This place is a cozy and really romantic restaurant. I love the food it really taste so good. The drinks are also great! Its good for casual dining or for parties like the one I attended to! Though we had really slow pace of waiting time for the food and drinks. But the food is great even the Chef came to ask how was our food and are we enjoying the food the staff also are accommodating! The price for the Package we had was 120aed for 2 dishes and 5 drinks but that was for an exclusive event. The pricing may vary on their normal days. P.s the Pumpkin soup is so so so GOOD!😍 Thank you to their staff who learned that I was allergic from Shrimp and what they were offering that time was a seafood soup so he asked a special request to have mine be changed into Pumpkin soup! Thank you to that waiter (which Im so sorry I forgot the name.)🥲

Leonardo is a great Italian restaurant I would recommend to everyone. We had a 3 course meal, where each course was a delight. Thank you for the great evening Jared, Angel and Laxmi!

Leonardo restaurant is located in Dubai Marina next to Stella di Mare Hotel. The environment is nice and relaxing. The staff is very polite and skilled.Food is very good and portions are big. Difficult eat a starter and a course!However, there are not many dishes available. The selection is limited. This is the only shadow of Leonardo.Chef Italian. Prices: in the average of other Italian restaurants in Dubai.I will go back to Leonardo for a dinner. It is worth to be visited again.

My partner and I visited the restaurant last week for dinner after seeing a number of rave reviews online. We were not disappointed.We were greeted warmly by the staff and our waitress, Angel, was absolutely superb! She was so friendly and offered great advice on food and wine selection.We were given a complimentary mushroom arancini which tasted fantastic. We ordered the burrata to start, followed by duck ravioli and pizza friarielli and we finished with the tiramisu and torta caprese. Everything was outstanding! This is easily one of the best Italian meals I have had during my 7 year stay in Dubai.The chef also came out to our table to introduce himself after we had placed our order. I thought this was a really nice touch and made the experience feel more personal.Would highly recommend to anyone. We will definitely be coming back soon for the Thursday evening brunch.

Loved in here, great Italian cooking.All dishes were tasty, but go for Italian.

Leonardo, located in Stella Di Mare Hotel & Resorts in Dubai Marina is one dining experience you shouldnt miss. The interiors displays the classics of Leonardos works & experiments. The wooden decor gives a nice cosy feeling & ample space between the tables makes this restaurant perfect place for stylish private dining. As we entered this restaurant , we were warmly greeted by the staff & was provided us a table of our choice.We started with the plate of Buratta & Arancini Noci which beautifully presented & excellent in taste. On recommendation of lovely staff Gloria we decided to have the homemade Chicken Tortellino Pasta & the Pizza Corni. The Pasta was immersed in the goodness of their signature sauce & Cheese. This is the best Authentic Italian Pasta without too much of the greasy & creamy feeling. Pizza was so delicious & so addictive, just thinking of them makes my mouth water. Ended the meal with some heavenly mouthwatering Tiramisu.Presentation is very attractive. Infact all the dishes were having eye pleasing presentations which really deserve brownie points.A Special shoutout to our main server Gloria. She is very polite, quick in his work & guided us well through the menu.Overall, Leonardo is an excellent fine dining restaurant. Chef Carlo has put so much details, thoughts & love in each & every dish, you just tend to fall in love with the food. It might make you dig deep into your pockets but is truely capable of serving you food of the highest standards. Very Highly Recommended !!!

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The ambience is cozy and felt fancy at the same time. The service is great. The food, honestly, cant stop thinking about it till now. My only regret is I wasnt able to take photos so I can show them to my friends to convince them to visit the restaurant. This is a perfect spot for a date night.

That was an amazing culinary experience. I’m Italian and this is by far the best Italian restaurant in Dubai! The food is so rich in flavor but at the same time very light. Five stars to the Chef Carlo that also came to our table to explain every dish. Friendly staff.

Really liked this restaurant ! Just like in italy, very great quality I can only recommand. Cocktails were also super great, alcohol well balanced. Arancini and mignardises offered. Waiters were awesome, top experience !

Polvo finally!!! superb❤and the mushroom for side oh my!!! you will fall in love🥰

Cozy set up. Delicious food!

Average restaurant, definitely not a fine dining one. Food tastes alright, nothing special. Menu has been changed, so the list of specialties here don’t exist in an updated menu. The ambience is not cozy - large premise with tables located far from each other which is a good COVID precaution, yet doesn’t add much to the atmosphere. Didn’t go for desert after main course, change my mind under impression from the appetizer and pizza. Personnel was very welcoming, chef came to the table to ask about the food

Enjoyable place. Wonderful chef, real Italian.

