Being italian i don't like particularly testing italian restaurants abroad , because i know that in most cases they will not meet my expectations . Just for a case and just because i was near there i tried this restaurant and the experience was really disappointing. First of all the indications to find the restaurant are extremely poor , if...

This Italian restaurant I really like. Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. I love the chef's specialties. Last time chef Carlo prepared to me vegetable risotto to the Italian way. Was excellent!!! I also tried the pizza, which was excellent and so crisp. To all people who love Italian cuisine, I highly recommend it!!

We was for first time at the restaurant Leonessa, and we was very surprised. Delicious food, nice and hospitable staff and beautiful Italian environment! We Recommend and thank you! Ronald

Wont go there again on my own wish, but quite tolerable if friends wants to go there. Service is extremely slow, but food is okay and prices quite good. Minus is that place stinks as smoking is allowed and ventilation is quite poor.

Found this restaurant thanks to Tripadvisor. It was a little far from our hotel (say 10 mins walk), but was worth it.

I'm a vegetarian, and had a... More

Put that sauce from olive oil and minced chili over your... More

Four stars may seem a lot for a pretty basic Italian, but these things are relative. And, relatively speaking, it's hard to find a dependable Italian in a town like Brno, so Leonessa is very welcome. It offers a huge menu and very competent cooking in a spacious cellar with a light and colourful decor

This is one of the best restaurants in Brno, if you like italian food, this is the place to go. The place is near the city center, it is also easy to find on the map.
