Leoni's
Latin Cellar Restaurant - reader comments

"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!" -

"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" -
