Queens Road is home to many stylish shops, cafes, and restaurants, and if you're in the area and in search of a genuine Italian restaurant, visit the friendly Don Leone. Daytime diners who have enjoyed al fresco breakfasts will be glad to know that the smart little place is also open in the evening.

In the daytime feast on homemade burgers, salads, pizza and pasta, jacket potatoes, and a croque monsieur stuffed with farmhouse ham and cheddar, and toasted on bread smothered with wholegrain mustard.

The dinner menu opens with starters of thick focaccia bread and garlic butter, and juicy mussels with tomatoes, fresh herbs, and Napoli sauce. Mains include choices such as steak Diane, and calf liver alla Veneziana, fresh liver pan-fried with garlic, red onion, white wine, and rosemary. The meat dream pizza brings together salami, Parma ham, pepperoni and prosciutto in a sumptuous celebration, while the flavoursome salmon tagliatelle is another of their lovely creations.

Classic desserts of tiramisu and pannacotta help end in true Italian style. A short drinks list complements proceedings.
