We had family from out of town and they'd never been to the Leader Block so we thought it would be a great place to take them for dinner. I did not know it was under new ownership but soon learned Roberto was the new owner. He was wonderful and ultra-entertaining. He has in-depth knowledge of the wines on the wine list and did not steer us wrong. I was the only one who had white wine and Roberto recommended a glass of Anthilia. It was crisp, and delicious and went nicely with the scallops and wild mushroom risotto I ordered. My dinner was great and was a perfect portion size for me. The rest of the gang had red wine. I don't know what they ordered just that they loved it, and one person bought an extra bottle to take home. Two of the people in our group had the Oso Bucco and could not stop raving about it. Another had the cioppino and he said it was outstanding. My husband had the pork loin, and he said it was flavorful but dry. My brother had the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese. He said it was good. All in all, we had a very fun evening and look forward to going back.

Overall, a good experience. We were a party of 6 and everyone said they enjoyed their meal. Two people had the specials and for what the dish was, a bit overpriced. Not sure if they normally have any bread service, but none was served or offered. Selection of items are good and wine list quite extensive. Nice to see the restaurant busy that night. Definitely the best restaurant in Ferndale and one of the best Italian in the county.

I would not say the food was horrible but definitely not good. The scallops were supposed to be sea scallops but were the size of a nickel. More like a bay scallop, and this was on one of the "specials". There was only a handful of patrons, but we waited about an hour for our food. Thankfully we had wine. We all agreed McDonalds would have been better. We will not go back.

This was undoubtedly one of the worst meals we have ever had. The waiter started off by offering to cover our wine glasses with napkins to keep the fruit flies away , and it just got worse from there. Food was mediocre at best. Service was slow. Save yourself from a bad experience and go to any one of a number of better restaurants in the area.

My wife and I both order different meals from the separate “Specials” menu. They were special alright. Both meals were severely overcooked, under flavored, and not until the bill came did we find out that these “Specials” were higher priced than anything on the regular menu. (There were conspicuously no prices on the Specials menu). To add insult to injury, the service was very infrequent, the drinks were expensive and mediocre, and the restaurant was about 80 degrees with flies constantly invading our table. The weather in our area was low 70’s and overcast at the time, and clearly the restaurant has no A/C. We had eaten here a couple other times over a year ago and had good experiences both times. Not sure what happened, but we won’t be dining there again.

We love Italian food and Leader Block lives up to our expectations every time. We always start with the delicious bruschetta and I always go back to Rigatoni Bolognese. My husband had the salmon, said it was perfect. Others had rave reviews for the Fettuccine Alfredo. We will be back. Best Italian bistro. A sparkling diamond in Ferndale WA.

We had a very nice meal for a birthday celebration. Both the specials and the regular menu items were very good. The server was attentive and knowledgeable. It was a quiet Tuesday night, just a few tables, so it felt even more private.

We absolutely loved our dinner. We were a party of six and were out to enjoy our time. The staff took very good care of us and we did not feel rushed. The owner visited our table several times throughout the night to make recommendations and and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Well done Leader Block. We will be back.

After living in Europe for nearly 40 years (some of it inItaly), we finally found a restaurant that has the old world feeling along with outstanding food. The staff is well trained and checks on patrons often or see that every need is met. Robert and Roberto, owners, know how to do things right. We will return frequently and highly recommend this establishment for Italian food lovers!!!!!! Tom, Bowen Island,BC.
