I was home for the holidays and wanted to try local Italian food, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised.
Friendly and great cuisine
I really wanted to like this restaurant, but despite there only being one other table occupied for dinner the waiter messed up our order several times. There were only four of us there, and the meals were not complicated. When I finally got my meal, it was cold and took so long. Not only was it cold, but it was flavorless. However, the staff was relatively nice. But there are much better restaurants downtown with great food.
Nice place to visit and have a good meal and have a beer
Great music great place to attend
My favorite place in Roanoke. Perfect for date night, with a quiet atmosphere and excellent food. My favorites are the Venezuelan entrees, but my husband swears by the pizza. Everyone's happy at Leonore!
As a "Caraqueña" living in West Virginia, I was pleasantly surprised there was a restaurant relatively close by that offered Venezuelan food. The place is very clean and the girl that served us when we arrived was very pleasant and I had the chance to speak Spanish with her. Unfortunately she left and we were then served by a male waiter. I ordered the Polllo Guisado. I was SO EXCITED to try this dish, but unfortunately it was black peppered to death. After picking out all the blackened pieces of chicken, I enjoyed the vegetables and the fried plantain. I let the waiter know that the chicken was inedible, and even he acknowledged that that's not the way the dish is prepared, but nothing was done to remedy the situation and I basically paid $11 for rice, stewed vegetables and fried plantains. I would have thought the owner or a manager would have come over and remedied the situation, but it was never acknowledged, I will never eat there again nor recommend it that place to anyone I know. One simple mistake, yet the way the situation was handled, or better said, IGNORED, turned me off from that place. NO GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
The food was delicious!! Great atmosphere!! Service is great.. They are friendly... Fast... & Professional!!!
Amazing Italian and Venezuelan food. They also have gluten free options
Awesome Venezuelan food!!!
You can never go wrong with Leonore’s. Every single dish I’ve tried, Italian or Venezuelan, is absolutely delicious! The service is great and the owner is an awesome member of the Roanoke Valley community. I just love this place. ❤️
Meatballs are to die for! Stromboli is great.
My wife and I had a good experience at Leonore Restaurant. The service was good and the food was flavorful and plentiful.
I ordered the lasagna and the garlic bread that came with it looks and tastes just like the store bought garlic bread I get from Walmart
You will always leave with a to-go box. The food is extraordinary. Some much for so little
Absolutely magickal
Nice ambience - upscale but not too fancy. Food was excellent!!! Told the server about my boyfriend's birthday and he comped a delicious dessert. Would definitely return.
Just little to quite
My boyfriend and I stopped in after hiking to the Roanoke Star last Saturday. We found it quite by accident, after traipsing across town looking for food options that weren't 30/plate. The restaurant was busy when we got there, so we waited at the bar. (Good service. Nice bartender.) The restaurant can't quite figure out what it wants to be; it's Italian / Venezuelan fusion. ... So naturally, we decided to try both sides. The arepa was delicious... Chicken salad with avocado. Mm. So creamy and tasty. Would definitely order it again. The garlic knots were slightly over cooked, but yummy, especially with the exquisite marinara served on the side. His entree, chicken Alfredo, was not incredibly noteworthy, just creamy and cheesy. Honestly, I wish I'd stuck with the arepa, because.... My entree, chicken marsala, tasted so strange, that I started feeling sick from the flavour after four bites. *I would not recommend that dish at all.* I packed it up and brought it home. The next day, I decided to "try" it again... Still horrible. In the end, I doctored it up with Alfredo sauce from a jar and sauteed mushrooms. Overall, the service was good, the food was good, the mixed drinks were good. If you want a neat experience with affordable prices, try out this place.
Our dinner at Leonore was the GREATEST They made us feel so SPECIAL Again THANK YOU
We had a table of 8 and the place was not busy. We put in our orders and and it took them almost an hour. And when we did get our food it was good but at room temperature.
It was a very pleasant visit! Loved the attention & service provided by Jered, food was delicious & very tasty! It took me by surprise as I was not expecting such exquisite place! Definitely looking forward to my next visit!
Very cozy restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff.
Loved It!!! What an amazing selection of Italian food. Love the wonderful assortment of wines. I will be returning!!!
Good food for a great price! The servers were a bit slow however.
Moscato wine is excellent. So was the salsa dancing!
We had a great dinner here after daughter’s graduation from VT. Service was excellent. Arepas were really good. Delicious plantains.
Great staff and food. Take their time to make sure deliveries are correct.
Fast friendly service, very good food please don't be afraid of getting recommendations you will not be disappointed.
