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!
5 /5 Joanne Price: I popped in to buy their freshly made tiramisu ! It was sooo delicious!! Highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back for a meal with my husband.
5 /5 Harri Osborne: 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 isnt 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.
5 /5 Vicky Griffiths: Leonardos Wine Bar is hands down the best restaurant in SW London. Such unbelievable value and always an absolute pleasure! Amazing staff, for whom nothing is ever too much trouble, fantastic atmosphere both inside and out, and brilliant food. Cannot recommend enough - Leonardos is as unique and enjoyable a dining experience as you will find in London!
Chenyu Shou Lovely man who loves his pork and chicken :) he’s super nice and gave us generous samples. We loved everything we ate there and the value is incredible! We got the 2 meat combo for £13 and it was enough to feed two!
Daniella We went for lunch this week all having the set menu (opting for 2 courses) which was steak and chips with bearnaise sauce and this BEAUTIFUL marshmallowy whip with gingered rhubarb and a sweet sorbet. Great value for money, selection of wine was insanely good, the servers were amazing showing real professionalism but also attentiveness. On the table we had a nut allergy and a gluten allergy and we felt cared for and attended to with our orders so thank you to them and the chefs! Definitely a recommend and a will be back for more!
Nat M I went in for lunch during the week and had the lamb roast. It was to die for! Quality and quantity was brilliant. Im looking forward to coming back to try the pie and mash!
Benjamin Tubbs We had such a lovely visit to the Carpenters Arms recently! The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Warm and cozy atmosphere inside.
The outside area is just as charming – a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a drink.
Great to see that the prices seem to have been reduced to a more affordable level. It makes such a difference and means we’ll definitely be coming back more often. Highly recommended!
Andrea Paniagua Borrego The pizza was really good, the tiramisu was amazing and the service was just the best. My husband is Italian and we agreed that it was one of the best tiramisus weve had. The staff and the pizzaiolo were also very nice and friendly to our toddler. Its a fantastic pizzeria that we plan to adopt for our family pizza days!
