A sure thing - 'Leonardo's', as my family fondly calls it, is faithfully old school Canadian-Italian. From the carpeted floors and white tablecloths to the seasoned gentlemen waiters in black and white.
You know there's a good reason the majority of customers are older and well-known by staff. They've been coming back again and again for years. Well count me in cuz I'm hooked.
There are so many great menu choices you'll have to bring a gang and pass the plate every few minutes.
The Lasagna is an absolute favourite for my whole family;
The veal is delicious whichever way you order it;
Eggplant parm...is more like a veggie 'steak' on your plate;
Meatballs are awesome....
Calabrese salad the way Nona used to make it (only they use halepenio);
...and thank you for the always complimentery fresh bruschetta.
My ultimate favourite italian food is not actually on the menu (linguine a la vodka)...but that's not a problem! They are more than happy to accommodate me...it actually says so on their menu and it's soooo perfect. I love it again and again.
I highly recommend this gem.
