaten here about half a dozen times and this meal may have been the best yet. We’ll be returning soon.

    One of the best meals I’ve had on the cape and south shore! Short rib risotto was absolutely delicious. The short rib was cooked perfectly and the risotto was mushroom forward. The veal Milanese was also lovely. Impressive wine list and service was impeccable. Will be returning soon!

    Service was Exceptional. Food was delicious. Wish you had gluten free bread service. Unfortunately table so close to us came in after us and woman was wearing very strong overpowering perfume that made Me sick to my stomach. Not much you can do with it but I feel for the server Who had to keep going to the table as Well.

    Leonessa has the best duck in New England. It is always prepared perfectly and satifies a hungry palate.
