DaLeo Trattoria Toscana

The waiters were very friendly, and with our delicious appetizer the owner decided to give us some bruschetta on the house. Even though the appetizers came out fast we did have to wait a long time to get our orders. The food was pretty good, but nothing out of this world, however, the specials of the day were excellent.

Great food. Wonderful ambiance. Excellent, friendly service.
Paulo is a great employee. I don’t know whether he is a regular employee or manager or owner, but he understands how to treat customers.
The outside dining is delightful. We had the seafood feast, and it was awesome!
It is meant for two, but it is enormous and cooked to perfection!

When my friend came in from out of town we wanted to have a good dinner & people watch for the evening on Lincoln road. I read the reviews on this place and we thought we would give it a whirl.
The inside is a tiny little place, but they have a pretty large outdoor section on Lincoln road. The door people sat us promptly and at a great people watching table. They had plenty of umbrellas, for sun or rain shade. Was a bit drizzly that night and we stayed dry as a bone.
Bread brought to the table was take it or leave it… may as well save your calories for the pasta & alcohol!
We ordered a bottle of prusseco for only $ 30, the wine here is a SUPER great deal! Couldn’t believe the prices! We took our time ordering food because there were sooooo many choices & they had a number of specials that all sounded delightful.
I decided on the swordfish (only $ 23) and my friend order a pasta & mozzarella dish ($ 16). The swordfish was cooked perfectly and had a nice lemon caper sauce. The meat was all white & tender, no yucky brown spots. Steamed broccoli was good (not soggy) roasted potatoes were a little dry, but tasty.
My friend’s pasta was perfectly cooked as well. The sauces was good and it had nice BIG chunks of fresh buffalo mozzarella. Portion size was more than enough — she could barely finish half.
We were too full to have any dessert, so we decided on some after dinner drinks. It was a nice way to cap of dinner & enjoy the people going by.
If you’re in any kind of hurry, I would not recommend eating here. We were here about 3 hours and all we had was a bottle of wine, entrees and after dinner drinks. We were happy with our time, but be aware nothing happens too quickly. I really enjoyed not being rushed or hurried. Sometimes, if we needed something it would be a while before we would see our waiter to ask for anything. So, if you don’t mind the hands off, take your time approach to service this is the place for you for a good, decently priced Italian dinner!
