Overview

Description

This classically decorated dining room serves a menu of Italian dishes in a casual environment.

We visited Don Leone on a midweek evening with a large group of colleagues. Despite the rainy weather forcing us inside, the restaurant wasn't too crowded that night. The decor is straightforward and unpretentious, allowing the food to be the star. And on that front, Don Leone largely delivered. We overindulged on a variety of dishes, all presented well and of generally good quality. The only misstep were some overcooked steaks, so be sure to specify your desired doneness. What truly shone, however, was the impeccable service. Our large party was tended to attentively from start to finish. Coupled with a reasonable 50 CHF per person cost including plenty of wine, it made for a very satisfying group dining experience overall. While Don Leone may not wow with fancy decor, it seems to prioritize executing reliable Italian staples backed by hospitality that caters equally well to both large parties and intimate dates. A solid option when craving well-prepared classics in a comfortable, unfussy setting.

I went twice during the week while I was staying at nearby Sihlcity. The Chopfab Weißbier was very good, so I stayed with it for both meals. The Caprese was perfect, with top- quality Mozzarella, tomatoes, olive oil and balsamico. One night's Paccheri with white truffles was excellent, and the other evening I hd linguine with shrimps, also very good. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed, most locals - couples, frinds meeting up and the like, no loud business types. The friends I took there really liked it, too.

Admittedly, I might be addicted. I've been eating across the menu - aperitivi, insalatone, pizze, primi piatti, and vino. I've eaten in and done takeaway, but sitting in the restaurant is delightful as the smell of truffle and sauces and the pizza oven are mouthwatering. The service is very good, but they can be busy, so I recommend savoring the experience. I haven't had dessert yet, but I saw the homemade tiramisu and I won't be able to resist it for long.

We’ve been coming to Don Leone for years, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently outstanding, with authentic Italian flavors that make every visit special. The warm, inviting atmosphere only adds to the experience, creating the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. A special thanks to Francesca, who always goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome.

There is gluten free pizza on the menu, however you may not get it (was served the regular even after checking with the waiter). Gluten-sensitive folks may be fine but they do state that there could be cross contamination. There is no gluten free pasta despite other reviews. Dining partner said the pasta was average. Was charged for an extra water @ 6 CHF for a .5L
