One usually expects to be greeted with a warm welcome and a ‘good evening’ when one enters a restaurant, but at Leonardo’s just got a grunt from the waitress (owner? , followed by a ‘sit there’ pointing to a nearby table. I was slightly taken aback by this and responded by politely saying that actually I didn’t want to ‘sit there’, but preferred a round table by the window. I won’t go into more detail but this was simply the most miserable person I have come across serving in a restaurant. In my opinion and experience, a waitress should be amiable and maybe smile now and then, but to my mind this one was more suited to being a prison guard. Anyway, orders were taken and the food appeared qui...
I booked the whole restaurant for a birthday party. I chose the restaurant as its small homely. My children with my husband arranged everything. It was well organised and everything went smoothly. My daughter was able to decorate the place beforehand. The dishes were tasty hot. Everyone enjoyed their food. We were allowed to bring birthday cakes. I highly recommend Leonardo’s for private special events. Although there are only mother daughter working together they delivered very good meals service.
Great good, good potions sizes and the quality was there too. Mother and daughter, mother out front and daughter cooking. Locals seem to know them well but I can see other peoples views. Fairly frosty receptions. I went when it was quiet so service wasn’t slow but I can imagine when busy it could really slow down. Still g lad I chose local over prezzo, would recommend visiting
We have visited a few times for both lunch and dinner. Always a great experience and tasty food. The owner serves and her daughter cooks. A lone waitress in a packed restaurant keeping her eye on everyone the whole time and giving such an excellent, attentive and efficient service to her diners is an art form to admire. We will definitely be back. Book a table now
What a lovely gem of a restaurant . The food is hot, delicious and served with a smile . This is a small family run restaurant and makes a welcome change from the big impersonal chains. The atmosphere was lovely with locals coming out for dinner . I would thoroughly recommend this lovely little restaurant .
Poor service. Poor atmosphere. Poor hygiene. Poor food. Would never return even if you paid me. Dirty glasses, curdled ricotta and a hair in a ‘carbonara’… but to be honest if you go there and don’t ask for another bread roll, a second drink or a smile you’ll be sweet. Up the leanardos!
Second visit, High quality food priced correctly. Staff attentive but not pushy. Good wine choice and helpful advice. My wife had the fish and she adored it, normally picky with everything. Would recommend.
An independent Italian restaurant with gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere. Tasty, nice music, intimate Excellent location Great for couples, friends, or families. Highly recommended Book a table now
