Leonardo's Italian Café
Summary
Would we go there again: Yes
A decent little family-run Italian restaurant. Not the best place ever, but certainly not bad. Nice for a quiet and more private setting than you would get at Olive Garden, for instance. The food was decent, and we especially liked the bread that came with our meal.

Tim's Comments: I had been here with my family once before when it was owned by a different family and called Dante's. I enjoyed the food a bit more than Jeni, and enjoyed the overall experience. I'd go again, but probably not anytime really soon. Especially since we don't live anywhere nearby.
Jeni's Comments: It was more like a pizza parlor that served a few other dishes than an Italian restaurant. The main course was good, but I really didn't enjoy the appetizer. The coffee tasted like the stuff they serve at Denny's. In other words: not the best. It would bave been better if they gave us unlimited bread. How can you have Italian food without tons of bread? I personally would rather spend my money elsewhere.
