"We had a lovely lunch at Leone. The restaurant is a short walk from Menton centre, set back from the main seafront road. We sat outside, but under cover from a canopy and trees. There were daily specials alongside the main menu. Despite telling the waiter that I was vegetarian he proceeded to reel off the meat/fish dishes it felt quite a rehearsed speech! I attempted to speak Italian, but wasn't sure the waiters were really listening. One waiter was really lovely, while another one seemed quite stressed especially when a large party of diners arrived. However, this did not put us off. I ordered the tempura courgette/zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, and a second plate was given to DH so we could share. DH tried one, and enjoyed it so much we shared them. It was a very generous portion for one, and the batter was so light. Absolutely delicious I would go back just for those! For main I chose the pappardelle with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. Very fresh and again, a very generous portion. DH had the ravioli filled with aubergine and Scamorza sausage. Along with the food we had a large bottle of water, a half litre of wine, and DH finished with a coffee all for €70. Would definitely return and the food was so much better than the other Italian restaurant we had visited in Menton (in our opinion!"
