I must say that I visited Mamma Leone's in 1974. I was one of the most magnificant meals I had ever enjoyed.
The atmosphere was warm and the patrons were colorful.

Does your Leones cookbook have a recipe for the sauce (light pink) that was served with their shrimp appetizer which was served to everyone. If so please send me the recipe or the exact title of the book.

Thank you.

I'm reading Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani and it mentioned Mama Leone. Not being very Italian (although toured Italy), I was curious because my new 8 week old granddaughter was given the middle name of Leone after a deceased grandmother on her father's side. Was she famous for a restaurant in NYC or the song? Does Leone mean lion? Just curious.

My first trip to mamma leone's was in the late 60's (maybe as late as 1972.) The entre was duck in grape sauce--duck cooked 'til tender in a slightly sweet sauce with grapes. Not wine. So good I've never enjoyed duck done any other way, and I can't find the recipe anywhere. Is it in Gene Leone's cookbook? I get no hits from google, and have never found a recipe for duck anything like it.

It was Xmas very early 80's. My husband and my two young children along with two of our close friends enjoyed the most wonderful meal in the wine cellar. It was one of the best memories. The complete dinner was wonderful..The roast prime ribs of beef at that time was 22.00. That was a small fortune for us back then. I still have 3 menu's and a mamma leone's pin. I wish someone would bring mamma back with the same ambiance. Thank you Mamma

In the early 50's, I was a Cadet at West Point. If we were in uniform in line at Mama Leones,for reasons I don't recall,someone would immediately escort us to the front of the line .... was a gesture which I shall never forget! Thank you Mamma Leones!!

Mamma Leone's is now re-opening in the old Tavern on the Green space in Central Park.

April fools winking smiley
Just to be clear… everything in yesterday's MUG was bogus. Specifically:


Mamma Leone's is not taking over Tavern on the Green.

Citibank CEO Vikram Pandit has not written a book called Service This!

Staten Island has not been demoted from borough to protectorate.

Frank Gehry has not designed two new levels over the High Line.

Nicolai Ouroussoff does not do a weekly tribute to Mr. Gehry (at least not at the Times Center).

The Roundabout is not producing a season that would revive current Broadway shows.

Judith Miller is not having a sample sale of her notes on WMDs.