This used to be one of my favorite restaurants not after the experience I had to tonight. I made a reservation 2 weeks ago for my son's birthday and when we arrived they did not have it. The table was too small for everyone so then 3 of us had to sit at another table away from the group. We waited over an hour for our food and when we got it it was cold! The part that really upset me was not one person apologized. I will not be back and I will definitely tell everyone we know to stay awah!!!
Done of the best eating in Roanoke. Great pizzas and subs and phenomenal meatballs. And then there is the Venezuelan menu - some of the best pork you'll ever eat!
New menu. Great prices. Great Pizza.
Great spot for some traditional venezuelan food. Very unexpected on our travels down South. Definitely recommend!
Outstanding cuisine. Friendly and helpful staff. Intimate setting. Nice little bar. In the heart of downtown.
As usual, a 5 star experience with Lenore Restaurant. I had the lunch lasagna which came with garlic bread. Also ordered a slice of sweetheart cake. Both were delicious. The lasagna comes in a bowl with bubbling cheese. I forgot to take a picture. Their breads are made in house. The sweetheart cake is moist white cake with a whipped white icing. There is a little pineapple between layers. Delicious.
Excellent pizza. Garlic knots were great. Awesome staff. Definitely coming back soon!
This restaurant is filled with babies not making noise. P.S. Band is great background. Big fan of the arepas and Italian dishes!
I came in for lunch with high hopes, I read online and heard that this restaurant was great. After my wife and I got seated they took our order and brought our drinks, the restaurant was not very busy but it still took almost 40 mins to get our food which included one piece of pizza 2 salads and an appetizer. The salads were good no complaints there the pizza and the appetizer was doughy and undercooked, the only reason I am giving this 2 stars is because there was a female waitress who was amazing and friendly had a great personality. Oh and we started off with a male who took our order, brought us or drink and brought me my change after I paid for the meal,and then never saw again.
Great menu and service
Great place for Venezuelan food. Great spot for an appetite of any size. I will be back with my friends. This place has a nice atmosphere.
Leonore has been open for around 5 years. They have expanded their dining area so I assume they are doing well. Their pizza is good and their prices for main courses are very very reasonable but the flavor of those main courses is just not there. Not sure if it's the quality of the products they buy in order to offer such low prices or or what. If you are on a budget and want to go out for dinner then this is the place to go but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Service was great and the restaurant itself is cozy.
Occasionally grab a stromboli for lunch here. Tried the Arroz Con Pollo today. It was clearly made with canned vegetable medley, tossed with rice and chicken. Very disappointing, and not "sauteed" or "fresh," as described.
Great i love it best place to eat wings ever
This place is always packed and there food always smells so good.
Food and service were very good, will definitely be back.
My favorite restaurant downtown! Arepas are my favorite. The staff is courteous.
Leonore's is one of my favorite lunch spots for consistently tasty food! Their lunch specials are varied and are of good value compared to other downtown restaurants. I have not been to any of their salsa nights, but I've heard good things. My gal pal and I went one Wednesday evening and partook in their wine specials, and their homemade Italian dishes are so scrumptious. They have something there for everyone! You won't regret giving them a chance.
Good location and good food. Nice change from standard lunch fare.
Great food at a reasonable price. Whether it's Italian or Venezuelan the food is terrific.
One of my favorite places to go and definitely get dessert.
Home made food like no other. No other restaurant in town like it. The food is unique and made one dish at a time by the caring owner and their staff. You can tell by the quality ingredients that they use. Highly recommend!
Great food and excellent service
Great tasting food and friendly staff.
Best BBQ chicken pizza on the planet
We are in town for VT orientation. We followed the advice of Yelp, and were very pleased. The ambiance is kinda bland but the food is great. We had a mix of Italian and Venezuelan and both we great. We would highly recommend this place.
Cozy surroundings, amazing food, wait staff is attentive and very friendly. Top 5 of all restaurants in town. We had food from the Venezuelan menu. Makes my mouth water thinking back on it.
Great pizza Great prices
I ordered chicken marsala through Grub Hub. The food arrived quickly and hot! However, my meal did not taste good. I was pretty let down. The marsala sauce tasted strange and the chicken was a little tough.
Awesome Venezuelan food! We'll definitely be going back! The atmosphere was so laid back and gorgous. We loved it.
Never actually been to the restaurant but delivered through a third party. Delicious every time. The best shrimp alfredo I've ever had. Worth every cent
The arepas are to die for! Best, most authentic ones you'll find in the area. Crunchy, fresh, and affordable
Outstanding. Great food, great people, great atmosphere.
Excellent food, especially the Venezuelan fare. You should definitely try the arepas
The experience here was great. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this place as a go to for a special dinner.
Great food! Amazing service! Events throughout the weekend!
