We are retired and our aim is to eat out most every night.. We were blessed to be guests at Leonardo’s tonight. There are not enough stars to indicate what a phenomenal experience it was. The food was great and plentiful, the owner -BOB – was as gracious and accommodating far beyond any expectation. Dining at Leonardo’s in Lawrenceville. Dining here was a sheer pleasure and absolute joy. I recommend it hghly!!!!

Chicken marsala and chicken francese were both fantastic. Server was very friendly but the was a huge party in another room (like 20 people) and they could have used another waitress for other tables so wait time was less. That being said food was great and service was very friendly. All in all a very enjoyable visit.

Hidden Gem in Italian restaurants. If you like Italian food, this is the perfect place for you to try. my fiancé and I went here for Mother’s Day special lunch , it was delicious the food is soooo tasty worth the time and money. Definitely coming back. Don’t forget to try that SEAFOOD RISOTTO

Great service from Magdelina, I ordered calamari and the beet salad with field greens, goat cheese, candied pecans and apples. Salad was a large serving that could serve 2 people and was very good. Calamari not as good, dry, overcooked, and server removed it from the bill. My friend ordered rigatoni with vodka sauce and really enjoyed it. Beautiful Nativity scene set up in restaurant. Overall a good experience.

Had my only daughters wedding shower here yesterday April 3 2022. From the time we found the place. To talking menu and placement of tables Robert was fantastic! I live 90 minutes from the restaurant and he made this so easy I highly recommend him and his staff. Kim was wonderful serving our party of 24.

I ordered food from here for first time this evening. I got the vodka rigatoni w/garlic bread. The food and the service was excellent. I’m so happy I went and I’ll be sure to visit again. I highly recommend!!

Came here for lunch on a Monday. Ordered the eggplant rollatini, veal saltimbocca, and Mona Lisa (lobster ravioli topped with smoked salmon). Also received a fresh, warm basket of bread. The rosé sauce on the ravioli was deliciously creamy. The veal was tender. Great presentation.

I have been here 3 separate times over 3 years. And I have never had a good experience here. The wait time is abysmal, I have ordered the same steak, medium rare, no sauce uncooked vegetables for the side 3 times and not once have I gotten what I ordered. If I could rate this place lower than 1 star I would. Having said that, this is only my experience and many people have had much better luck than me. But do no go here if you have young children or picky eaters.

Perfect cozy place with nice ambience. Lots of vegetarian options on the menu and willing to accomodate customizations. However, being a vegetarian i could smell lot of seafood throughout the dining time coming from the kitchen and also pungent in the glassware which made it an unpleasant experience.

Awesome experience!!! Family friendly environment and great service and great food!! The owner Rob is present and gets to know his customers. Excellent customer service and great place to eat.
