RECENT REVIEWS OF THE LEADENHALL :::
4 June 2010
"You can almost miss this restaurant tucked away in the corner of Leadenhall Market but I have never been disappointed going there. Food is served in very healthy portions and very tasy too. It's not for the casual lunch - more a business lunch given the cost but enjoyable on those terms"

"First visit to this restaurant and I was not disappoint with the food or service. However, it is not really an evening venue as it is very quiet but the staff's good nature more than make up for the lack of atmosphere. Better venue for lunch"

"... the welcome and food here is very Italian and this wins you over. Good home made grissini and bread and excellent and huge veal milanese works for me. The roast pork being carved off the trolley looked great too. Busy and successful place - you can see why...."

"The Leadenhall Ristorante Italiano provided a warm welcome alhough it was very quiet but he service was prompt and attentive. The menu is pretty typical Italian and both the Calamari and Scallop starters were a success.... The main courses were, again, very generous. As a celebratory meal it was a success and we will go back again."

"We chose Leadenhall Ristorante Italiano because it's close to where our friend works. We all love Italian and find it is not as easy to come by as they are in Australia! The food was just divine, so fresh and creatively made and presented. I am a coeliac and they accommodated me perfectly.... The food was exceptional and we will definitely return...."
