Tucked just south of Union Square, Leon’s blends the warmth of a neighborhood Italian restaurant with a cosmopolitan edge. The menu draws on both Italian and Egyptian traditions, balancing comfort and surprise in equal measure. Inside, a softly lit dining room hums with energy—spacious enough for a crowd, yet intimate in tone. Whether seated at the marble bar or gathering in the private dining room, guests are met with the same sense of understated hospitality that defines Anton’s, the ownership duo’s beloved West Village spot.
