" I had my birthday dinner here with friends last weekend, and it was absolutely delightful! The ambiance was perfect for a birthday celebration—warm and inviting. The pasta dishes were comforting, and the portion sizes were substantial. I personally enjoyed the manicotti, which had a wonderful texture and rich flavor. Our waiter was helpful and friendly, answering our questions about the menu. However, my friends did experience a long wait for their food, which was a downside. Overall, though, it was a lovely evening with delicious food, and I would highly recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Mama Leone's was amazing! I was blissfully delighted at how authentic my meal tasted. The chicken parmesan was perfect, every bite was divine. I was also impressed by the attentive service; our waiter made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere truly felt Italian, complete with rustic decor and lovely music. However, the pasta dish my friend got was lukewarm, which made me question their consistency in food temperature. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Mama Leone's on a whim after a long day of travel, and it turned out to be a great decision! The food felt like a warm hug. My boyfriend ordered the special that featured lasagna, and I had the ravioli, both of which were superb. The pasta was vibrant and fresh, complementing the rich sauces nicely. We loved the wooden tables and soft lighting, which created a cozy setting. Our service was attentive without being overbearing, which we appreciated. While I didn’t get around to dessert, I’ve heard rave reviews about the cannolis and Tiramisu, so I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Mama Leone's was definitely hit or miss for my family. I ordered the marinara spaghetti, but it was too salty for my liking. My husband enjoyed the seafood misto, though, and said it was flavorful. The service was a bit slow, but our server was polite. The ambiance was cozy, and overall it was a decent experience, but I’m unsure if we’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The atmosphere feels stuck in a previous era. The food lacked freshness. My spaghetti was so overcooked it fell apart, and the sauce was too salty for my taste. While our service was decent, the food did not match up with the ambiance. I would not return to this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes for this restaurant, but my recent visit was underwhelming. The pasta was bland and left me wanting more. Service was friendly and professional, but it wasn’t enough to lift the overall experience. Given how much I love Italian food, I hoped for better from Mama Leone's, especially after hearing great things. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this restaurant! The nostalgic decor makes you feel right at home. I’ve dined here multiple times, and every experience has been fantastic. The chicken parmesan was cooked to perfection, the sauce full of flavor! The garlic knots were a favorite among our table; they were soft and buttery. The service was excellent; our server knew the menu inside out and was very accommodating to our dietary restrictions. I noticed that many diners seemed genuinely happy, which added to the warm environment. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
