we wanted to try out some italian food and i have had read some reviews about leonardo, so we decided to give it a try. well, thankfully, it was a weekday and there wasn't any rush here.
we were greeted by the staff and we made ourselves comfortable.
the ambience here is elegant & calm, felt relaxing.
we ordered :-
- nachos with cheese
- cottage cheese sicilian
- classic caesar salad
- gnoccho basilica
beginning with the caesar salad:- there are lots of variation for this salad. the one we ordered was really flavorful and enjoyable, especially because of the dressing, we liked it.
however, one thing that we felt that it had more proportion of lettuce than other ingredients - black olives, baby tomatoes, croutons. the amount of cheese shaved in it was way too less. would expect a better proportion of other elements in proportion of lettuce to give it a better texture and flavor profile, else plainly speaking, it would be a 'lettuce' salad with some toppings.
cottage cheese sicilian :- delicious, one of the best appetiser i had till date. excellent flavor profile. the cottage cheese was fresh and the 'sicilian' sauce was excellently made. loved it. highly recommended.
gnoccho basilica:- another treat to our taste buds. the gnocchi was soft and the cheesy sauce backed by basil was delightful. initially, we felt that the quantity was a bit less; but as we ate some, the quantity was justified, as it was cheesy enough. lol.
overall for food only:- 3.5/5 (caesar's salad could have been more better in terms of ingredient proportions.)
we had agoodtime here trying up italian food. the staff was well trained and took interest in suggesting us dishes and took care in serving, we appreciate it.
also, one thing that we didnt like was the 'bottled water', there should be option for normal filtered water than just only option of bottled water. i hope the management will take a note of it and do some changes. (removed a star just because of this.)
