Great food and service. I felt it was overpriced for Italian food. The wine list was crazy expensive.

What an incredible disappointment tonight’s dinner was. This was our second time dinning here, and it will most definitely be our last. Our service was beyond deplorable. Our server Angie was more intent on attending to every other table but ours. Had reservations for 6:30. We were on time for our reservation, however after being seated it took them 30 minutes to serve us water and still another 15 for our waitress Angie to come to our table to acknowledge us and take our drink order which she also got wrong. We ordered drinks, appetizers and our meal all at once given the long wait, and she still took another 15 minutes to get our drinks, our appetizers arrived after two other tables received their appetizers (that arrived and ordered after us). Throughout the evening I saw our waitress attend to a few other tables around us but somehow seemed to bypass the follow up on our table. That overall was the tone of the evening. Overall, the food was delicious but given that we spent well over $300 for dinner I expected a much more well attended to server at minimum what I felt would have been common decency. If my 9 year old daughter can tell that our server inadvertently was attending to every other table but ours something is not right. Sorry Leonardo’s but given tonight’s service you lost a customer who use to sing your praises to all our visiting friends.

A Memorable Family Celebration at a Solvang Gem - We have dined at Leonardo’s many times over the years, but this visit was particularly special as we returned with our children and grandchildren. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. Our server, Arturo, went above and beyond to make the evening feel like a true event—attentive, warm, and welcoming to each guest at the table. The food was terrific as always, and the atmosphere continues to strike the perfect balance between casual elegance and family-friendly comfort. Leonardo’s remains a gem in Solvang—top-notch staff, outstanding cuisine, and a setting that makes any occasion feel special.
