Friendly staff, spectacular dishes, best garlic rolls of my life! The sangria was refreshing. The Chicken Agave will always be my favorite! We’ve never had to wait too long to be seated and getting our food took a reasonable amount of time. Definitely a destination for Gainesville.

Perfect evening out with family. Aaron took great care of. 1st time here. Had the Large Vegetable Lovers Salad split with the table. The salad looked small but turned out plenty for all of us. We got the 706 Garlic Knots which was covered in Garlic butter. They tasted amazing. Then I ordered the Botticelli which was an enormous amount of food. The atmosphere was very cozy and we left very pleased and stuffed with leftovers to take home.

Had the mondo pizza and bouillabaisse. The pizza is about 10 in, so enough for 2 to share if you get an app. Both were very good and the live jazz wasn't to loud coming from the side room. My problem was with my mojito. The drinks are on the higher end price wise, and it wasn't drinkable. Would recommend beer or wine instead.

Leonardo's was a lovely place to take my date out for a nice dinner from the atmosphere to the food. The place itself is dimly lit and warm with a casual vibe from the patrons and the servers. Our waiters were dressed very nicely and were friendly and knowledgeable about what was on the menu. I very much enjoyed an angel hair pasta dish with avocado, grilled shrimp, and tomatoes while my girlfriend had a seafood pasta that was also excellent. Be prepared to pay a moderate price for the food here but I can assure it's quality.

A stylish restaurant with pasta, pizza, and seafood. The interior is very classy, though there were glimpses of the casual. We ordered the grouper a la francaise, it was delicious. The servers were spotless. The bathroom could be cleaner. The prizes were a bit on the higher side for the level of formality.

Overpriced for what you get. Hadn't been here in years... Surprised with how loud it was. We were seated in a back area, and passed many empty tables in a nicer section, to be seated at our table for 4 (we had reservations). The room was mostly empty with a couple of larger tables seated (8 at one, maybe 16 at the other). There were tables that hadn't been bussed and trash on the floor, which seemed odd considering how empty the restaurant was. Was disappointed that most pastas cannot be made in a non-alcoholic manner. Vast majority of the sauces had wine or other alcohol that our server said could not be removed as they were pre-made. A pre-made white wine sauce seems unusual. Food was fine. Nothing remarkable. Overpriced for what you get. Service was friendly, but slow. Drinks remained empty for a while. Our table didn't receive bread. The most shocking part to me was how loud the room was. Very difficult to have a conversation.

A fairly disappointing experience. The food was mediocre at best, and all of the dishes we ordered came out very overcooked, but still below room temperature. The meal was incredibly overpriced for the area, especially considering how mediocre the food was. Service was decent, with very friendly wait staff, even if they were unable to answer many basic questions, nor did they attempt to go find answers to these questions. No simple modifications (agave vs simple syrup, for example) were permitted on our cocktails, and a few drinks which were ordered neat came served on the rocks. The wait staff would not have them sent back to be strained, so most of our drinks were terribly watered down and frankly unpleasant to drink. All in all, the many small frustrations here would definitely make me want to not return again in the future.

Great food, nice atmosphere, old church pew as my booth bench. Loved it. Loved the employee art on the wall, loved the accommodations they made for my kids, loved the house made raspberry vinaigrette. Wish I lived closer so I could go back again very soon.
