"We dined at Leonardo 's in April as a birthday celebration, the couple we were with are regulars, but this was our first visit. Although it is a small restaurant, it does not feel cramped, in fact I prefer a snug restaurant, rather than those that appear like a school dining room.I would highly recommend Leonardo 's and here is why : 1) Friendly warm welcome on arrival, the staff are genuinely friendly.2) Table was well laid out with a complimentary bowl of olives which my fellow diners said were delicious, but after having a traumatic experience when I was coerced into eating an olive by my geography teacher in 1970 when olive oil was something you put in your ear, it makes shudder to see people eat them. There was a delicious complimentary plate of bruschetta that was full of flavour.3) Menus were provided and drinks order taken within 5 to 10 minutes of our arrival.4) Our waiter politely asked after 10 to 15 minutes if we were ready to order, He was helpful in explaining dishes and giving recommendations.5) Our first course arrived after about 10 minutes, I had squid in a chilli and tomato sauce fabulous, decent quantity of squid and sauce was just spicy enough cause a little perspiration on the brow.6) For my main course I had Pollo Gorby, chicken breast and prawns in a mushroom, brandy and cream sauce, served with rustic chips. The chicken was moist and tender and sauce smooth and rich, and full of flavour. Excellent!7) Feeling full I chose lemon sorbet for dessert, the sorbet was served inside a hollowed out frozen lemon. Just sharp enough and a great dessert to finish a meal.8) My fellow diners were all delight with their food and service.9) Some reviewers have said the waiters were perhaps a little over zealous, but could not fault them. Friendly and attentive to our requirements.All in all an excellent evening. I thought the timeliness of the serving of our meal was just right. Hard to fault."

We have visited this restaurant many times and never been dissappointed. We visited tonight and the welcome was excellent together with the food which has a wide menu together with a board of special starters and mains which are very reasonably priced. I had the lamb special which was delicious and very tender. If you are anywhere near West Boldon give it a try and you won't be dissappointed.

An intimate setting but I didn 't find it cramped or uncomfortable at all. It had an authentic feel and I think the comments about it looking like someone 's living room are greatly exaggerated. I couldn 't fault the food and the complimentary bruschetta was a nice bonus. Waiters were very polite and knew exactly what they were serving. The owner, Marcello provided hilarious banter and a floor show all night and I didn 't find him at all intrusive. He added a touch of fun to the atmosphere and the dining experience. Overall a great evening and I can 't wait to go back.

We came here for the first time on a busy Saturday night, booking in advance as we'd heard good reviews. It's a higgledy piggledy layout but I think that adds to the charm of the place. We were given a complementary starter of bruschetta while checked out the menu the specials board. We both chose from the specials board of scallops baked with baby prawns king prawns chozio in the spicy tomato sauce both excellent. We then had the fillet steak with a truffle sauce lovely brown chips. My husband had monkfish with mussels king prawns in a spicy tomato broth with wedges of bread brown chips. He said it was tremendous but couldn't manage any chips because the fish was so good. We had a bottle of...

My family and I visit this restaurant regularly! The staff are all very friendly and there is always a pleasant atmosphere. Yes the restaurant is small, however i don't feel that is something that is detrimental to our dining experience. If anything the intimate venue allows for a more personal experience. One staff member in particularly, a legendary older man is hilarious! Again not everyone's cup of tea but it's nice to see a place and staff that have a bit of craic and character. Food is of a good standard and very reasonably priced! Yes the car park is small and fits only a few cars in, but due to its location many customer like to walk to the venue from their home and enjoy a glass of...

It was time to meet up with a couple of friends, and we wanted a restaurant that was placed near to where people lived and could get too without too much travelling. So we booked a table for 6 at Leonardo 's in East Boldon. I have been before and knew that it was 'class in a glass '!! Got sat down on time drinks came quickly and the menu and specials were pointed out. I love sea food as does most of our group and so the scallops and and Calamari with King prawns were two favorites. The scallops are in three shell dishes and accompanied with prawns in a light Italian sauce. Fab! I had Sea Bass for my mains apparently the pasta dish with lobster filling, was terrific and my tempura King prawns...