Great food. One of my favorite places to eat.
My wife and I love coming here. Great food and atmosphere at a great price!!! I consider them one of Roanoke's hidden gems.
Great place to bring the family, amazing food and service
Excellent food first time guests here.
I will be making another trip there customer service is great and the chef really make there food tasteful 1st time trying something different will be back again to try something else
Such a good place. Nice people and great food. Can't go wrong
Food was delicious and very reasonably priced! They have both American and Venezuelan food. Service was a little slow but I think that's because we went at an odd time and there was only 1 server working (4pm for dinner). I will definitely be going back. The staff were VERY friendly.
This is the perfect place to go when you’re trying to eat something different, delicious and cheap. I just have good things to say about this place.
Pizza is ok. Sauce us sweet. Will try Venezuelan food next time
Took my grandsons there for dinner in November. We all three knew it was going to be good as soon as we walked in. We weren't disappointed. I have found my "go to" place in Roanoke... But keep it a secret, will you?
Good
The atmosphere is indeed delightful and the food is delicious. Love this place.
Good food and great service! The maple bacon cheddar flat bread is a must!
Best Venezuelan restaurant . I loved it❤❤
Very good food and atmosphere. The waitress was very nice. I highly recommend it.
Service was great! Food was good. Need to visit again.
Our party of 4 decided to try this place before the 9:30pm Comedy show at the Market Building. At 8:15 we were seated quickly in a room with very loud live music and waited about 10 minutes before our server took our drink order. She was already apologizing for our wait and brought the drinks out promptly. Each couple ordered an appetizer to split but they came out slowly, one at a time. So 20 minutes after ordering we got one app then 10 minutes later we got the 2nd app. The bruschetta and tequenos were very good!! So at this point it's 8:55, we are starting to worry about having time to eat our entrees versus running them back to the car. At 9:15 we decided there was no time left to eat or place in the car, canceled our order and asked to pay for the drinks and apps we'd eaten. There was quite a bit of confusion about this and getting our change so we could continue to the show. The person I assume to be the owner came out to ask "what the problem was" and "the order had only been up 35 minutes" None of us were very impressed but how things were handled and were highly disappointed to continue the evening without dinner. I am willing to try again because the food I did have was delicious but only if I have plenty of time wait for it. I do wish we had the choice of sitting near the music or the other room.
Food was ok. Or biggest complaint was the extremely long wait time and the fact that the appetizers came out at the same time as the meal. We were surprised that despite the long wait time, the food wasn't that special, they used parboiled rice, and the meat was overcooked and tough. The final straw was the obnoxiously loud live music. It was impossible to have a conversation at the table, and our ears are still ringing 45 minutes later. It was something different, but once is enough for us.
Great Venezuelan food
The Venezuelan food is delicious AND they offer Presidente beer!!! I've heard their Italian food is also great!
Good food
My wife and I had the best time at Leonore on Monday evening. The waitperson "Caballota" aka Maria was a breath of fresh air! She helped with entre decision and the food was outstanding! From the rum punch and appetizer to the beans, sliced steak in an incredible Venezuelan spice with plantains on the side... to the last meatball...(there was very little conversation while we ate). The atmosphere of the restaurant is just right. Nice, yet comfortable. It was so unique to be able to order two separate cuisines and both dishes being genuinely cooked to perfection. Maria has a perfect blend of working hard and being sociable. The pricing was very reasonable as well. Our new favorite restaurant is only 150 miles from our home! "So we have that going for us, which is nice."
Great pizza! The Venezuelan foods are very tasty. Excellent staff and service
Portions were of above-average size and very hearty
Waited an hour for food. No one apologized or seemed like they cared at all.
Excellent value. Love the Mediterranean salad and carne asado... Not two things you usually see on the same menu!
This place had really good food!
Delicious food, large portions and very reasonable prices. The wait staff was very friendly.
Great food. Great service. Nice place to eat.
Excellent food and friendly atmosphere!!
Overpriced. Slow service. Very noisy because overpaid customers try to out talk everyone else. Food was just ok.
Kevin was a great server to both me and my friend as we dined for our first time at Lenore's. The chicken wings were phenomenal, as was the simple but fresh Mediterranean salad....I look forward to trying many more things on the menu as I share this place with friends and family in the near future.
If you haven't had the steak and cheese arepas like, you haven't fully lived yet. Love the wine list, wine night, the new bar, amazing food and then best hospitality.
Very friendly and nice atmosphere, good food!
Manager ordered a variety of Venezuelan selections for us. Couldn't be happier. Excellent choices, excellent food.
I had the best chicken marsala I have ever had there. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great prices!
Delicious fresh food and very friendly staff!
