Saint Leo Lounge - Oxford

Being from the east coast we were determined not to dine on Italian food while visiting the south. But when the hip Saint Leo was mentioned on our visit to the Oxford tourist information center we decided to give it a try. Wow! So glad we did. This is a top notch Italian eatery. From the grilled bread appetizer to the cappuccino. The pizza and salad were fabulous too. The service and entire staff could not have been more accommodating. Definitely a must dine spot if you are visiting Oxford.

First of all, very cool-looking hostess, dressed in black, with tattoos at the door. Loved that. Second, great looking space with Midcentury Modern elements. Well done. Third, beautiful and delicious cocktails. Thank you! And lastly, wonderful and yummy food. Bravo. I heard from a friend who lives in Oxford that the owner, Emily, is from NoCal (where I live). I really wanted to meet her and ask her what made her move to the South. I'm originally from TN and am loving my long sojourn in Oxford. Would love to know the story!

My husband and I enjoyed some drinks and a delicious pepperoni pizza during Happy Hour! Service was very personable and helpful! The music that was playing was great!

Overpriced, drinks are average but overpriced. Pizza is ok. I only ever get their black ink pasta. Service is always good but food is eh. Great atmosphere though for happy hour or drinks with the gals.

We celebrated our two sons at the end of June with our first dining experience at St Leo. Greeted by winsome Kirby, one of the managers, we were warmly welcomed. She was attentive but not obtrusive all evening. Delightful. And our server, Baylor, was also exceptional. He was knowledgable about the food, seasonings, and preparation; he served with such panache. Again delightful. Now to the FOOD. Glorious food. From appetizers to the finale, the meal was perfection. All delicious. We were served complimentary desserts which were outstanding. I should have made photos. We felt celebrated and special. Thank you, St Leo. We cannot wait to return. As our French friend is known to exclaim at the end of a fine meal, MAGNIFIQUE!
