" Leonore has quickly become my favorite place for authentic Venezuelan food! The employees are always friendly and make recommendations based on what you're in the mood for. I've tried almost everything on the menu and have found it all scrumptious! The Tequeños are a must, and the Reina Pepiada arepas are heavenly! A great atmosphere for both families and couples. If you're in Roanoke, don’t miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm somewhat torn about my experience at Leonore Restaurant. The ambiance was rustic and cozy, perfect for a date night. However, the food was hit or miss. I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo, and it was disappointingly bland with a watery sauce. On the other hand, my partner's arepas were delicious and vibrant with flavor. The service was attentive, which I appreciated. I think I might give it one more chance to see if the quality can be consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried out this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. The atmosphere was nice and casual, perfect for a relaxed dinner. We ordered multiple dishes, but most of them didn't resonate with us. The chicken alfredo was subpar and lacked seasoning. But the service was commendable. I might return just to try additional Venezuelan options only. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're ever in Roanoke, Leonore is a must-visit! The combined Italian and Venezuelan influences are delightful and unique. I had the Margarita Pizza and an order of their Tequeños, which were heavenly! The atmosphere is quaint, making it perfect for a casual meal or special occasion. Service was direct and very welcoming; I received attentive care throughout my meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, I’ll certainly be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here based on the reviews, but my experience was less than stellar. The wings were great, very tasty, and nicely seasoned, however, my Alfredo dish seemed underwhelming. It was more of a soup than a pasta dish, and the shrimp was overcooked. The service was friendly but seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, I hope to give it another shot and perhaps try something more authentic on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited Leonore a few times now, and while I've enjoyed my meals, they have been inconsistent. I once had their garlic knots, which were stellar, but the next time, they seemed overcooked and a bit chewy. The pizza has had mixed reviews from my friends; sometimes it’s fantastic, and other times it feels a bit lacking in flavor. However, the staff is always friendly, and the setting is inviting. I believe they’re still tweaking their offerings; I’m hopeful for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience! The recipes seem really authentic, and the vibe in the restaurant adds to the charm. I was mesmerized by how delicious the Arepas were! Somehow, they reminded me of home. Staff were friendly and service was good. I’ll recommend this place to my friends for sure. There wasn’t much wait time either, which is always a bonus!
