We’ve been going to Leonis since it was opened and have always enjoyed the food , drinks and ambience alongside friendly but not overbearing service . We had a celebration there in September and everything was just great , couldn’t fault it at all

Excellent. That sums it up. Service was spot on - not overbearing but always there and no looking for someone when needed. Food was actually served nice and hot on properly warmed plates - why has this become a lost art? Portions were generous and after a hot cup of coffee the bill was a very reasonable £77, although they did add on 10% service charge. I usually leave this, and on this occasion I added more, but personally I prefer it to be left entirely to me. I have often paid a lot more for a much poorer experience, in fact its difficult to get away with any less than that nowadays for 1 starter 2 mains and 1 dessert plus a couple of drinks and coffees.

We booked late and the Leonis team were only too happy to help us find a good time to dine with them. We were a bit late but the entire team were very understanding on our arrival, which was really reassuring. We were seated quickly and we had a great table. The staff couldn’t do enough to make us welcome and to make sure we had a nice experience. The food was superb and they even thought to bring my son’s food before mine as he was hungry! Owen has a lovely evening and I can’t recommend Leonis highly enough as a true local Italian restaurant. Bravo!

Been using this restaurant since Sept 2021 on a regular basis and have never been disappointed. Friendly staff and great food in a lovely setting. Would highly recommend.

I had such high expectations after reading such good reviews. However our meal was dreadful. To start we had scallops and mussles. The scallops came out with burnt bacon on top, we asked if this was right to which we were told its ment to be crispy. It was hard and inedible not crispy. The mussles were ok but very tasteless and served with burnt toast. For mains we ordered the Funghi with chicken and the Pescatore. We had seen photos of the Pescatore on other people reviews, ours was nothing like any photos we had seen. There were 2 mussles and a bit of frozen calamari no other shellfish. The chicken on the Funghi (which I paid nearly £4 extra for) was like chicken out of a frozen bag of already cooked chicken. Both meals were tasteless and inedible. We were never asked if our food was ok or if we would like anything else. The only good thing about our meal was the wine!

We had this restaurant recommended to us so expected great things. We ordered the seafood sharing platter for two which was very nice and also a tomato garlic bread - both very nice ( although small part of the garlic bread had been burnt underneath) for mains we ordered a “special” of a cod dish but had to return that as it wasn’t hot just warm. The waiters did resolve this very quickly and efficiently with a replacement piping hot dish. In addition my chicken diavola was extremely tasty. Another guest had pasta arriabiata but there seemed too much sauce to be honest. The other guest had a pasta dish but it had a sauce covering the bread base which made it rather sloppy. We also ordered some zucchini fries which were really tasty and fresh. In addition we had some ordinary fries. The service was excellent and couldn’t be faulted. The setting is very nice and I would have liked to have given them 5 stars but they fell down with the food side.

Terrible customer service and an incredibly rude and nasty waiter on arrival. We had been assured, when booking, that a certain table would be reserved. When we arrived it was taken, despite many other free tables. The waiter who ‘greeted’ us (Fabio) didn’t even apologise and was incredibly rude and dismissive. The food was mediocre at best and vastly overpriced. We won’t be eating there again.

Nice bright restaurant, seated quickly, service attentive & efficient but not over the top. We were there early evening for a birthday treat. I was a little underwhelmed by the food to be honest, I was expecting to be blown away & I wasn't. Sorry I think it's a little bit style over substance, but definitely understand why people like it, it's a lovely place to sit, especially on a sunny day.

Had late lunch yesterday, 22nd December to celebrate a birthday. Looked like we just missed the lunchtime rush so didn't have to wait for anything. I had mussels to start in tomato sauce which was lovely, my wife had scallops which she devoured. For my main I had Steak Rossini (med) very nice indeed, my wife went for the Lobster risotto and loved it, all washed down with a bottle of red. Would highly recommend

My fiancé and I went for a date night meal Fri Dec 16th and we are very fortunate that this is in our neighbourhood. For starters I had Salsiccia con spinaci and my other half chose the oysters. We didn't wait long and had only just started on the bottle of house red wine which was lovely too. For the main I had 8oz steak with pepper sauce med well and my fiancé chose smoked salmon pizza. Both plates were so nice we couldn't resist but try each others which makes us want to go again in a hurry, to try them for ourselves. The staff are genuine charming Italian and are attentive and polite. The food was gorgeous and we feel very lucky to have this nearby. Its highly recommended, a decent ambiance and cosy venue. You must experience it

