I was amazed to read such a damning report about such a good restaurant.

I held my 17th birthday celebration at Leone's last month and have nothing but praise.

The service was impeccable, the food delicious and well presented. Among my group were five from show business, two currently in West End shows, who dine out all the time, all of whom had nothing but praise for Leone's.

The decor at Leone's is Romanesque and comfortable rather than plastic tables and scrubbed floors which reflect noise. Need I say more?
