Leonardo's -pizzeria - SOLVANG

Leonardo’s is the most incredible Italian food we’ve ever had in our lives. And the espresso martini was to die for. Make a reservation on the weekend because they’re busy. The Osso Buco was everything and more- the pasta was sensational. We reallycan’t say enough about this place. Amazing!!

I enjoy eating at Leonardo’s Ristorante-Pizzeria when I was vacationing with my family. So I have the Chicken Parmigiana which I read from the Yelp Review is popular for their dish and it is really delicious and filling. And for the Appetizers we have theBurrata alla Mediterraneo which is really good. I also enjoy eating the Spumoni Ice Cream which is also good. So this is a goodplace for eating dinner when going on a Trip on Solvang.

Definitely Worth to waited,That's what I would describe this place! My husband and I made a reservations through open table at 7.15 pm on Friday of this Memorial's day weekend and when we got there we still have to wait for another 10-15 min for the tablewhich is ok because they are quite busy. We got seated in the back patio where it was a cover and have a heater on,So it'scomfortable. The service : Our server Arturo and all of the staffs who filled up our water,Who clean up our table,Who broughtour food are superrrrr nice and friendly.The service are worth more than 5 stars for sure. Let's talk about the food : SpaghettiMeatball.Perfectly cook Spaghetti with yummy Marinara sauce and 4 large meatball and it was delicious. Crispy Calamari Which Irequest it to be very crispy and it's came very crispy and perfectly cook! Caesar salad : Hands down one of the best caesarsalad we have ever had.Their homemade crouton were so good! Ciopoino,A star of the show.Came in a large bowl and I mean it'shuge.Seafood are so fresh and perfectly cook,The broth are out of this world and what I love about this dish was the soup remainhot! Until I finished! I think the bowl they use are special bowl because it's trap the heat in side for so long! At the end ofthe day dessert : Panna Cotta,It was so good! The sauce were great and the custard itself were not too sweet and the texture wasperfect! Italian food in Solvang? Heck yes! Definitely come back!

Food was 5 star but the service ???????? Wait staff ruined the experience! Besides my waiter and every other wait staff walking past me with my empty drink by the edge of the table ate my meal without a drink). I got to hear an older wait staff be littlethe younger staff, gossip, one with long finger nails kept picking and flicking them together like she was playing aninstrument, which was disgusting, especially when she was right in front of my table. Then as I was walking out, food to go inone hand and the other arm in an immobilizer sling, 4 wait staff moved out of the way in front of the door so I could exit. Ittook another customer who saw my inability to open the door who helped me get the door open. The above were just the worst ofwhat happened on my first and last experience there. But if you don't care about service, the food is quite excellent!!!

I've been there about four times that I live in Georgia. Leonardo's is a great Italian restaurant, and I always try to go eat there with my best friend Jennifer Thompson and her husband Nate. Sometimes the kids as well they're very close with twindaughters of Leonardo. I have had some great Italian food even here in Georgia but you know the portions and then wine and allof the above are just fabulous, their servers so glad Luigi's back we are so glad to hear that and he's hilarious, he'sauthentic and he's very good and he has that dry sense of humor you just got to love it. Such a great authentic atmosphere, great food as always. I always end up buying the same bottle of wine I did this time I bought it last time and we had a greattime, and I don't see it changing for us to go there every time I come back home to California I'm very happy to do that it'sone of my favorites for sure!
