San Leonardo in Bury

Nice quiet elegant and delightful discovery in Ramsbottom. This restaurant has the perfect imperfect balance between taste, quality and price. In a beautiful setting, nicely decorated with typical photos of famous Italian venues, sublime ingredients are masterfully mixed into rich Italian dishes on the (to my surprise) ideal pricing you could ever expect. I highly doubt you could ever be disappointed in choosing this restaurant. A sincere well done to the owners. (although sitting in the main street, in the town there are various parking options a couple of minute away and it's a very nice and short walk to the restaurant, which also adds to the quality of the visit)

Party of 15 the food was amazing service and atmosphere was fantastic highly recommend and definitely will return. Thank you for a fantastic night.

I don't usually write reviews, but I will never go to this restaurant ever again. The food wasn't to a good standard at all, and an extremely large service charge. Which we unaware of. Scandalous. We found the owner arrogant and dismissive.

What an absolute gem. Food was delicious. Helpful friendly staff and lively atmosphere.

Always great food! Picture is the lamb & mash which was on the specials board. Great call.

Starters wasnt cooked so we sent it back, we got told “if you want me to overcook it I will” We asked about options on the menu “homemade” pasta to find out from staff they buy it from ALDI !!! Rude owner made the staff uncomfortable made guests uncomfortable wont be returning.The waitress was lovely its a shame for the staff really

We just spent our third wedding anniversary having a meal here this weekend. Absolutely amazing service & food, could not recommend enough! We are from out of town, and had a stay booked at the Brook Bottom Farm Hotel (about 10 mins away from San Leonardo) and came across this lovely little restaurant on Tripadvisor. It definitely did not disappoint, the food was AMAZING, the staff were very attentive and friendly and really went the extra mile to ensure our meal and visit was special for our anniversary. The atmosphere is very relaxed but special, with a good mixture of friends, families and couples, definitely a restaurant for everyone. Thank you very much to all, we will certainly be back again!

Beautiful food, fabulous experience. Lovely staff too

Fancied an Italian meal and thought we'd try somewhere new. This place did not disappoint! We were given a lovely little booth in the corner where it wasn't too loud, we were served quickly and the food was really tasty! I had the caprese salad which was super fresh tasting, and the tortellini which was perfect! My partner had a steak and it was cooked to perfection as well. We both had dessert and didn't leave a crumb of food! We will definitely be back :)

Nice place totally recommend. Food was excellent and service was spot on. Could not fault it. Will definitely visit again soon.

Last minute visit and never fails to accommodate. Lovely food, staff and service as always

Really good atmosphere as always. The ribs starter were delicious. Mains were really good too.

Kind enough to accommodate us very near closing, lovely staff, great food…Very hospitable! Thanks guys 👍

After a few drinks around Ramsbottom we had already booked a table at the restaurant and it was for a party of 8 people. We were shown to our table upstairs plenty of room and nicely presented. The staff were first class and delivered everything we ordered professionally and with no problem. The food 🍲 and drinks were excellent and we all had an extremely good evening and would definitely recommend coming back. Thanks to all the staff.

Always happy to squeeze you in at short notice and the service really makes the place impeccable. My favourite place to eat in Ramsbottom hands down.

Absolutely brilliant, food amazing, staff friendly & helpful. Highly recommended, We will return often.

Food was delicious but unfortunately front of house was very rude and dismissive when I politely asked for a VAT receipt (for work expenses as I was there for a business trip).

The sauce that's served with the monkfish is delicious 😋 👌

The food was disgusting my wife’s food was cold. I found a hair in my food they were very rude and unpolite really do not recommend going not nice food or people at all I went for my anniversary it was a shame I went there very disgraceful the staff was terrible so expensive

Food was terrible it come cold they was very rude they wasn’t nice at all Wouldn’t recommends going there

Lovely meal... 2 in a week... Great service, and lovely atmosphere... Food was tasty and will be there again in the new-year.

Fabulous meal and great service!

A fantastic place to eat if you are looking for a decent Italian restaurant. I opted for their special and wasn't disappointed

Still my favourite place to eat in Ramsbottom and I don't even like Italian, however they listen to your specific requirements for how you would like your food and they always deliver. Recommended booking very early as this place is always full even on a school night.

Everyone got their drinks I was left waiting 20 mins for my wine when I asked where it was I was told it’s coming,asked for a 🥩 knife 🔪 still waiting, I’m home 🏡 in bed 🛌 will come again with hope it was just a poor night for service . Toilet seat needs repairing .

For a table of 7 it was a calm and relaxing night. Unhurried tasty food had by all. The deserts are sweet and to die for. The italian mob.

A friendly enough restaurant,although the food is mediocre and the service slow.

Lovely restaurant, nice atmosphere. Great service from the waitress & amazing food.

We love it here Everything is always perfect

Went for a pre board meeting meal. Absolutely amazing food and service. Staff were great.

Seafood linguine fantastic. Beautiful taste. Great service. Reasonable prices too.