We were greeted warmly by the staff and our waitress, Angel, was absolutely superb! She was so friendly and offered great advice on food and wine selection.We were given a complimentary mushroom arancini which tasted fantastic.

A must try authentic restaurant from Italy with a Napoli-born chef. The food was really good and the service was excellent. Thank you Leonardo!Loved the live stations that included the burrata & risotto in parmesan barrel! Recommended & I would go back again!

Awesome service Angel & Lavak. Honestly food was really good. Great quiet vibe. Chef Franco & Chef Bryan thx for the great food. Hard to find quality food. You guys lived up to your 5 stars.

The best risotto Ive ever had. Delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere. Great staff as well. Thank you Maria, Sonam, Jared and Chef Bryan!

Italian restaurant in the heart of the Marina, seafood menu is very diverse.

That was great and thanks for service

Lovely staff and very good food.Pumpkin soup with vegetable croutons is as lovely as the fresh and home-made Gnoccho with pesto.If you are lucky the chef will present you with a self-made creation of a chocolate praline as a special treat... ;-)#ThanksForANiceDinner

Amazing experience with authentic Italian food. Beautiful setting.

Loved the Ladies night deal... the drinks were too good... I especially enjoyed the red wine and the Martini aperitif was very refreshing..

Lovely restaurant with exceptional Italian food. The dishes are very well prepared with a lot of eye for detail by the chef. Will definitely come back when I visit Dubai again. Would recommend the tiramisu for dessert, it’s a traditional recipe by the Italian grandma of the chef - really delicious!Thanks to the staff for the wonderful experience.

Wonderful evening excellent foodThe chef personally came around the tables to speak to everyone and explain the menu. Will definitely be back x

We had a really nice Italian aperitivo. The place is elegant and regarding the deal. Very good quality for such a great price

Amazing food and ambience. We had lovely night there, mostly thanks to amazing service provided by Jared. Leonardo experience highly recommended!

Lovely food and brilliant service from Jared Ilyas. We really appreciated the personalized service and the added touches with the amuse bouche and desert selection.

Happened to visit Leonardo at Stella Di Mare Hotel last Thursday for Leonardo Da Vinci night. It is a night to commemorate the great personality, Leonardo da Vinci, by serving 3-course Set Menu and free flow house beverage for only AED 249 per person. Set up in an ambience of the works created by the great Leonardo himself, this eatery gives an epicurean experience that is to cherish forever. On the right side of the entrance is a counter that serves drinks.You will be welcomed by the warm and hospitable staffs. The venue was graced by the presence of a musician who played famous tunes to add a vibe to the eatery. There were live counters for the main menu and deserts where the chefs prepare the cuisines with utmost passion. I have tried Italian Aperitive (5/5), Meat Straccetti (5/5), Tiramisu (5/5), White Pasta (5/5), Caprese (5/5). Good vines and cocktails were also served.I would love to go back soon

Very good authentic Italian food!House grape is very tasty and the steak is just perfect.Friendly team, where even the chef cooks come to the table to welcome you.

We done Friday Evening, Amazing sharing platter to start, mains were so good, we didnt really like the dessert but thats OK, I would like to see a beer or lager on the menu...

This is one sending restaurant with great attentive and friendly staff. Jared, Laxmi and Olha were great. The restaurant is nice and quiet where you dont have to scream to have a conversation. The food is fantastic. The place has quite a few contraptions of Leonardo Da Vinci scattered around. Unfortunately for us, our stomachs were full just with the starters so we went on to desert and canned it a night. Will definitely be back for more soon.

Excellent restaurant, special food, fresh , clean and very nice people. Ill be back soon

Amazing service and great meat very nice atmosphere. I will definitely come back!Thanks

Definitely not authentic Italian food. Service is below average. Portion size of main course is of an appetizer.

I tried this this resturant for first. They had ladies night, the taste of wine was delecious. We ordered appetizer and it was enough for two girls.They had 25%off on food. A lovely place too feel spoiled and the prices are acceptable. Defenitaly woth it for date night.

Michelin level restaurant. Unique italian dishes. Highly recommended for gourman.

Secret hotspot!Amazing restaurant for delicious Italian cuisine in a spectacual ambiente!Ambiente 10/10Food 10/10+ the Chef is from Italy, very nice person, come to our table twice.Also the service is very friendly and professionel!We will come back very soon for more amazing italian food!

