    This is truly a hidden gem, another amazing Italian restaurant find for me! Score!

    I found this place just like most places from the 2012 Entertainment book, otherwise I would never know what I was missing, delicious Italian food!

    We called beforehand to see if there was room for 3 of us after having a crazy night and attempting round 3 for finding a place to have dinner and for the win was Trattoria Leonardo!

    We were seated immediately and asked if we were the ones who phoned ahead, and to our surprise we were brought out bruschetta on the house!

    We all ordered the veal parmigiana, one with veggies and two with linguine in Alfredo sauce. Everything was EXCELLENT! The veal was like candy and usually I am the last to finish my meal but tonight was a different story. It was so delicious. The veal has lots of cheese and sauce. The linguine was just as good, done just right with excellent sauce!

    This is a true authentic Italian restaurant

    THANK YOU YELPERS FOR BRINGING ME HERE!

    Called to make a reservation for my 21st birthday dinner with the family, and I was greeted with "Thrah-thorrreeyah Leonarrrdho," aka the name of the place in a beautifully authentic Italian accent. I had called to about to ask about the menu options, but really, I was sold right from that point.

    From beginning to end, our dining experience was characterized by that 100% authentic Italian hospitality feel. Service was genuine, warm, friendly, and most importantly, not too overbearing! I don't think I appreciated the art of waiting (waitering?) until I came to this place - they knew exactly when to check in, and when to leave us to enjoy ourselves. The food was hearty and creamy, in exactly the right way. Proportions were VERY generous, so although we were too full for dessert, we got to enjoy our dishes again the next day. The chardonnay got me to my happy place.

    It's a truly authentic and inviting restaurant. Anyone but the King Street types will adore this place!

    Have been driving by this restaurant for quite some time now and finally had a chance to visit. And it was a great local dinner.

    Bruschetta on the house was quickly brought to the table. Food was delicious, service was old style good. Not the greatest ambiance, but the food and price/value more than makes up for it. We will be back.

    Salad, entree, dessert, coffee and wine for two was $100

    Excellent value for the money. we were six people looking for the authentic Italian experience and the Trat. Leo delivered. From the bushetta arriving with out being ordered (or charged for!) to the bottles of Campifoini Masa at a great price, to the mussels and calamari fritti and all of our mains. the food was excellent. And we especially enjoyed the service. Our waiter was old school and as Italian as you get. He made the evening such an enjoyable experience start to finish. Felt like we were dining in an Italian home of an old friend. Highly recommend!

    we got completely lost trying to find Little Italy. it was 8pm and we were ready to give up and go back to our hotel by the airport when we saw this place... parking lot full and with the cutout of an italian dude offering up pasta standing at the front door.  Who could resist?

    What a gem! Delicious home-made pasta, great and affordable wine list, and a real homey feel to it.  The escargot special was delicious, the pasta was tender and fresh, the arrabiata sauce was heaped with minced garlic, and the portions were generous without being American-style stupid.  I'd definitely go back.

    We love our neighbourhood trattoria!  Old School waiters in white shirts make you feel at home and the food is outstanding.  Daily specials always tempt and are great value.

    Helpings are generous and the variety ensures everyone can satisfy their palate.  Wines are priced fairly and the list offers a decent range of wines/regions.

    The atmosphere is anything but pretentious but the food speaks volumes!

    Complementary bruschetta greeted us the last time we dined and other surprises often await friendly/repeat patrons.

    Parking can be a challenge on the Dundas side but more is available at the back.

    Well worth the trip.

    Not bad at all!  Outdated and worn decor, but great friendly service, classic pastas well prepared and very affordable!  Will be back for sure.
