Trattoria Leonardo - Toronto, Ontario

This is the best Italian food in the West end. How rare, to say every dish - even outside your comfort zone - is utterly delicious. The award-winning tiramisu gets made in-house. Service is quick and friendly. When in Etobicoke, looking for Italian food without trying Trattoria Leonardo is a ... mistake. Leonardo's theme is "comfortable dining" - a Trattoria is the polar opposite to 'an expensive restaurant, with over-the-top attempts at a fancy menu'. Leonardo's interior design is almost like eating a meal at "your Italian grandma's house". It's not fancy, but it has a homely quality of warmth. Tables and seating is spaced out. The menu has all the Italian favourites you expect to see - with some house recipes you wouldn't. The wine and drink menu is simple... ...and, again, the menu is out of this world top to bottom. It's as if "your Italian grandmother", with all of those 'wow-tasting secret family recipes', is cooking for you - in generous portions, too. Soup. Salad. Pasta. Lasagna. Veal. Lamb. You cannot miss - they're all going to be heavenly. The service staff is amazing, too. Whether you eat fast or slow, you're accommodated. Your happiness is paramount. Even if you're walk-in customers, they'll fit you in and you'll get the same standards of care. Bottom line, Trattoria Leonardo is not just the best value dining for Italian restaurants in Etobicoke - it's one of the best Italian restaurants, period. Read more

Authentic Italian food, friendly staff and old school vibes. Must go!

Cute little resto. Extremely attentive and friendly staff. We received complimentary bruschetta to start. Toasty and warm bread topped with fresh tomatoes, well seasoned. Calamari was lightly battered and fried perfectly golden brown. My friend and I were sharing everything and the server brought out two plates of veal ... Marsala each with half portion of meat, veggies and potatoes. I thought that was so thoughtful! Ended our meal with some coffee and tiramisu. It was a quiet night as we went on Monday evening but there were guests coming and going during our 2.5hr stay. One disappointment is that they don’t serve pizza as I was looking forward to trying some after seeing pics on Google review. Nonetheless, I’ll return to try other dishes. Read more

Amazing food and very attentive and friendly service. Also very authentic. Loved it!

Great environment and service!! The owner takes care of everybody, always asking if everything is ok with the service. Their Lasagna is definitely a 'go to'!!! Love the Veal in the Today's Special Menu as well! Definitely recommended!
