This place was surpsiningly good - it’s where Jimmy used to be and they really upgraded the interior of the restaurant so it feels completely new, modern, and spacious. Appetizers were yummy. The entrees were just alright - they need better variety/sides with the dishes (they were all very simple). I would come back

The atmosphere is welcoming with a warm vibe. It is beautifully designed (Mediterranean decor) with gentle breeze and sunlight coming from their wide opened full length windows. The bar downstairs looks sharp and posh. The food here is delicious and fresh seafood from their raw bar. The service is attentive and friendly and not overbearing. It was a perfect lunch and drinks on a gorgeous sunny cool breezy Memorial day 😊

The food was very good, and I especially loved the intense flavor of the black garlic hummus, the bread, and the chocolate pudding. The portions were on the smaller side for NYC. The ambiance is wonderful, I felt transported somewhere else, and it feels upscale. The waiter confused me, sometimes he was engaged and sharing information, and sometimes he seemed to hate being there. For instance, he recited the menu in monotone, and flung the plates on the table without saying what the food was. I obviously preferred interacting with his first version.

Elevated dining experience for the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night or girls night out. The hummus was to die for and the truffle pasta was delicious. The cod was so so and my only criticism was that the wine pours could be more generous. Otherwise, lovely dining experience.

We had a good time at Leonetta; the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was good. However, the service felt slightly overbearing as we were approached a bit too frequently. I recommend booking in advance—it’s a great spot for group dining!

I recently ate at this restaurant and had a really nice experience overall. The food was good — well-prepared and tasty, though nothing particularly unique or over-the-top. The atmosphere, however, was lovely — warm, comfortable, and great for a relaxed meal. The staff was friendly and the service was smooth. Definitely a pleasant place to dine, even if it’s not the most memorable spot food-wise.

I was at this popular Mediterranean restaurant a couple of months ago with one of my usual groups. The space inside is very nice, with good lighting, and the service was also good. I was there early, as it's near my workplace, and I started with a cocktail from their large bar. I went with the Kiss The Ring from their "negroni style" section for $19, which had Harelston green blended scotch, amaretto Lazzaroni, Heirloom pineapple amaro, toasted almond bitters, and salt. The drink was well-balanced, being bitter but not too much, with a touch of sweetness and a very slight bite from the scotch. I think it would work better with a peatier or stronger scotch, but said drink worked well overall. Once the group arrived, we ordered a bunch of dishes to share. The first dish that arrived was our sole appetizer and one of my favorites, which was the Stuffed Pita "Spanakopita" with spinach, leeks, feta, and sesame seeds. There is a choice between a $10 small one and a $16 large one, and we went with the latter, and honestly, even if you were in a smaller group, I would recommend the larger size. The inside had a good vegetal flavor from the spinach and leeks, while the pita was warm and soft. I guess the only complaint I could make is that it was perhaps a bit salty, but that's partially expected for a spanakopita. We also got two pasta dishes, and they were very different from each other, not just by price but also by richness. I had a slight preference for the Mezzi Rigatoni, which was the cheaper option at $28 with braised lamb ragout, green olives, chickpeas, pistachio crumbs, and feta cheese. The pasta was pretty solid with some pieces of tender lamb within said ragu, with the olives and feta adding a unique saltiness (almost too much so,) while the pistachios added a fun crunch. This was an interesting dish, reminding me closest in terms of Italian pastas to a couple of dishes at the close by Norma Gastronomia Siciliana, though I preferred their pasta texture. The Black Truffle Mafaldine, for $45 with wild mushrooms, mascarpone, and parmesan, was our other pasta dish. The price point honestly makes sense, as this is big enough to share for two or three people due to its richness. This pasta had a better texture, being more al dente, though it was a bit more one-note in terms of flavor and texture. If you're looking for a heavy black truffle-focused pasta, this is a good option, but it's not my personal preference. Last was the alright Pork Shank Shawarma for $62 with pita bread, house pickles, and 6th Ave white and red sauce. The pork shank was massive and was almost a bit too crispy, making it a bit hard to break into. I appreciated the za'atar on the bread as the little bit of sourness from said spice mix helped with the rich pork. Their take on white and red sauce was pretty standard, with the former being a light tzatziki and the latter being mildly sour with a bit of heat. Again, this would be good for sharing, which makes the price much more reasonable, but I didn't personally love this dish either for similar reasons as the mafaldine. Our only other small plate was an added side, which was the Baharat Roasted Mushrooms for $16 with sour cherries and cipollini onions. The dish was small, even as sides go, with the dish having a surprising amount of sweetness for there being sour cherries, which was presumably from the baharat spice blend. This was unique at least, but I wouldn't order it again. The food here was interesting. We started on a very high note, though I would say that the rest of the dishes weren't as strong as our appetizer. The food is unique enough, though, that I would probably recommend it even if I personally didn't like certain dishes as much/would go back and try things that aren't their pasta.

A friend picked this spot for dinner, and wow — it’s gorgeous! The interior is beautifully designed and the staff was super attentive from the moment we walked in. We sampled a few dishes, and the standout for me was hands down the black garlic hummus. So flavorful, with actual chickpeas mixed in and warm, pillowy pita on the side — 10/10. We also tried the black truffle pasta, which was just okay. It looked great but didn’t really deliver on the truffle flavor, though it was still decent overall. What really sets this place apart is the downstairs lounge — total vibe. Next time, I’d skip the full dinner and head straight there for drinks and that hummus. The service was great, the atmosphere was on point, and while the food was a bit hit or miss, it’s still a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for a cute place to grab cocktails and light bites.

My friends and I came in for brunch last Saturday. Nice ambiance, good vibe, decent food and great service. We start off with Black Garlic Hummus which I am still graving for it, so good. The Caesar Salad with Chicken was refreshing, Lamb Panini and Grilled Swordfish Club were delicious as well. We also got a side order of Za’atar Steak Fries. Everything was flavorful, no complain at all. I will definitely be back again to try something else!

We caught up with an old friend at brunch here, and I'm not mad I schlepped here for it. Splitting everything family style, we started with warm, homemade pita and the scrumptious Beetroot Tzatziki. The Black Garlic Hummus, another dip, wasn't as tasty (oddly nutty and slightly sweet), and we didn't receive any chilled crudités like the menu mentioned, but I'm not mad because the Beetroot was so fantastic. The Jumbo Lump Crab Ceviche was a pleasant surprise, with a generous portion of crab, as was the perfectly decadent Lamb Tartare. The Steak & Eggs Kebab came out delightfully medium rare, while the Lamb Panini was a crunchy reminder that more sandwiches should sandwich lamb (if it weren't so expensive). We also threw in the Shawarma Spiced Bacon (lovely), and the less lovely Za'atar Steak Fries. I'd skip the latter unless you like giant slabs of mostly unseasoned potato--it was the only dud on our table. Service was great, and the plant-focused decor is always a win for me. All in all, I'm glad I came and now I kinda want to come back for dinner. Isn't that the ideal brunch experience?