Excellent food and service friendly attentive staff BIG PROBLEM no disabled toilets on ground floor only toilets available up open plan stairs did not know this on booking Would have expected toilets to be accessible in such a lovely restaurant

The restaurant is very good, the food is super worth it, I suggest it, the staff is very good.

First time and will definitely be back. Great food, great night.

Went for dinner last night with friends. Can fault nothing about the whole experience. If you like seafood the Linguine Marianara was amazing. Thanks for a great night!

Altogether we were in the restaurant for 1 hour 30 mins in that time we had only received our drinks and starters, when we told the manager to forget the mains he was rude and acted appalling in front of other customers, he told us he had 150 covers (which if you can't cope don't take the bookings or employ more staff) He said this is not McDonald's and to get out and don't come back.This was embarrassing in front of other customers and he stood at the table waiting for us to leave.This person needs to sort his attitude out or get out of hospitality.

Poor service, waited an hour for a starter. Food not great 🤨

We went on a Monday evening the food and service was excellent and despite it being a quiet Monday evening the atmosphere was good

Party of four ate there last night. Although the food was good and reasonably priced, it was badly let down by the service. We have eaten here before and always enjoyed great service but not last night. I had booked a table and when we arrived we were led upstairs, our menus were put on the table and the host walked away without another word to us. Our drinks order was taken quickly and drinks soon arrived but after that we had to wait ages for anyone to take our food order, another age for the starters to arrive, then the plates be cleared, mains arrive etc. Other than one of the waiters who asked if our meals were ok as he cleared our plates, nobody asked how everything was or seemed to care. There was a large group in, the staff only seemed to be bothered about looking after them. Previously the service has been great, but they really need to improve the service being given. A smile and asking how your meal is doesn’t take much effort but goes a long way towards making customers come back. The only person who made an effort to be friendly was the bartender who said goodbye to us as we were leaving!

Just had our tea out with the wife. Excellent all round would definitely go again. 👍👍👍

Loved our meal on Saturday evening. Consistently great food and friendly staff. Can't fault it. Will definitely be going again..... Thank you.

Absolutely awful restaurant. Ridiculous prices for motorway service station standard food: £18.95 for carboard Pollo Paprika (grilled chicken breast with a salty sauce) Starter (Caprese salad - mozzarella, vine tomatoes, basil) was the blandest mozzarella and tomato i've ever tasted...cheap ingredients. When asked if i could have some balsamic and olive oil to try and perk it up a bit, couldn't believe the thin, almost tasteless balsamic they brought. It looked like it had been watered down, although the waiter denied this - in which case it was cheap produce again, but expensive (£6.95). The other diners with me were also unimpressed with the pasta dishes (one was very hot pasta - microwave suspect). We also had to wait about 30 mins before our order was taken. The place was very busy, unbelievably. Problem is Ramsbottom is a gastronomic wasteland and people put up with this rip off 'Italian' fair. These are London prices with Ramsbottom overheads. When we complained to the waitress she went through the practised apology routine, and refused our request for a reduction. She did offer to get the manager however we just wanted to leave and couldn't face more nonsense. People should not patronise places like this - shoddy produce, inept staff, overpriced.

Great food and friendly staff. Was busy on a Friday night but the service was still excellent. Would definitely recommend!

Quality food and nice atmosphere! Best service in Ramsbottom! Recommended 👍🏻

Infuriatingly like so many neighbourhood Italian restaurants, it's got a huge menu and what is served is underwhelming. Edible, inoffensive but that's about it.

We really enjoyed our meal here. We went for my father in laws birthday as a group of 6. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely go back.

We had a fabulous anniversary meal with friends at the weekend and the food was absolutely delicious. Also excellent service from a very hardworking team made it a very special evening. Thank you for a lovely time

A superb restaurant - excellent food and service, even when busy and a buzzing atmosphere.

Great food great staff great service good atmosphere

More Italian in a ford escort ....arrogant. rude staff

Brilliant, as ever. Great food and fantastic service.

We had dined here 3 times recently and thoroughly enjoyed every occasion. We had not booked last time but they fitted us in. On every visit the place has been busy and bustling, friendly as all good Italian restaurants are. Excellent. House red wine is delicious.

I wouldn't want to leave a bad review, but the seafood linguini made me and my girlfriend violently sick. When I notified the front of house staff he was rude and dismissive.

Food was delicious. Waiter Brad couldn't do enough. He gave us a warm welcome and was bubbly and pleasant throughout. 😊

Took my two young daughters here for a birthday meal and was met with a disinterested waitress and manager who left us for 20 minutes without taking our order. Really ruined my girl's evening as they were looking forward to it. Over priced average food didn't help either. Oh well, live and learn.

Ver friendly staff and nice food not overly expensive

Excellent food and service - very friendly without being overbearing

Very nice authentic Italian restaurant, delicious pizza and deserts, lovely staff and the atmosphere. Would definitely like to come back to try more from the menu.

