Barleo in West Lothian

Visited this restaurant on 06/02/2025,the waiter/manager was totally overwhelming and his interaction with customers was pathetic.The minestrone soup was the worst I have tasted but to be fair the pizzas were better,not a very pleasant evening could not wait to pay the bill and leave.This restaurant has gone down hill and I will not be back

My partner and I came in for a spontaneous dinner date out and decided to go here. All I can say is that we will definitely be coming back. The service and food was 10/10 and I cannot recommend this place enough. Our food and drinks came fast and the quality of the food was just amazing! Our host (didn’t get his name unfortunately) and all other members of staff checked on us throughout our time and didn’t hesitate to help us with anything. Can’t wait to dine here again!

Visited on a Fridsy evening with family. Friendly welcome. Very efficient, attentive and friendly staff. The menu is fantastic...a wide selection. I had linguine pescatoria and it was delicious. This is authentic Italian food at an affordable price. A pleasure to visit. Give it a try if you're in the Linlithgo area. Such a joy to experience great food on holiday

Wow ! What can I say , gorgeous surroundings, great customer service, delicious food, n scrumptious merlot ! I have a milk intolerance, the server was accommodating offering alternatives. We shared Bruschetta to start with , my partner had tagliatelle carbonara , I had penne picante with spicy sausage. We shared rosemary n sea salted focaccia n skin on chips ....we will definitely be back ! X

First day ever in Europe/Scotland, had an early dinner here, had a pizza and tried my first peroni. Wonderful atmosphere, kind and outgoing staff, this was a great first experience across the pond for me. If I wasn’t seriously sleep deprived I would have stayed longer and tried a dessert. Wish I had more time in Linlithgow so I could go back. Highly recommend.

Had booked for lunch as anticipated would be busy. Was with my friend. Started with minstrone soup each and shared foccaccia mozerrella with extra cheese, awesome. The minestrone stock was rich in flavour with a good mix of vegetables. The foccaccia was perfect. To follow we had spaghetti carbonara and penne carbonara with parmesan and ground black pepper. Both were bursting with flavour. To finish off we both had tirimasu with a lovely homemade flavour. With the best of service it was an all round excellent dining experience. We will definetely return and would not hesitate to recommend bar leo to anyone.

First class Italian dinner.Lovely relaxed vibe in a beautiful Italian restaurant.Excellent service.Amazing quality pizzas (we can vouch for the Diavola and the Calzone) salad and tiramisu.There was nothing to fault-we would definitely recommend if you are in Linlithgow.

Food was amazing and reflected the price. With a positive atmosphere and good table service. I would highly recommend!

Pastas and Pizzas both taste great. Staff great with kids and friendly. Have visited many times and will continue to when in the area

Went for a business lunch. They were serving the Christmas menu. Starter was poor. Pate with some supermarket sliced white toasted bread. Main was also poor. Turkey with dry potatoes and poorly cooked tasteless veg. Served by couldn't-care-less staff with mock Italian accents. Prices way OTT for poor quality food. Shame, as this place used to be good.

As I work at Bar Leo as chef I would like to tell you that I consider myself a fair chef and that I give 100% commitment to producing a high quality of food. Come give me a try I think that you won't be disappointed. Service is friendly and very attentive,so come and try us and say Derek the chef recommended Bar Leo.

The venue/decor is OK. Getting a bit tired though. Noisy ice cream machine next to some tables is irritating. Service is generally quick and pleasant enough. The food is very average. Quality of food just does not justify the prices. They charge top $ for pretty basic pizza/pasta. I could cook far better pasta dishes than anything in here for a fraction of what they charge. For the same money in Edinburgh/Glasgow you could enjoy far superior quality food. I feel this is a business that has become complacent and lazy. If they seriously upped their game with the food, I would consider going back.

Visited bar Leo at the start of January for the first time. On entering its difficult to not be impressed with the interior which is warm and appealing. It really does feel like a nice city centre restaurant but in a local town. We all enjoyed our food, especially the ravioli which was superb. The only downside was the slightly pushy waiters who are clearly told to do as much up selling as possible but this wouldn't put me off coming again

This is a good Italian, busy and well managed, efficient staff, a bit pricey but worth it. Note the atmosphere is busy and noisy; this is not a romantic location.
