Leah's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Muskego

If I could rate this restaurant 0 stars I would. We wanted to check out a new local restaurant and were already cautious due to reading the consistent low ratings. When we walked in around 8pm, the restaurant was empty and we were the only customers. The vibe seemed to be exactly opposite from an Italian restaurant; there were two TV’s showing college baseball and wresting, the music playing seemed to be from someone’s poorly made Spotify playlist with primarily 80’s music, and the seating setup looked like an old Chinese buffet. There seemed to be only two people working in the entire restaurant, the server and the cook. The server didn’t appear enthusiastic to work there and was mostly on her phone or hovering nearby our table to listen to our conversation. We first ordered the garlic bread which was rock hard, covered in a pool of oil in a basket, and was layered with strong garlic salt on the top of the greasy cheese. We had to stop eating it due to the grease and thought I was going to chip a tooth. The minestrone soup was watery and bland, I swear they took it out of a can since we heard a microwave ding just before they served it to us. We even tried to soak our garlic bread in the soup in hopes of it being edible but it wasn’t. The salad looked like it was thrown onto a plate and had chunks of cheese ripped apart on top, was hesitant to eat this and didn’t want e-coli poisoning since the salad looked dirty and chose to set it aside. As we we eating our appetizers, another lovely couple walked in around 8:20 to dine inside but was rudely walked out by our server and cut them off stating the “kitchen was now closed” even though the restaurant was open till 9 and there was no mention of this on their website that their kitchen closes earlier…. Just poor management and lazy service, the workers I’m sure just didn’t want to stay any longer which is some of the worst customer service I’ve seen in this area. The original “meat” lasagna and manicotti were absolutely horrible, a chef boyardee dinner is probably better quality than what we had. The lasagna had no ricotta or any cheese in the middle and was just two thin noodles with sauce and a 2 inch layer of mozzarella cheese ontop that was stuck to the pan and couldn’t even eat. They were served in 80’s mismatched Corningware dishes that came straight from the oven which was molten lava and bubbling on our table. We had to wait 30 minutes with it sitting on our table before it was safe to eat, and by that point it was almost 9 and it felt like they were rushing us out. Our bill came out to $55 dollars and the food was extremely over priced and poorly made. We love to support local businesses near the area but unfortunately we will not be coming back here at all. I’m surprised this place is still open...

I was referred to Leah’s from a friend, so me and the wife gave it a try. When I was told that this is one of the best lasagna around I had to try! Let me start by saying we did not dine in we did a carry out. So when I get home with the meals and opened up one of the bags with hot food and there was no soup I knew something was wrong. So 1st strike for me is when u get my order wrong. I expect that from McDonald’s but not a restaurant that I’m paying almost $15 per meal. So I called and all I was told I would receive a free soup next time, they did say I could come get it but I live almost 20 mins away so I told them that and that’s what I got a free soup for next time. Strike 2!!! So trying to stay positive until I took a bite of the lasagna I don’t know what everyone is used to but I’m used to home cooked food especially lasagna and Leah’s lasagna is a far cry from the best around!!! There was a orange oil floating on top of the lasagna and the cheese on top was like a brick of cheese. Meat sauce is their signature I heard well it’s needs work! Very bland. Meat sauce should have flavor this had none. It also reads on their menu comes with mushrooms, WE HAD NONE!! Strike 3!!! Meaning I will never go back. When I go to a restaurant and I expect food that I pay for. We didn’t get none of that!! Oh and the garlic bread tastes like A greasy crouton. Had no garlic flavor! My review would not have been so negative if 1 my order was correct and 2 they would of offered me a discount since I said how far I travelled to come try their food. I still would have been honest but would of just left it as I had better. The restaurant was not busy at all when I got there so there is no reason why my order was completely wrong!! But hey they got the ice...

Terrible service.

I was asked booth or table?

I sat at a booth with my son. We were the last two customers to enter the establishment.

We were given two menus and the waitress walked off. There was no, welcome to Leah’s, these are our specials, is this your first time here, are you familiar with our menu, absolutely nothing.

My son and I sat there for 8 minutes, not one interaction with the waitress occurred. There were two of them serving dishes to people. Not one other person entered the establishment after my son or I.

I decided to leave and not waste anymore of my time or money at this location.

If you want decent service, I would not recommend this establishment. It’s a common tactic for individuals that does not want your business to simply ignore you based on whatever biases they may have.

It’s unfortunate because I live in the area and simply wanted to try out...
