An overnight in Port Elizabeth left us to request a dinner recommendation from our B&B hostess who directed us towards the Casino and Leonardo's for a brick oven pizza. We ordered a Quattro Stagioni which arrived in a short time along with our starter, grilled calamari, simultaneously. The pizza was well seasoned and the toppings generously distributed. When I asked... More

Staff were friendly and helpful. Food wasn't bad. Had pizza and lasagne (quite sweet). My boys were more intrigued by Leonardo's inventions and designs on the walls.

Lovely Italian food, had an amazing focaccia bread to share for starters and then shared an amazing pasta dish and a gourmet pizza! The food was gorgeous and not too pricey. The only downside was a tad slow, but expected it as it was ironman competition all weekend and the restaurant was full! Defo recommend though xx

A group of us traveled up to the boardwalk and each of us nearly devoured a pizza. Really delicious!

We visited Leonardo's on our last night in South Africa and perhaps we were unlucky but the meal we had was to say the least poor. I had a chicken dish where the chicken was raw in the middle and had to be returned. My wife's lasagne was also substandard appearing to contain little meat and virtually no pasta. Altogether...

The kitchen staff (it's an open kitchen) were extremely noisy with banging of their steel containers and dishes as they were clearing away and cleaning up the kitchen. Surely this was a bit early to do this as the time we were there was between 8.00pm and 9.20pm. Only three tables were occupied and one of the tables had asked... More

Found the food to be bland and tasteless, the service was ok though, it seems as if the pasta dish I had was frozen and just heated in the microwave.

We often eat here because they make the best pasta in town. I love the paintings on the walls - gives it a real "Italian feel"!

The food is quite good but the service is not great. The waiters tend to stand around and chat to each other or stand outside to watch the musical fountains when the show is on and then neglect the diners. They are also there to "just do the job" - no friendliness or warmth! Nice thin crust pizza, but the... More
