Easily one of my favorite spots in Oxford! Great ambience, excellent service and the food is amazing. Can't go wrong with any of the pastas and the Bianca pizza with a Caesar salad is my fave. I usually just get a margarita but they have several crafted cocktails along with a great wine menu. Also their brunch menu is amazing! Only tough piece is having to get a reservation days in advance because they fill so quickly. But clearly when it's that good, certainly expected!

Dinner for 8. - Ambiance (4*) Dark and moody inside but a bit noisy. Lots of college kids around but dressed nicely either in groups or on dates. - Service (3*) Our waiter was friendly but perhaps a bit awkward? He made a bunch of strange jokes that didn't really land. He also suggested that we order 2 portions of the smaller olives, which would have been good except that we also ordered the Salumi Board which came with olives. Would have been nice if he had pointed that out. Two of our entrees came out a good 5 minutes after the rest arrived, creating that awkward moment where everyone stares at their dish but elects to wait. - House Marinated Olives, $7 (5*) Not too salty. Could actually taste the rosemary, garlic, and chili. I told one of the guys who works for me that if I was ever upset with him, he should just send me a jar of these olives, and I might get over it. - Salumi Board, $32 (5*) Loved the grilled bread. Is it really just garlic bread grilled? It tasted too good for that to be the case? Then that stracciatella cheese with honey dripped on top of the bread? I told that same guy he should send me some bread and cheese along with the olives! - White Beans, $13.50 (5*) This guy, who's local, told me not to order the white beans even though he'd never had them himself. It's a good thing I persevered. So good! Great texture and flavor, and the heat from the chili flakes just made the whole thing a unique experience. I could've eaten a whole plate of this on its own. - Classic Meatballs, $22.50 (3*) Meatballs in marinara sauce. That's really all it was. Compared to all the superstars, this was decidedly mundane. - Bacon Jam & Calabrian Chili Honey Pizza, $19.50 (5*) I'll overlook the slight sogginess on the pizza because the flavor was something I'd never had on pizza before, and boy was it great! The waiter had suggested putting pepperonis on top- thank goodness we didn't listen because that would've covered up the startling delicious sweet and spicy flavors. As a pizza snob from New Haven, CT, I am picky about my pizza. Color me impressed. - Grilled Red Snapper, $42 (2*) How sad to finish the meal with an overcooked, overly salty piece of red snapper. - Value (3*) I found the meatballs and salumi board overpriced. Everything else was just right. - Final Word If I had only eaten the appetizers, and the service were a bit smoother, this would easily be 5*. When I'm back in town, I'm coming just to munch on olives and pizza!!

Best restaurant in Oxford! Food tasted great, my waiter was very professional and knowledgable. The ambiance made me feel like I was somewhere in Italy, and not in Mississippi. I would recommend this restaurant to families to a teen who is considering going to Ole Miss.

We ate here before I Oxford high school game one Friday night. Very cool atmosphere, service was great and the food was delicious.

This is such an Ole Miss sorority (and their parents) spot, but we needed a late lunch in Oxford on a Sunday, and those are hard to come by. Food was super rich, tons of butter. Needed a couple bottles pink champagne to cut through the heavy, but we had miles to go before we slept. Come to think of it, we were about the only folks in the restaurant not drinking. The room is essentially a big bar with TVs in the center--and white tablecloths--so it covers a lot of ground. Best advice--drink up!

Saint Leo is an 11/10 dining experience. Everything from the service, ambiance, and of course the food itself is amazing. The hostesses are always extremely accommodating and professional while the servers and bartenders are always well spoken and incredibly professional. The manager, Little, made my fiancé and I's experience all that much better. My fiancé and I have dined all over the country and we've never had a more professional yet personal experience. We were visiting from Southern California and somehow found ourselves back there every day during our stay!

Came here on brunch, it was a rainy morning so that may have been why we were seated so quickly. However, it took over 10 minutes for our server to come and that was a bit sketch to me. The brunch menu is limited. I will say, the avocado toast is a 10/10. From the eggs.. bread. Perfect. Our other guest had a salad and he raved about how fresh it was. My dish was described as a pancake but it tasted like bread pudding. I love bread pudding, but it wasn't what I was expecting for my first meal of the day. I won't get this again. The mimosa was generous. It came out to be ten dollars. Overall, the ambiance was nice and restroom really clean.

Saint Leo is the best dining experience in Oxford. The food always exceeds expectations and the cocktail menu is always impressive. Saint Leo has an atmosphere that is formal yet comfortable. The service is always top notch. I've visited Saint Leo quite a few times. My most recent visit was for a birthday dinner at the end of April. Our server Lauren (what a great name!) was so fun and attentive. While their dinner is always divine, I highly recommend swinging into Saint Leo for brunch to get the bubbles and fries!

Great place on the square in Oxford. We popped down there without reservations on a Wednesday night. I recommend getting reservations or you'll be in the bar, which is cool but the chairs are uncomfortable. They had plenty of open booths but one hostess was quick to hush the other when she pointed that out. Extensive wine list, beer options are all IPAs that frankly I don't like. Pizza was good-very NY style with the super thin crust. Not sure I'd drop $20 on this again. Their pasta was what brought us here as my work colleague had it previously and was craving it. She loved it but I have to be honest, $40 for a bowl of bolognese and a glass of red seems a bit much, coming from a girl who has been to Italy and had the real deal. All in all, good atmosphere and food but I think if we find ourselves in the square again we'll try another spot.
