Leona's - STUDIO CITY

To begin with.. I last dined here 3 years ago and it was a great experience. Tonight was an utter disappointment. Reservation for 2. We arrive only to find that they are having a private party/event, theres no seating in the restaurant. If yo are not familiar with this restaurant.. It's also a part of ceremony bar and there's a type of patio between them.its neither here nor there, and that's we're we were seated... BTW I was never informed of said party. A bit chilly so we are moved over to the ceremony area bar.. Way different vibe. We ordered the short rib lasagna.. A fail. And the branzino.. The fish was OK but golly... A small piece served skin down over a pathetic mix of veggies that look like they came out of a frozen package from the vons etc. Horrible and they charged $45. Needless to say I will never eat here again.. And if this review steers you elsewhere.. Thank God.. U dodged a bullet.

The food is delicious here and the service is some of the best. I strongly recommend trying this place out when you have a chance.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner, it was delicious! We ordered the braised beef lasagna, gnocchi and red snapper fillet. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The waiter was amazing going out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. Recommend 100

These people are not messing around. No sir they are not. If you want yummy a home-made tasting pasta, you need to give this place a try. My daughter had the linguini Alfredo which was sinfully creamy. I had lasagna topped with mushroom sauce... that dish tasted like there's a grandma in the kitchen who loves you that's making it. We started our meal with the meatballs appetizer, the meatballs were ridiculously fluffy and yummy. And we ended the meal with a divine berry pannacotta and a tiramisu that was a little too boozy for my taste. Overall this place in SERIOUS-YUMMERS. Will I come black here absofuckinglutely. So I think you should as well, most definitely

My scalloped potatoes were literally swimming in grease.... Presumably butter. The short ribs in lasagna were tough. I had a massive gut ache after eating 1/3 of my order. Took hours to get better, overnight to go away. The broccolini/ rapini was cooked to the right degree (not soggy and not crunchy but just right) but unfortunately it was also swimming in grease. Appears I'm just the unlucky sap who orders from them last night as reviews are generally good but their food made me sick as hell and I've never encountered so much grease in anything I've eaten before.
