Leon’s
Description
Leon’s is a neighborhood Italian restaurant with French and Egyptian accents from Natalie Johnson and Nick Anderer (also of Anton’s in the West Village). The restaurant is inspired by Natalie’s heritage (named after her great grandfather, Leon Hakim) and the couple's travels together across the Mediterranean. Leon’s spotlights Anderer’s deep passion for Italian cuisine, as well as his thoughtful interpretations of treasured Hakim family recipes and culinary traditions passed down by way of Egypt and France. The restaurant’s beverage program, helmed by Johnson, complements and enhances the culinary offerings, highlighting winemakers, brewers, and distillers the couple and their team admire. The restaurant’s lovely, transporting design evokes the quiet, weathered beauty of an Italian seaside town, celebrates natural light, and preserves key architectural details of the building (circa 1895), and the duo spent years hand-selecting the furniture, fixtures, and art that adorn the space.
