Reviews Summary
Leonardo Wine Bar is celebrated as a gem of authentic Italian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, particularly noted for its charming garden seating and generous portions. While many praise the family-run charm and value, a few reviewers have expressed disappointment with food quality, citing issues like microwaved pasta and stale pastries.
"Exceptional experience and service.
We had to enter the Al Fresco entrance and were given choice of seating area. Outside they have a really pretty covered garden you can sit in. Inside gangways and mirrors. It is kind of confusing that the different restaurants are linked and we had to request which menu we wanted. This isn't clear. The owner greeted us and served us personally. Service was fast and the food portions were really large that we took some home.
My sister and I were only able to stay for a short visit at lunch. We had taken our Grandma to the hairdrssser so had a time limit. We both ordered cokes and vegetarian pasta from the wine bar menu. We had ordered our Grandma the Lasagna to take away as she is still uncomfortable going to a public place without a mask due to age. All 3 dishes were part of the eat out to help out. She loved her lasagna and it was perfectly hot when we took it home."

""Grazie mille" to Leonardo and his team for once again being such wonderful hosts at this rare gem of authentic Italian cuisine and drinks (the superb soup of the day was plant-based/vegan and is highly recommended!) with a magical garden-area, and wine-bar offering classics such as Bellinis and Limoncello πΈ"

"Updated June 2023;
After a couple of years and a revamp, Leonardo Wine Bar is back open and what a transformation. The wine bar has a fresh appearance and blends the original old style with the new. You may be on the south circular but as soon as you walk in you are transported to Italy. The food, the service and the atmosphere all remain as they were....exceptional. I am so glad it is back as a staple of East Sheen!
Old review;
What else can you say about Leonardo Wine Bar other than exceptional. This is authentic Italian food and service at its best in the middle of the wonderful East Sheen village. Anything you eat here will make you feel like you are in the heart of Italy!"