I have to say that food and service here is unbelievable.Chef is a real Italian and his food is a masterpiece!Staff is very friendly and caring! We enjoy yes every minute!ComeHere for food!

The restaurant serves the best gastronomic delights.

Very good Italian restaurant, the Italian Friday street food brunch is a brilliant ideaOne of the best tiramisu I ve triedHighly recommended

We had such fantastic experience. A beautiful place with amazing food and a great chef Carlo explaining about each dish and also custom dishes to your taste. It is a proper fine dining place. Thank you for having us

The place is quiet and nice. The staff is welcoming and on top of everything and the food....the food is amazing! Really recommend this place if you are in Dubai, the price is also really good for the food. We had a wonderful time at Leonardo! Everything was perfect to the end!

Amazing experience. Booking was smooth, staff got in touch via WhatsApp to make sure that all the requests were met.Chef Carlo adjusted the set menu to our liking. Staff & service were excellent.A welcome drink & a limoncello after a beautiful 3 couse menu.What else could I ask for?Highly recommend this restaurant,

The best dinner, service and experience I had in Dubai

The food is excellent, the space lacks a little character. Staff very nice.5 course dinner - tuna cooked in ice (fantastic), burrata (very good), pasta with ragu (gorgeous), ravioli with Gorgonzola (whoa but good), beef (very good) and tiramisu (crunchy not good).Would return.

The food is very nice, the restaurant is a Little bit too dark but it is nice

Nice restaurant. Great food with friendly staff.

A good Italian restaurant.

Right off the bat, I want to thank Laxmi, Tatiana and Gasti for ensuring a great dining experience at Leonardo. The restaurant ensured all Covid measures were in place and at no point did I see the safety of anyone being compromised.The food was very good.I liked how well they paced bringing the food to our table. At no point did we feel that we were stuffing our faces. While we ate good amount of food, we did not feel like we did.Our dinner started with a complimentary bread and a surprise Amuse—Bouche to whet our appetite. The appetizers and the main course were sizable enough to satisfy our hunger but not so much that we would overeat. The linguine that my daughter ordered was spicy, while she was a bit uncomfortable with the spice level, she really enjoyed the dish. They even made something that was not on the menu as I was craving for it.In the end while we decided to skip dessert and asked for our check, we were once again surprised by a complimentary bite sized assortment of desserts. Overall great experience.

One of the most authentic Italian restaurants in Dubai. Chef Carlo did a great job sharing his experience and recommending fantastic dishes from antipasti all the way to desert. Highly recommended!

I would give 4.3 to Leonardo if google allowed it. Very good italian food and I felt very welcomed with the attention from. the staff. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for, specially if you take into account other Italian restaurants in Dubai. The pastas are good but the mains are even better. If you have a sweet tooth go for a Baba or Tiramisu for dessert.

Italian food is delicious here, Carlo (the Chef) is amazing and the atmosphere is very nice.

Really delicious Italian food and great service. Thanks Gloria and Jared!Also, the tastiest Melanzana we’ve tried so far.

It was a great evening.... Jared.. Mina Gasto they were great hosts and the chef carlo came twice asking us about the food it was really good ...was a beautiful awesome night ;)

Only you can find the real test of Italian dishes with a spectacular theme 👌

Excellent food. One of the best isolate caprese. Amazing service. Chef carlo has crafted some outstanding dishes.would rate is within top 5 italian restaurants in dubai with Basta, Il Burro and rondo locatelli.

First time dining at Leonardo. New Years Eve with delicious set menu. Food, service and ambience all wonderful. Definitely recommended.

Amazing food and experience! The chef even came over to see if we were enjoying the food, a great touch!! The Burrata was unreal would reccomended this place !!

Italian street food... Just like mamma use to make it

Very nice food and great vine.Prices are very reasonable 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing fresh food, the chef even came out and customised a dish to our needs.

