Leone's — Restaurant in Springfield

Leones is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that truly captures the essence of a family-style Italian restaurant. The décor is beautiful, creating a cozy yet elegant setting that makes you feel right at home.

The food was nothing short of fantastic. We started with the mozzarella balls, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and deliciously gooey on the inside. Even the complimentary bread and oil were exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to our meal.

For entrées, we had the Chicken Francese and the Chicken Florentine Pizza, both of which were outstanding. The Chicken Francese was tender, with a bright, lemony sauce that balanced richness with just the right amount of zest. The pizza was a standout, with an incredible depth of flavor—the confit garlic added a rich, savory touch, complementing the other ingredients perfectly. The crust had the perfect crispness, striking that ideal balance between chewy and crunchy.

Beyond the incredible food, the service was top-notch. Our server, Debbie, was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear that Leones values both quality and hospitality, making for an unforgettable dining experience.

There's a reason Leone's has been around 30+ years! A huge selection of quality-made dishes to choose from, professional and friendly staff, and a cozy and casual yet elevated dining environment consistently demonstrate their obvious commitment to pleasing their guests. My family loves Leone's for dine-in and delivery, and I can't say we've ever had a poor experience there. Large portions for appetizers and entrees, great selection of wine and beer, and reasonable prices. Even if you flinch when you first open the menu, I promise, after the meal is done, you'll be saying it was worth every penny and then some. Quality ingredients and skilled staff cost money-you're getting a great value for a reliably great dining experience. The same reliability can't be said for more inexpensive choices like Olive Garden or Carabba's and the like (not to mention that the dining experiences are totally different things). Not to paint too rosy a picture, sometimes things happen and mistakes are made, but Leone's staff has always made it right and the minor errors have never risen to the level of "ruining" an evening for us. They are accommodating, take responsibility and quick action for errors, and go out of their way to let you know that they are happy that you chose to dine with them. If you like good food, good people, and want to support a nice local family...

Part 2- There was no doubt in my mind your response would be as classless and rude as the service I received in your family owned business. At least Olive Garden consistently servers good food , treat their customers right and wouldn’t have to ask for a manager when two of their orders were inedible. You literally served a 5yr old freezing cold raviolis. This restaurant is a direct reflection of their rude and unprofessional owners. Hey check your reviews and try to take more pride in the food you service than attitude in your defensive replies.

Part 1- The worst service ever. Got there at 5:40pm. Server had no idea what the specials were when we asked. We order 2 small pizza, cup of soup, kids ravioli and grill chicken Caesar salad. We didn’t receive our food til 6:35. Not once did our server come over and tell us it was on the way. And it was not busy. When the food came. The kids raviolis were cold. The chicken on top of the salad was still frozen. When I informed the server he did show no care in the world. No manager came over. And every time I looked up there was a group of workers just standing around talking. For the amount of pricing on the menu you would think it would be top notch. I have never written a review but it was that terrible. Most unprofessional place I...