Love this place! Great people, great food!
It was quaint and authentic...that's what made it enjoyable. Very affordable and the food amazing. Our server was adorable and he was so sweet. It was friday night and they had authentic live music...so much fun!
Food was absolutely fantastic! Service was great, and atmosphere was pleasant. Literally my favorite restaurant in Roanoke.
Good food, great service! You get good variety in a mix of Italian, Venezuelan and some American food. Easy to find something to like!
The food amd costs here have always been fantastic.
Food was good. Did not like that the prices on lunch menu were a little different than what I was charged. For example lunch specials menu said any arepa and salad for $8 and I picked a $9 one and so was charged $9.
Love this place I've been going for years and it had only gotten better.
Honestly. Best wings I've had in Roanoke so far. Best thing about them were that they were baked.
I enjoyed my meal. Service was decent. The inside of the resturant was quaint, modern and clean on the inside. Would come again.
Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Sat in the bar area. The staff was friendly and attentive. John even went to the double of looking up a nonalchoholic drink I was interested in. They had all the ingredients. Even the cucumbers!
Leonore's is a very quaint place. Inviting and clean. The staff were welcoming and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed their chicken alfredo. Very delicious! I will be back to try other food options there!!! The owner was very attentive in making sure I had everything I needed.
First time pizza to go, very good second time chicken marsala to go, dry hardly any sauce, last night linguine with meat sauce to go, no meat and practically no sauce at all, no 4th time, Judy H
Great food.
Worth the visit and prices weren't too bad.
Ever since a friend of mine told me about Lenore's I've been trying to make it over there to try them....and I did today. Excellent venue, wonderful atmosphere, and extremely friendly and attentive staff. Top that all off with the best pizza I've had in a looong time and you have some idea of what it's like to go to Lenore's. Their lunch specials are affordable and even their "full" price menu items are extremely reasonable. I'd have no problems taking a client there for a lunch meeting, or hanging out there with friends one night.
Tried Leonore's for the first time tonight with a friend... the food was delicious, the wine selection was excellent, and their knowledge on good wine was very appreciated... our server Isaac was so sweet and personable, he made our night with his humor and overall good nature. We'll definitely be back soon and often!
Highly recommend!! Great service, great food. Try the Venezuelan menu...delicious!
Wonderful. Will be going back. And also great service.
Amazing food even better service and the drinks were great too. Im just mad I didn’t find this place sooner
Friendly staff with a warm cozy atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was the sweetest. Can't wait to go back!
Great food and staff!
Delicious food, great service authentic food, cant beat it!

Great mix of food here, everything my wife and I had was delicious. Will definitely be going back. Night we were there they had a live band playing, music was good and just the right volume to be heard but not overwhelm.
Delicious food, friendly staff and a good ambience.
Friendly fast service, excellent food at a reasonable price.
A fine find for foodies fond of fabulous food furnished by friendly folks.
Love the arepas! Everything is good
Delish
Cozy, nice atmosphere. Classic Italian dishes. Great pizza and great desserts! Light and fluffy garlic knots that satisfy. Try the veggie lasagna!
Nice atmosphere, had live music, my food was average but this was my first time there. Sometimes takes a few visits to find that menu item you just keep coming back for!
Friendly staff. Good food. Good selection of food and decent beer prices
food was exceptional!
Let me start by saying this AMAZING FOOD AND STAFF !! If you haven't ate here, please stop what youre doing and GO EAT lol
Salsa dancing on Thursday nights is a must try!
Pork Asado was fantastic. Service is friendly and helpful. Portions are generous and attractively presented. Definitely a favorite destination for us now.
Amazing food and service. We will definitely be bsck!
Chicken parm. Really good
This restaurant was truly a great experience. There was live music which was very pleasant to listen to while eating. All of the staff were very friendly. The food was amazing, I got shrimp Alfredo and it was probably the best I ever had. It was a perfect blend of sauce, noodles, and shrimp. One of the best restaurants you can go to if you are downtown.
The food and service was good. I would happily go back.
The best chicken marsala in the roanoke area . The food is always fresh and worth any wait . The staff is always friendly.
The waiter, Matt was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, great personality and provided superior service. He didnt miss a beat. The chicken parmesan was a very more than enough and delicious. Very nice atmosphere.
Food was delicious, drinks were amazing; we tried Margarita, Mojito, and Venezuelan Cuba Libre. Staff was kind and helpful. Atmosphere was good, too; I saw a variety of people including a family with 2-3 kids. We will go back to try more. They also have a live music as well. The online menu on the website is incomplete though, please update it.
Great staff, good for groups. Helped out our large group in short notice with friendly service. Well come back here again.