Bland food, not authentic, poor service. Never coming again, rather go to chilies

Probably the best restaurant experience weve had in DubaiWe had an amazing experience with Chef Carlo & his team at Leonardo. We were there for the late brunch (a Friday evening set menu with drinks), and it was way beyond what we expected.Chef Carlo personally came and figured our preferences, describing what his team would be serving and enquiring of we were fine with the items on the menu.He even made changes to cater to the vegan in the group.It was an elaborate 10-course (!) affair plus bread & drinks. Each course had a flavour so distinct than the next. The bread was fresh, and so was the cheese (Its not as good as the cheese you get back home in Italy, because of the fresh Italian milk, but you wont get better cheese in Dubai).From Salmon and beef, to lobster, octopus & rissoto, the menu had it all. Plus specials for the vegan - pumpkin soup, grilled zucchini eggplant & rocket leaves salad, bruschetta and gnocchi to name a few.We were so stuffed by the time it came to desserts.. but had those too. Some awesome raspberry mousse, fruit tarts and a coconut flavoured dessert.The fact that the Chef or someone from his team came in before each course to explain what they were serving, and enquiring about the feedback of the previous course, added to the experience.The cocktails were also up to the mark with no corners cut on strength or flavouring (Margaritas & Old Fashioned).All in all, a definite must do if youre in the mood to indulge your taste buds in some Italian food (the portions are on a sharing basis, but HUGE).Hats off to Chef Carlo and the team.PS - Weve already made a list of the guests we want to bring here the next time theyre in Dubai ;)

The best italian food in Dubai without any doubt. Carlo, the chef came to our table to suggest the best dishes. What an amassing food! The waitress, Gloria and Jaked were also on top of us. We will be back for sure!!

This is an authentic Italian fine dining, no doubts this is the best Italian restaurant in Dubai, we had a wonderful experience, the staff is polite, warm and professional. We were also very lucky to meet the Italian Chef Carlo, who delighted us with explanations about the dishes !! All the ingredients are top quality, the presentations are divine, so exquisite and authentic Italian, complimenti allo chef !!!

Great Italian food !

Amazing experience! Best seafood soup I’ve ever tasted, the staff are always friendly and professional. And the complimentary dessert? Yum!Leonardo never disappoints x

Amazing place and great wine 😋

True 5 star experience, food is super fine gastronomy, service is great, atmosphere is unique.

Very good service and food

Best tiramisu in town

Amazing restaurant the food is really tasty and the staff brilliant . We have been welcomed by Jared and Laxmi and they’ve just been super from A to Z.Highly recommend ;)

The service was great. The food was less.

Fantastic service, lots of extras,nice red wine,ladies night,3 free drinks

Very good experienceFood was good

One of the best fine dining restaurants I tried in Dubai Marina. Aside from the food, the service stood out. Kudos to Gloria, Laxmi and the Restaurant Manager that made our dining experience one of a kind

It is sad to see the restaurant industry so badly affected by Covid. My husband and I are on a challenge to eat somewhere new everytime we go out, to discover hidden gems in Dubai. Leonardos is one of those 5star gems.First off easy parking, in the hotels underground garage and it was free. although taxi drop off is right in front of the restaurant.The restaurant decor was my first surprise. Very nice and creative but not Dubai over the top. Very relaxing.Staff did a fantastic welcome with a non alcoholic table drink created specially at our table.They offer a Thursday night type brunch deal but we opted for main menu as it looked stunning, it did not disappoint. The burrata and smoked capaccio starter blew us away. our mains of Sea bass and Gnocchi were very tasty and well presented.We couldnt resist we needed to sample the desserts, 3 rum cake and the Strudel. Wow, just lovely. Too top this off the chef came out to thank us for our custom and served us 6 chocolates that honest I had no room for but had to squeeze in as they where to die for.Not enough people know about this place. I would definitely recommend taking a group of friends here for the Thursday night offer. You wont regret it. This is now in my top 10 Dubai restaurants. 5 star Value, Food and Service.

Delicious food and nicely themed decoration! Tends to be quiet and not too crowded! Nice for a romantic dinner

Leonardo is an authentic Italian fine dining restaurant which brings you a flavor of Tuscan cuisine with only the freshest ingredients that represent Italy.Enjoy a relaxed and stylish dining experience with the distinctive Italian–style interior that celebrates the masterpieces of Leonardo Da Vinci while exploring the renaissance and romantic ambiance.

It’s a very nice cosy place with excellent service!! I would definitely recommend it! And I will come back here again!

Excellent food, great value! Definitely my top1 Italian restaurant in UAE

Amazing food, friendly stuff, highly recommend!

Service great food mediocre

Yummy food, delightful staff! (Jared laxmi Olha were super helpful) Tiramisu was so good !

