Favorite Italian restaurant in Hoboken...have been coming here for years and the entire menu is delicious, especially the Fra Diavolo mussels.
C MFebruary 22, 2017Reasonable prices, good food, attentive service, clean restaurant. Delicious soup, bread, quaint atmosphere. Wish clams oreganato was Leo's old recipe & same quantity of shrimp on parmigiano sandwich.Upvoted 1 week ago
Brandon WernerSeptember 14, 2014Feel like you walked through a time portal back to the Rat Pack days in the best ways possible. If it involves pasta and tomato, it's great here and you will leave with a full happy stomach.
They really revamped entire menu since last time we visited, and also changed up the beer list to include a local brew. Nice improvements!
What's Good HereAugust 6, 2014This is one of Hoboken's hidden gems & best Italian restaurants. Buy a jar of their sauce to go. Cash only, but there's an ATM.
HeenaJuly 24, 2014Definitely get the penne alla vodka if you're vegetarian! Or even if you're not! Enough for two meals.
Patrick SnederDecember 5, 2016Went to try because of the good reviews I saw, but it seems like those reviews are biased. The pizza looks and tastes like the microwave pizzas you can buy at the grocery. Not recommended at all
Living on the HudsonOctober 29, 2010All the food is great! Definitely order a side of meatballs with your dish. They are amazing! The clam cakes are great too. Excellent staff and atmosphere!
Michael KentMay 30, 2011The food can be good to great and varies. Service is usually weak at best heavy on the attitude. Not always the cleanest place as the day goes on. Probably worth passing on.
The menu lists eggplant as a Friday special, but you can actually order it anytime. It's my favorite dish here, highly recommended.
Katie SizeloveSeptember 10, 2011The chicken torrents is delicious, chicken, veg and prosuitto. Awesome.
jon accarrinoMay 18, 2012The chair above the bar is in honor of Frank Sinatra. He never actually ate here.
- Scott PenderDecember 18, 2017Lasagna was decent, but $20+ for a small piece of decent lasagna is a bit much in Hoboken.
Michael NataleDecember 30, 2016I get the draw of tradition. Leo's falls well short of delivering. Only just above microwavable dinners, so stick to simple staples that non-Italians enjoy. Like spaghetti or chicken parm.
Great neighborhood joint - meatballs, red sauce, rabe. What.
Get the garlic bread parm to start. You will not be disappointed!
Andrea DucasFebruary 15, 2014I am sitting in my apartment, waiting for the order I made about 2 hours ago to be delivered. Call the restaurant and inquire, you ask? They don't care. TERRIBLE service.
Everything is good. First timers should try the chicken sorrento. I was forced to my first time.
