| - After a friend vehemently raved about Leone Cafe, I knew I had to try it. My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Wednesday morning about 8AM. It was right upstairs from the parking garage in a cute, European-style cafe. You order your food from the cashiers, and they bring it to you at your table. There is both outside and inside seating. On this cold morning, we opted for inside. The ambiance and aesthetics were great. Loved it, especially since I am NOT a morning person.
Anyway, so we ordered a few things.
I ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, which the cashier recommended. It came with two hefty-sized pesto breads. Those were delicious. The pasta, itself, was lacking some flavor, but it was good overall. The portion was a good amount.
My boyfriend ordered the Panini Breakfast Muffin. He said it was only okay. It came with a bowl of fruit, which was fresh.
He also ordered the chocolate cake, which was very good. It was extremely soft and moist. I have to say that this was the best thing that we had!
I also ordered a orange mimosa. It was a bit sour for my taste, but still good. I don't think I would order it again though. It was $8 for a medium-sized flute. I should have probably opted for the $16 bottomless mimosa option, but I wasn't trying to get too crazy on a Wednesday morning.
The service was good. The staff seemed very friendly and willing to help us with our order. Since we were first-time guests, we had no idea what to try. The menu is pretty extensive, and it definitely all sounded worthy of trying.
Overall, the food was good. The ambiance was very pleasing. It was a bit on the expensive side for breakfast, and the food wasn't outstanding. But, since it is up the road from my house, I think I will come back.
