“ A light dinner of delicious Carpaccio & espresso martini with the chocolate souffle The men servers, were excellent totally on top of it, made a Espresso Martini. I wish I had more time to try more of their food but just in town for a night. But will come back next time to try their pasta. ”
“ Leonardo's is a great place for a family dinner. Excellent service and delicious food make this a no-brainer to eat. Our party ordered a variety of pasta dishes and a Margherita pizza which was excellent. The Spaghetti with meatballs and marinara is what I ordered and was very impressed at the flavor. ”
“ Wife and I loved the eggplant parm. Others in group of ten also liked their meals and desserts. The lemon sorbet needed to be defrosted before serving. Recommended. ”
“ We stopped by Solvang for lunch during a birthday road trip to LA. The restaurant seemed to attract more locals than tourists. We ordered Panne Pescatore and Spaghetti Alla Carbonara, both popular choices. The panne was perfectly seasoned and delicious, while the carbonara was a bit bland but paired nicely with the salty bacon. When we mentioned the birthday, the server surprised us with a pudding cake, making the experience even more special. The interior had plenty of artwork, and I especially loved the landscape paintings in the hallway to the restroom. With kind staff, good food, and a quiet atmosphere, it’s a great Italian restaurant I’d highly recommend! ”
“ Visiting Solvang for the first time, my family and I went twice to this restaurant! I really enjoyed the two meals I had - Fish of the day (I chose the Halibut), and it came with such yummy potatoes! I also had the Chicken parmesan, the right amount of seasoning and cheese, and it was very soft! Also the (non-alcoholic) cucumber sparkling drink! Oh! And that tiramisu was one of the best ones I've tried so far! The bartender, waiters, host, cooks, busser, and every staff member were so nice! And they even recognized us coming back. I want to come back here to try the pastas! Till next time and thank you for such a wonderful time. Appreciation from a family from Oakland, CA! :) ”
“ Leonardo’s Ristorante Pizzeria delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food and service were excellent, with our waiter, Shannon, providing impeccable service—he truly has the perfect character for this role, making our meal even more enjoyable. The lasagna and lobster ravioli were superbly prepared, rich in flavor, and cooked to perfection. The calamari was excellent—crispy and tender—while the bread was fresh, airy, and a perfect complement to the meal. The highlight of the evening was the Limoncello dessert, which was the best I’ve had—including during my international travels to Italy. One minor suggestion: I’d recommend omitting the chocolate drizzle on the plate, as it detracts from the pure, refreshing Limoncello flavor. Overall, an outstanding experience, and I highly recommend Leonardo’s to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine! ”
