    Food was delicious and service was great! We found the cocktail and dessert prices to be expensive compared to other restaurants of the same caliber. However, the overall dining experience was fantastic.

    Another phenomenal meal at Leonessa on Christmas Eve. Service was well timed and professional. Every item was perfectly prepared.We shared  beef carpaccio, beef tartare, halibut Crudo and white anchovies to start..Each appetizer was outstanding. Kudos to the kitchen !For our mains, we had the Chilean Sea bass special, duck ,steak, and veal with manicotti.. always an excellent meal at Leonessa but it was particularly memorable last evening .

    We visit Massachusetts 2 times a year and it is a must to have dinner at Leonessa. Last nights Chefs special home made ravioli with shrimp was incredible. Our waiter Liam was also fantastic…. With so much to choose from (and I wanted one of each) he help me make great choices…. Thank you Liam. Looking forward to coming back in the fall.

    This was our second visit. We invited friends to join us and we had an incredible meal. The food is elevated Italian and all of us agreed that this is a very special dining experience. The choices range from traditional dishes to some unique ones that we really enjoyed. The wine list is extensive with choices from around the world. The room is quite noisy but the food is so amazing that we didn't notice. Service was friendly and professional with a particularly good wine recommendation. Bravo!

    Second time here. Food excellent and delightfully different from the norm for Cape restaurants. Service is also top notch. Could easily become our weekly go to restaurant EXCEPT —- the level of noise, at least in the room where we have been seated on both occasions, was intense. We had to lean across the table to hear what we were saying to each other. Noise levels on our first visit were very bad, this time even worse. Although we love the food, due to the unacceptable noise level we’ve experienced on both of our visits, we are unlikely to return. How very sad indeed.
    LeonessaResponded 5 days ago
    Hello and thank you for leaving your thoughts- while it is true we are a busy lively place, each of our unique dining areas are small and therefore lend itself to higher noise levels depending on the unpredictability of the guests that are in the room. We are also always looking at ways to improve the acoustics and we hope you consider another visit soon.
