Paisano

Really enjoyed this place! Small, cozy environment. I got the garlic knots (splurge for the mozzarella) and the Venezuelan shredded beef with fried egg, black beans, rice and avocado. My friend got the veggie pizza and enjoyed it. Our waitress was kind and funny but a little distracted. Cocktails were good!

The food at this location was absolutely Fantastic! My husband adored the crispy pepperoni on his pizza and my pasta was something I have never had before and it was delicious! Our waiter was beyond knowledgeable about the menu and his recommendations for us were absolutely spot on! When in Roanoke make sure to stop by and order anything on the menu! You will NOT be disappointed!

I’m gluten sensitive and I was visiting family 42 minutes away in Rocky Mount and this lovely gem popped up on the list of gluten free foods. I want to thank the bartender, she helped me navigate the menu and assured me that the ladies in the kitchen take precautions when it comes to food allergies. I ordered 3 arepas and plantains and OMG, sooooo freaking delicious! That beef and chicken was seasoned to perfection, plantains were delicious, and that creamy cilantro sauce was on point! This will be my go-to restaurant whenever I’m in the area. Great staff and great food 👍🏽

Leonore's has to be a hidden treasure in Roanoke. We went late but, man, was it worth it! First, thanks to our beautiful and fantastic server Audrey. She helped us with the dishes on the menu and made some fantastic suggestions. We started out with the grilled chicken wings. These are full wings, not sections, and prepared perfectly a great blend of seasonings. We could have eaten them alone, but the mojito and spicy bbq sauces enhanced them even more. The side salads had lots of tomatoes and toppings and the house dressing was great with them. I had the Pabellón Criollo which was a deliciously seasoned shredded beef with various sides and my friend had the Leonore's Paella with tender chicken and plenty of large shrimp. I don't know which was better. We didn't have a chance to try a dessert as we were so full from the food, but the next time we come back, we'll definitely save room. And maybe order more wings as we fought over that last wing that we took home! Audrey made us feel right at home and had a great sense of humor. I can't wait to return. Thanks Audrey!
