Crema's Take

Leo is a neighborhood gem that feels like a warm, familiar gathering place the moment you walk in, offering far more than coffee with its full Italian menu of fresh-made focaccia, wood-fired pizzas, and standout dishes like impossibly tender meatballs and a Caesar salad that keeps regulars coming back. Whether you're settling in for a long sit with a traditional espresso drink, catching up with friends on the outdoor patio, or bringing your family for a leisurely breakfast, the consistently excellent food and genuinely flexible, welcoming staff create an atmosphere that makes Leo feel like your own personal spot in Brooklyn.

Great spot..... nice atmosphere! Started with the focaccia and ricotta....we had the Hill pizza and it was great!! They have all kinds of pizza choices from the classic marinara and Margarita and then they have a clam pie, a San Giuseppe which is spicy sausage and tomatoes... They also offer a cocktail and beer menu wine and you can do brunch and dinner. Definitely recommend!!

I’ve been here a couple times, really consistent and delicious! The Caesar salad is sooo good and the soft serve is a must. The atmosphere is great too, feels like you’ve been there before. Overall, really good food and I think it’s fairly priced.

I had an amazing experience in Leo’s private dining room for my 30th birthday. From the beginning, the staff were extremely flexible on menu, timing, space, and last minute changes to craft the right experience for me and my party. The space is perfectly intimate with an apartment feeling atmosphere. I felt right at home! Leo teed up staging for the evening with a cocktail hour, apps, and mains - it was paced perfectly with an amazing menu. Food and drinks were top notch. The bartender did a phenomenal job keeping up with a thirsty group of 25 guests for 4 hours. Would highly recommend for birthdays, engagement parties, and other special occasions!

Love this place. First impression was amazing. Meatballs were super fresh and tender. The rigatoni was cooked to perfection the pieces of pork were sweet and savory. The margarita pizza was nothing short from great. Will be returning asap! Also can’t for get the mascarpone black cherry soft serve to top off the night,too good!

Leaving this review after coming here quite regularly for a year. Can say without a doubt that this is a neighborhood gem and I’m so happy to have it so close by. I’ve come for sitting down dinner date. For weekend bagels and coffee. For a quick slice at their shop. For a late night soft serve. And every time it just hits the spot. Their sourdough is incredible and that makes great pizza and bagels. Servers are always kind and the service in general is fast, even for packed weekends at the bagel shop. I recommend Leo to everyone visiting the neighborhood and I hope the business is good and they don’t have to close in the foreseeable future! Hugely recommend their Clam Pie (Yes! Try it!), the Caesar Salad to side any pizza, asking for their wine recommendations of the day, and always, ALWAYS get the soft serve for dessert.
