Italian Passion shines through at Il Leone
Posted in Epicurean on 28. Jun, 2009
Il Leone has got to be one of my all time top 10 restaurants. Without fail they always impress. I have been there on numerous occasions and every time the experience was bliss. One important thing is to be sure to make a reservation a couple of days in advance, as they’re sure to be full over weekends. On more than one occasion we had late reservations, or larger parties than expected and the friendly hostess always accommodated our requests. On all occasions we had excellent-trained waiters suggesting the perfect meals, and wines to go with. Their seafood pasta is amazing, and so is their Veal Saltimbocca. One thing that’s evident is their passion for their food, and the way in which they describe the meals is proof thereof. My life has also been saved once by their chicken broth with tiny chicken-filled pasta parcels, which i went to pick up after a serious bout of the flu. In short excellent staff, service, atmosphere and food. This is such a comforting thought as one can book a table without any hesitation and know the experience will be a good one.
