I don't usually don't give a negative review unless have I tried something 3 times, however this new location is not much better than their original place was in recent years prior to closing. Was hoping they improved their Eggplant Parmesan entree, but it's actually more wimpy than when when they were on the rotary near the navy base. Asked for sauce on the side because I don't like my eggplant drowned out and soggy in sauce and instead of putting cheese on the eggplant they put it on the pasta. Was disappointing that I was only given three very thin slices that were less than adequate and was so thin I could not taste it. Also ordered the half size House Salad for $5.50 and was given a small plastic container with what seemed like frugal portioned pieces of tomato and cucumber and the carrots were large lazy chunks rather than shredded or sliced. It did't seem like they offer pasta refills as they once did, but I probably would not have ordered more anyway because the Penne tasted dry, chalky and cheap like they bought out Job Lots expired inventory. They were once successful and had made their name in Newport but I just don't think their heart is in the business anymore as was obvious when they didn't let the public know what was going on after their rotary location closing.

This place was great, we always order the same thing for about 10 years now the Mamma Leone’s Special. I’m giving one star for great delivery time (almost too fast) & another for the chicken wings that were perfect. Negative one star for bad toppings, bad crust, bad cheese - the pizza was horrible we didn’t even have a second slice & it’s still an almost complete pizza, no ones had seconds even the next day & that has never happened in my household! Yes that bad & I hate to complain but the meat & crust were so hard like it had been left out & reheated. And all the specialty toppings that are normally cooked & under the melted cheese looked just tossed on top & some were still raw, barely cooked. Nothing like undercooked mushrooms, hard dry sausage & chewy green pepper oh yum. We were told it would be 45 minutes which we expected, but it arrived in less than 20 minutes. It literally looked like a left over thin crust cheese pizza that they just threw extra toppings on top & barely broiled it to reheat it. The cheese was not gooey but hard, very disappointing.
