About

At Cafe Leonelli, the rich traditions of Italian focacceria and pasticcerie shops come alive, and the timeless art of Italian baking melds seamlessly with modern culinary artistry. Led by The Bastion Collection’s Michelin-starred team and Executive Pastry Chef, Salvatore Martone hailing from Naples, Cafe Leonelli at the Museum of Fine Arts draws inspiration from bakeries and pastry shops of Italy. Cafe Leonelli has a deep respect for Italian culinary tradition while being inspired to bring something new to the table—something that reflects the nearby community with authentic Italian food made from local ingredients.