Friendly service, but very cold restaurant. Starter of garlic bread and tomato tasted of no garlic. In fact, all the food felt thin and under-seasoned. Paying extra for prawns meant three prawns. And the Parmesan didn’t taste fresh nor did it add flavour. We left most of our mains, but nobody questioned the half-full plates. Having waited a couple of years to try it’s unlikely we’ll be back. Shame

To say that Leoni's Restaurant is a lovely restaurant is an understatement.Everything from the service to the food is very good.We had a seafood platter as a starter followed by a half lobster dish and a very rich chocolate cake.I. M. G. It was absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked lobster and pasta! Seafood platter full of flavours. And THE CHOCOLATE CAKE ❤️❤️❤️ So rich!The staff was very friendly and helpful, and very understanding, to say the least. Unfortunately, I'm intolerant to lactose and few more things, but my intolerance wasn't a problem for a chef and he made all dishes eatable for me (not a cake tho as the cake was eaten by my friend, so we took it easy on that ). Thank you so much for that, the chefIt was my 4th or 5th visit there, abs definitely not the last!Leoni's Restaurant is definitely worth 50 minutes drive from Liverpool Grazie mille per Tutti, Daniel and Ela & the Co.

First time visiting today for a mid-day meal. Attentive and polite staff and a m spacious yet atmospheric outdoor seating area. Everything went smoothly from booking to paying. I thought maybe since the prices were slightly lower than I expected, that the quality might lack - but I had the seafood linguine and my partner had the lobster pasta and both were really delicious. The seafood was perfectly cooked and not chewy and the sauce was great. I deffo recommend the garlic bread, half cheese half tomato.

I have to say I was really dissapointed with the food in here , a limp bland Bruschetta starter and a tasteless cheese garlick bread , my Sea Bass main was two limp cuts swimming in some sort of sauce and surrounded by unnecessary salad it was pretty grim and the potatoes and spinach that accommodated it were bland as well.

We booked a lunchtime table for food and drinks, our first venture out after lockdown and we were so pleased to have chosen Leoni's. The level of care, hygiene and social distancing was imacculate. Crisp white tablecloths and Prosecco the colour of gold were a sight for sore eyes in the bright and airy restaurant. Ribs and scallops starters were so tasty, and generous servings. For mains we had Diavola pizza cooked to crisp perfection; seafood linguine so deep in flavour with lots of different types of fish. Lemon cheesecake and Limoncella to finish made this the best meal in Heaton Moor for a very long time. Thank you to everyone at Leoni's, we will definitely see you again soon ❤

Difficult to find an Italian restaurant that does pasta, pizza and fish / meat equally well. Leoni’s hits the mark. Pizzas are done right with a pleasant crust (not too salty or heavy) and the specials board is always varied. Good Italian cooking from a friendly bunch. Decent wine list. Useful to have this place literally on the doorstep. I’d give them an even more favourable review if they put the Menebrea tap back behind the bar (although they still have a good selection of Italian draught beers). Casual feel in the week but a pleasant non-stuffy sense of occasion on the weekends.

On arriving we were greeted and shown to our table. However that's when it all went wrong. The waiter who was stone faced literally placed our menus on top of the plates on the table and walked away; at this point we hadn't even taken our coats off and sat down. We eventually ordered our food and when the starter arrived (Bruschetta) it was soggy, we then waited 45 mins for our main courses (only a pasta dish and a pizza, not exactly a complex meal) with no apologies for the wait. I had to ask for pepper as there wasn't any on the table and we weren't offered any. The waiter wasn't welcoming at all and when we asked for the bill - surprise we got in within 10 seconds! Customers dirty plates/glasses were stacked high on the bar (and that's no exaggeration) rather than taken back to the kitchen. This really gave a bad impression for any customers coming into the restaurant. I'm no restaurant snob but this was poor to say the least. In addition, the lighting in the foyer was warm but in the restaurant area it was bright white giving it a cold atmosphere, however that matched the vibe from the waiter. Needless to say we won't be returning.

These premises seem to change hands every couple of years but we decided to give the latest incumbents a try. The place is still the same layout but has had a bit of a makeover and the decor is pretty welcoming. The service was very attentive and the food very good.

Visited today lunchtime for the 1st time. We were a bit apprehensive as there were no other diners but staff were welcoming. Offered 2 menus, a light lunch & an a la carte.Plenty of choice on the lunch menu but we decided to order from the main. Prices about what I would expect for decent High St Italian. We shared a bruschetta starter and both ordered the lobster ravioli. Both courses well presented and the ravioli was delicious. Still no other diners so atmosphere a bit flat but it was a wet Wednesday in Stockport! Bill with soft drinks and coffee £48 so not cheap but have paid more for far worse food. Would visit again but maybe in the evening.

