Leoni's
Latin Cellar Restaurant - reader comments

"If you like Italian this is a good choice for a well
balanced meal at a reasonable price. The premises
look the part and the staff contribute to the
overall experience. Good wine list but not cheap."

"Leoni's
Italian restaurant has always been popular with business
clients and was famed as being the favourite haunt of
Luciano Pavarotti when he was in town (there's still
plenty of photos on the wall of the operatic legend
when he dined here). The current owners (who also own
El Rancho in Heywood) have allowed their Chilean roots
to complement their many years of working in Italian
restaurants and have created an eclectic menu which
should appeal to the establishment's existing customer
base as well as those seeking specialities from Latin
America and Spain. The food is honest and flavoursome
and prices are as welcoming as the friendly staff. The
Pizza Calzone (£7.50), was excellent and highlighted
why the new owners are reluctant to drop the Italian
influence from the menu, whilst the Sword Fish (£8.95)
was huge and cooked in true Latin American style, lightly
buttered and grilled in an olive oil, lemon juice and
parsley sauce. Whilst it wouldn't win any awards for
presentation, it certainly gets a thumbs up for taste.
To wash down the mains, the wine list of Italian and
New World wines is impressive - arguably one of the
cheapest in town - and an excellent bottle of Casa Vinicola
Scanavino Barolo sells at a staggeringly low price of
£30. Leoni's is popular with celebrations and
the party menu is also worthy of mention at just £20
for 3 courses. It's the ideal place to celebrate with
a large group of friends
or, if you're dining as a more intimate party, simply
looking for homely South American or Italian cooking!"

"We visit Leonis often & always have a great time,
there is always something to entertain you while you
have your meal. The last time we visited there was a
birthday celebration at the table across from us &
a Mariachi band came in to play! It really has
a 'holiday' atmosphere and the food is always excellent!
I highly recommend Leonis!" -

"Excellent evening. A large party catered for with no
issues and everybody agreed that the food was
great. It was a pleasure dining there and is
on our return list" -

"This is our favourite restaurant in Manchester. We
never have a bad meal in there. My other half always
has some sort of fish and he is always really pleased
with his meal. We love the ambience, the staff,
the feel of the place and the staff are always
brilliant (and quite good looking !) We will keep going
back" -
