Leonti on Upper West Side Is a ‘Boldly Creative’ Italian Restaurant, Critic Says | Eater NY

"I really dug the bread at Leonti’s, the new Upper West Side restaurant by chef Adam Leonti: a durum-wheat focaccia with a “burnished bronze” crust and an interior that’s “bubbled” and “stretchy,” made by the chef himself and “magnificent.” I enjoyed the rest of the meal too—dishes felt “boldly creative” and “excitingly esoteric.” The lasagna is a single, upside-down artichoke served with green noodles and béchamel sauce; the chicken in pastella is “supremely crunchy”; and even desserts, like a “wonderfully subtle” olive-oil-peperoncino gelato, shouldn’t be skipped." - Carla Vianna
