" I came to Leono's expecting great things based on reviews, but I had mixed feelings afterward. The food was good, but the service was slow, and they seemed overwhelmed with the dinner crowd. The lasagna was delicious, but my pizza wasn't very impressive. I would consider coming back, but I hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I consider Leono's to be our local hidden treasure! The food is fabulous, particularly their deep-dish pizza which is piled high with toppings! The atmosphere exudes warmth, making it an ideal family spot. Once, I ordered the ravioli special, homemade and bursting with flavor. Staff here is super friendly, and they remember your orders, which adds a personal touch. I look forward to coming back time and again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Leono's has become my favorite local eatery! The pasta is always fresh, and they serve it with authentic Italian flavors. I particularly love their pesto pasta! The service is warm and inviting, adding to the overall experience. My only suggestion would be to try and expand their gluten-free options a bit. Other than that, everything has been fantastic! I highly recommend this place if you're nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a nice Italian spot while visiting Cynthiana, and Leono's came highly recommended. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and got a side salad. Honestly, the dish was rich and creamy, but I would have preferred it without the hint of cinnamon that some reviews mentioned. The salad was fresh and a perfect complement. The service was excellent—super friendly and quick. The only downside was that it took a little longer for my food to arrive, but it was worth it. I will definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Leono's last weekend on a whim, and we are so glad we did! This restaurant has a great vibe, with Italian decor and a warm ambiance. The breadsticks were heavenly, and they came out piping hot and cheesy. I ordered the spaghetti with marinara sauce—while I enjoyed the flavor, I thought it could use a bit more seasoning to truly shine. My kids demolished the pizza, and I could see why the locals rave about it! Overall, a wonderful dining experience, and affordable too! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and I have to say I am so glad we did! The food was amazing, I could not get enough of the marinara sauce on my spaghetti. My wife enjoyed her pizza, which had a perfect crust and delicious toppings. The atmosphere was charming and perfect for a date. Our server was friendly and made our meal even more enjoyable. It won’t be our last visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit Leono's, and they sure did not disappoint this time around. I had the chicken Alfredo—rich and creamy with a homemade feel. The fettuccine was cooked to perfection! My partner had the special pizza of the day, and we both loved it. Friendly service and a classy atmosphere make it a go-to for fine dining! I tend to recommend their tiramisu too—it’s delicious!
