"Leonelli Bakery offers a variety of crusty bread and sugary pastries. The eggplant parmigiana focaccia is a perfect sidewalk snack with its layers of eggplants, marinara sauce, mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, and basil." - Eater Staff
"Chef Jonathan Benno of Italian hotspots Leonelli and Benno is selling a $150 barbecue kit for two to four people that includes a 28-ounce black garlic-rubbed ribeye steak; asparagus; garlicky potatoes and herbs; and a strawberry-rhubarb crostata for dessert." - Eater Staff
"Next month will feature lauded chef Jonathan Benno of New York’s Leonelli restaurants as well as Marc Rosati, who started working at the tavern’s famous wood-fired grill (for free) and is now the culinary director of Shake Shack." - Joe Harper
"Benno the restaurant, where the menu is prix fixe, joins the much more casual Leonelli Taberna, which serves Italian comfort food, and Leonelli Focacceria e Pasticceria, a counter offering focaccia, topped and sliced like pizza, plus pastries, sandwiches, and salads." - Hannah Goldfield
"There is pizza and flatbread here, but the cookies and cakes by pastry chef Lindsey Bittner are the real draw. Crisp cannoli are filled to order, mini chocolate bundt cakes sparkle beneath a mirrored glaze, and cucidati, the original fig newton, are soft and dense with sticky figs. Get a couple of anise biscotti and an espresso for a quick Italian breakfast, or order a cannoli, pistachio cornetto, and jam-filled bomboloni to eat on one of the hotel lobby’s comfortable couches. Go early and during the week for the freshest selection." - Daniela Galarza