Best Italian in Rossendale.Mouth watering steaks(locally sourced)best steak I've ever had .This place is known for steaks cooked to perfection. Mussels equally as good.Some unusual variety of starters, ( rolled mini pancakes went down well.,)Good back ground music.A good selection of sweets.All six of us really enjoyed the San Leomardo experience we will be back.

Visited on a busy Saturday night. Full of atmosphere and food was delicious. I was there with friends from 'down south' and ther were super impressed It was so popular that, even with a booking, we did have a short wait upon arrival and some front of house welcome, to reassure diners that they were only running 10 mins behind, would have been useful.

Honestly the best Italian! The staff are lovely especially the kind lady behind the bar who remembered my friend and made us a signature cocktail! Overall good vibes and great food! 10/10

10/10 from me, some of the best food I've ever tasted!

Lovley restaurant. Food was nice and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend if you love Italian food

Best ever steak Diana cooked to perfection, sauce was amazing, Leo and the staff were lovely, the expresso with icecream was superb too. Loved it, if I come back to Rammy I’d definitely have the same dish. Barb and Colin from 🇦🇺 Australia

Splendid meal here tonight. Couldn't fault it. Relaxed but attentive service. Not expensive either.

One of my favourite Italians, can’t wait to return soon for my birthday with friends, great service, lovely food and reasonably priced

Fantastic Italian restaurant, the pasta here is possibly the best I've ever had. I had the chicken Tagliatelle and my partner had the prawn Linguine and it was perfectly cooked, really lovely. We visited here after recommendations from friends and it didn't disappoint. I am looking forward to returning and would recommend a visit, one of the best restaurants in Ramsbottom.

Very nice place lovely food 👌 😀

Beautiful food, really nice atmosphere I would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Love this little Italian! Everyone treats you like family here and they are very attentive to the children. Had many a pizza here but I also recommend you try their steak options, cut like butter and cooked exactly as I liked!

Great food and service. Fillet steak perfect, just needed a bigger side. Oh, and please don't mix the affagatto before bringing it to the table 😅

Great Christmas day in San Leonardo 's yesterday. The food was fantastic and the staff, although very busy, were brilliant as well.

San Leonardo’s by far the BEST place you can go to eat my various reasons for this would be : The staff there feel like family and are so welcoming , kind , genuine and amazing workers there’s no doubt about that and that includes Leo and his brother Ben ( who is in charge of the out of this world food ) beats Gordon Ramsay any day 😀 , the food not only beats san Carlo which is meant to be a world famous place but whenever a slice of the food from san Leonardo’s enters my mouth my taste buds have a massive party in my mouth and I am left wanting more also the environment is so cosy , hygienic and overall outstanding all the staff also respect you . LONG LIVE SAN LEONARDO’S keep up the amazing food and service while my family and I spend all our money there - much love ( Steve’s daughter Lucy )💙💜

The food was excellent. The service , however, was poor. The did not have enough staff to service the tables adequately. They should only accept bookings that the staff they can cope with.

Beautiful food and friendly staff. Recommended

Excellent food and great service

Lovely restaurant with pleasant staff, delicious food, reasonable price.

Lovely meal. A couple of things on the menu sold out but it was late on a Monday night.

San Leonardos in Ramsbottom is our favourite place, we visit about twice a month and sometimes sneak in a takeaway as well. Over the years we’ve had 18ths, 50ths and even 80ths. Leo, Ben, Alberto, Jess and the rest of the team have never let us down and are always so friendly and welcoming. The food quality’s great and always a high standard, service is second to none. Jess even knows what we want to drink before we do! Highly recommended. Thanks guys. Niel & Yvonne.

1st time here, tried their seafood linguine, was one of the best ive had...deffo will be back

Great food, great staff, lovely setting. Will definitely be back :)

Gorgeous food and friendly staff. Love it here.

Nice authentic restaurant. Has an upstairs seating area so usually no problem getting a table if booked in advance. Busy and wide variety on menu. Staff are professional and polite

In January we moved to Ramsbottom and enjoying the area together with the choice of places to eat. San Leandro is our favourite. Good atmosphere, lovely staff and amazing food.

Glorious food, great service. Very relaxed despite the Covid restrictions. Staff made us welcome and were attentive without being all over us. Will definitely be going again.

Good food and service. Value for money.

Our favourite restaurant in Bury/Ramsbottom super busy but never let you down quality first class service and food.

The best Italian for miles. The steaks are amazing. Never fails to impress.

Great Valentine's meal. Was given a rose to take home. 😁👍

Could not recommend this enough. Staff are great, food is great and so is the price

Good food , very surprised to be charged £3.50 for a black current and soda

Great service great food great atmosphere!

Lovely welcome, fab food and brilliant service ☺️

Great place to meet friends and eat. Extensive menu that caters for a range of tastes.

We always make time to eat here when we visit from London. The food is tasty and reasonably priced and the service has always been faultless. Would recommend
