Leto's Osteria

We had a lovely Sunday night dinner at Leto's Osteria recently. Sat at the bar, which has a great feel. Excellent drinks. The potato appetizer with the trout roe and dill humus was perfect. For entrees, my wife had the swordfish baked in parchment, I had the bucatini carbonara. Both were fabulous. We can't say enough about the quality of the experience. Run, don't walk to Leto's. We'll definitely be back.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you like it when your food tastes really good, then you should probably eat here. My girlfriend and I had the michigan asparagus gratinato to start followed by the mushroom mafaldine and the shrimp arrabbiata. Our waitress had great recommendations and everything was a slam-dunk when it came to flavor. Be sure to save room for dessert because we ended the night with their strawberry cheesecake and it was delicious! Also they box your food for you which is so rare in the United States these days, so bonus points for that.

The staff and food are 10/10. From the drink selection down to the desserts, the warmth of the decor, and the kind staff.. this is the place to be. Every bite is an adventure in its own & I love enjoying what letos has to offer! Grateful for good food.

Chef Ray has a deep love and passion for his art and you can taste it in every bite! We have had the pleasure of dining at Letos twice now and still have more we want to come back to try. This is the place to go in Northern Michigan!

Wonderful dinner at LETO'S OSTERIA. The Cauliflower Frito was amazing. We will definitely be back. The other dishes in the pictures are Shaved Brussel Sprouts (caesar style), Mushroom Mafaldine, Bucatini Carbonara. Drinks are Spiced Pear Spritz and Ray's Black Manhattan.

I’m not kidding when I say this is the best meal I’ve had in Northern Michigan in the past 30 years. The food is truly incredible! I’m from Texas and we always look for flavor in what we eat, and you’ll find that here. The service was incredible as well! The chef took time to come speak with us, and every member of the staff we spoke with was so friendly and knowledgeable. Cannot wait to come back!

We made a reservation earlier in the week for a party of 8 as part of a friends weekend getaway. When we arrived at our reservation time, we were told our table was not ready and it would be 15 to 20 minutes. In the moment this was a little disappointing (especially since there was a deposit of $25/person to hold the reservation), but we were offered two tables near the entry area, next to the bar to sit at and wait. The server and hostess were very kind throughout. Even though we were eventually seated about 30 minutes late, our server was wonderful and comped our first round of drinks due to the late seating (as it was 9pm at this point). The service, food, drinks and atmosphere were great and I appreciate how they navigated the situation with kindness and flexibility. Part of this was due to a rainy day, thus eliminating the ability to seat guests outside. I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in town and applaud the service team for being amazing hosts.

Just tried it for the first time—and it’s easily the best restaurant in the region. I’ve been coming up here for 40 years, and it’s a rare pleasure to discover a team so committed to flavor and quality—and able to deliver it so well. The service was outstanding, too. Already looking forward to coming back.

Service and ambiance was great! The food absolutely delivered--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We started with the burrata, which was creamy and perfectly paired. The mushroom pasta was rich, earthy, and comforting, while the rigatoni had just the right bite of spice and was full of flavor. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared and authentic.

They refuse to make accommodations to dietary restrictions and are incredibly rude about it. Avoid at all costs

Four of us were there just after opening. The space is pretty loud and the tables are VERY close together. The shaved Brussel sprouts were really good. However, we had four different entrees that disappointed. The menu has changed so telling you what we had would be irrelevant. We all agreed that things were a little under seasoned and very over salted. I hope, for their sake, they dial it in. I'll be listening for feedback from friends' experiences.

Went for my wife's birthday with a group and we had a truly wonderful experience!! The pastas were outstanding! Pricey, but large portions and for the quality it felt worth it! The main dish we split and it was outstanding as well! But the highlight was the zeppolis! One of the best desserts I've had in northern Michigan!!! I live here and so to me, that's huge!!!! The staff was so nice and helpful and the chef went out of his way to be seen and was charming and kind! We will be back and we will tell everyone about it!!! Thanks!!!

Excellent wait staff. We arrived on time but our table wasn't ready. We were seated at another table, served drinks then moved to the table we requested. The food was excellent. Started with the asparagus appetizer, followed by the Cacio e Pepe, absolutely wonderful! Will definitely be coming back.

This is not a restaurant to bring kids to. They have zero options for kids and are unwilling to make adjustments to accommodate at all. Most of their dishes are pasta dishes, so we asked them to just have two orders of pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese on the side for the kids. We figured that this would be easy considering they had Cacio e Pepe on the menu. Their response was that they were unable to boil plain noodles for us. Overall, the other food that we had was decent but they seem to think that they are a Michelin-rated restaurant or something. Rude staff definitely were off-putting. I would definitely go elsewhere if you have kids.
