Mama Leone's Italian Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Nokomis - IN the Mama Leone\'s Plaza, 2300 N Tamiami Trail, USA

I personally did not enjoy the food here. Our waitress was new and it took quite a while for us to get things we ordered. We had paid our bill before the espresso shot that was ordered with dessert showed up. There were two of us who had silverware with food from previous meals on it (both my forks and my knife). I had the fettuccine carbonara and did not like it at all. My mother had the spaghetti and meatballs and only ate half of it before disposing of the leftovers. The garlic bread was good and everyone seemed to enjoy the desserts. 4-6 was half price drinks and those that drank at our table enjoyed their beverages

We had a pretty good experience for mid-week dinner for a party of 7. Seems like they could use more help as the staff was a bit haggered. Food was very good.

Excellent dinner. Beautiful restaurant with a few dining sections that were quite. Thin crust pizza was awesome. Waiter was very good. Could have some craft beers on tap.

Great food, our server Holly was on top of everything and was very attentive. The food was delicious with extremely generous portions. The red sangria was very tasty with a lot of fruit. The lasagna and stuffed shells were very authentic. The cheesecake was a generous portion and tasty. A great dining experience. The pizza also looked yummy.

Went there yesterday—first time. Friendly service, delicious food, great value. I’m a bit fussy relative to red sauces. Their sauce was light, fresh and perfect in every way. Highly recommend.

Been here multiple times. Last time was last. Horrible service from every aspect all throughout dinner. Had the worst chintziest calamari. Much too expensive for the food you get that is always relatively flavorless and not done well. Undercooked pasta. Bland flavors. You get the idea. But the service is the nail in the coffin. The bread and atmosphere are the only good things about this restaurant.

One of the best restaurants I have eaten at in the Sarasota area. Outstanding! I also thought the decor was beautiful and very Italian. Management and Staff kind and present. Very appreciative. Highly recommend.

As of December, this is under new management, and it definitely has gone downhill. We began with the calamari, which was over breaded AND overcooked. For the entre I ordered the prime rib special, after waiting about 45 minutes after we had our salads, I was told they ran out of prime ribs and that I had to order something else. So I ordered the veal piccata. Another half hour before we finally gat our meals. And that was a serious disappointment. The piccata sauce was thick and starchy with little taste. Always enjoyed this place before, but won’t go back anymore.