Visited leonis for a farewell meal for my sons leaving for university. Lovely greeting, nice surroundings and great starters. However, waited ages for our main meals and when they arrived one of them was nothing like the description on the menu; a plate of dry lamb chops with no advertised sauce and no side dish of fries. We asked where sauce and fries were and were acknowledged with utter disregard. The sauce and fries came ten minutes later when meal was cold. ( menu- costolette d’agnello) Although there was little understanding of our disappointment , including two highly unpleasant waitresses, we were slightly reimbursed on the bill.

What a fab fab fab little place. I have visited here a couple of times and will be making my way back for sure. As a passionate meat eater there was plenty to choose from, however my other half is a vegetarian. Leonis and the staff were very accommodating in providing us with vegetarian options and wow, it tasted good. The seafood is fresh, the pasta is fresh and more importantly it tastes gooooood!!! Get yourself to Leonis, you wont be disappointed.

We had a bottle of the valpolicella ripasso for which the big wine glasses were brought to the table, and which accompanied my veal with spaghetti in a delicious tomato sauce and the pasta with Tuscan spiced sausage and pecorino cheese, and a tomato and onion salad - the tomatoes were a little bland which was a shame. Coffees to finish and the bill came to around £70, most of which were the drinks!

We been for the second time at Leoni’s, the food was absolutely disgusting, the staff was rude and the slow service resulted in our evening plans being spoilt because we were in the restaurant far longer than we had expected....but due to service and food I will probably not come back.

We have been here a few times since it has been taken over and i cant rave about it enough! The food is exellent and the staff are superb! Friendly, attentive, funny and personal. They anticipated our needs and worked at just the right pace. Not too fast and definitely not slow. It can get really busy so expect a but of a wait and you pretty much have to book in advance but to me this is a good sign and great to have somewhere like this in Heaton Moor Village that we can walk to and don't have to go far for a lovely evening meal out! To top it all off a cheeky limoncello from your favourite waiter at the end of the meal will do it for anybody

Friendly staff and good atmosphere on Sunday night gave reasons for optimism. Sadly all let down by the food. Bruschetta starter was ok albeit soggy although things went down from there. Portions disconcertingly huge but largely tasteless. Didn’t stay for pudding. Price on high side for pizza and pasta restaurant. Pizza Express would have been a better option which is a real shame. Wouldn’t return or recommend. Sorry.

Visited here on a Friday evening for a celebratory dinner and we had an absolutely lovely night. The food was incredible, from the starters right through to the desserts. The wait staff were attentive, polite and a little bit cheeky; all of which added value to our experience. They even deboned the fish at the table-side which was a classy touch. Would definitely recommend Leoni’s and can’t wait to return.

I live locally and decided to give this place a try with my mum and sister and was not disappointed, the best Italian food I've had in the UK and the carbonara is to die for! Loved it so much I dragged my boyfriend there the next day (who isn't a fan of Italian) who also loved it!

What a fabulous eating experience. The quality of service, food and atmosphere was first class, and the portion size exceeded expectations.

Came in for lunch on Sunday, with two young children and the staff could were so accommodating and friendly. Baby changing is very clean and there is even a child’s loo seat fitting. The food was great, very fresh and well cooked definitely on par with Picollinos. Will return with pleasure!

We asked the waiter for water, he said still or sparkling, we said tap, he brought a bottle of still water, which cost £3.95. Such a liberty.

Visited for the first time yesterday for lunch with family. Was really looking forward to it given the good reviews, and a good Italian is just what is needed locally.

The first time I went to Leoni’s I enjoyed the food and service very much so I decided to go again with my partner. Once again the food was delicious , the service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. The restaurant was very busy but the waiters were still very attentive. Will definitely be coming back in the future!

So unbelievably sad to see the end of this fine establishment! I have been a customer since 1980. Simply wonderful! Mario's front-of-house skills coupled with Gianni's cooking (and drumming) expertise meant a night here was always a special occasion. In fact, although it could be argued that a restaurant should be judged primarily on its culinary qualities, it was the combination of service, food, ambience and bon homie that made Mario & Gianni's stand out. Birthday meals, romantic meals and company meals - all were hosted here with aplomb! A great loss to Hazel Grove. Footnote: I went to visit Gianni at the hospice when the cruellest disease of them all was taking him. With characteristic joviality, he said he was looking forward to meeting David Bowie and Elvis. 😊