Awesome Italian food

Dined here for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. There was some difficulty making a reservation and the lady on the phone was somewhat pushy in trying to get me to book in the buffet restaurant, I did rely that we were a couple celebrating a birthday so a buffet wouldn’t work. She still transferred us to the buffet restaurant. Fast forward to dinner and everything was perfect the decor, service and food were faultless. However the restaurant manager was phenomenal and a true gent and ambassador for the hospitality industry, we had a spillage of a glass of Prosecco and this was quickly sorted by a swift table move and a top up, which we were not charged for, even though the spill was our own fault. Amuse Bouche was very tasty and the mains of beef and seabass were excellent. I did think the portion of bass was a little small, but overall very happy. However the truffle pizza with ricotta crust was a masterstroke and delicious. The pizza crust was 10/10. They seem to run a lot of specials so this place is highly recommended. Looking forward to a return visit and highly recommend.

While there are many Italian restaurants in Dubai, not many does as good a job of representing the cuisine as Leonardo does, located in Stella Di Mare hotel in Dubai Marina.I enjoyed every aspect of my visit, the décor was nice, definitely has the fine dining and luxurious feel to it. The Staff were all kind, polite and courteous. We were greeted at the door by Olha, who made a tremendous first impression for the restaurant. Her smile was warm and welcoming which was a great sign of things to come.Gloria showed us to the dining area and allowed us to select our own table as it wasn’t overly busy when we went near the start of service. It is definitely a good idea to arrive early as the restaurant gets packed later into the evening. Gloria was knowledgeable and informative as she was able to answer every answer we had about some of the items on the menu. The menu itself was carefully crafted, each dish carefully planned, tried and mastered by the chef who created the most amazing combinations to treat your taste buds. There were so many amazing items on the menu that I almost wanted to order the whole thing.Jared was our main server who brought us all of our food and explained the details behind each item and suggested how they should be eaten. He also made great suggestions on the temperate of the meats, which contributes to the doneness of the meats. Jared was always around when we needed him and quietly disappeared into the background after serving us our food that was steaming hot coming from the kitchen.As soon as we were done with each dish, Laxmi was there to clear the table to prepare for the next course. There were times when we had a few items remaining on the table that were on plates next to the empty ones and she made a great job to reach around the unfinished items without disturbing our dining experience.The team is led by the talented restaurant manager Gioacchino, who has a ton of experience in working in fine dining restaurants and he taught his team tremendously well.Of course, you cannot forget about the talent chef who created such amazing dishes that without his genius, the entire evening and experience wouldn’t have been possible. I really enjoyed every dish that we ordered, every single one! The flavours made me feel like I was in Italy and even though I haven’t been to Italy yet, whenever I get around to going there, I hope the food will taste as good as Leonardo’s.Every aspect of the experience was fantastic at Leonardo and they are definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai and should be one that everyone visits at least once.

Wonderful dinner, good food and good portions. Service was always on point and very kind: Gloria, Sergio and Gioacchino made an awesome job in making us feeling good. Special mention to the truffled pizza starter, very reccomended. The location is decorated with Leonardos inventions, the atmosphere is nice and elegant. Will surely come back on our next visit in Dubai

Such a fantastic experience.We decided to go for a 5 course meal.Very delicious food and good selection of drinks.For white wine try: Cataratto Ca di Ponti Sicilia.Highly recommend.

Amazing place to dine. Great choice of wine too.

Amazing food and service

Leonardo Dubai, a newly opened restaurant fine dining Italian restaurant. First let’s talk about the gorgeous interiors & lovely models in display of Leonardo Da Vinci’s flying machine (as featured below ), second let’s commend the service, we went on a weekday and the place wasn’t busy we were well taken care of.And now let’s talk food, the menu (also featured in a video on the page ) is a simple to the point menu & that’s a good thing, makes you feel they’d like to put out nothing but the best, also there were dishes with alcohol which upon request they made without, which is commendable.We also played safe & ordered classics,Tuna Tartare, Buratta & Carpaccio for the starters, we were served this cute and interesting amuse bouche prior to food service which was interesting & also got to try the in house sangria trolley service & a complimentary bread basket too.The starters were all very good, decent portions, gorgeous plating. The tuna tartare stood out for me, but honestly the yellowtail Carpaccio was great too.For the mains we ordered a Lobster risotto & Beef Tenderloin roast. There’s a few other interesting things on the menu too.For us firstly the main course waiting time was longer that usual, and when the dishes arrived the beef Tenderloin was delicious, roasted to perfection. The risotto however I felt was slightly cold & not something I would order again, the staff did ask if I would like to change it but it had already been so delayed that I decided not too & had it anyways.The place is recommended and I myself would head back to try some pasta next time.

Very Excellent, I really like the food.

Excellent service and food

Really delicious Cocktails and the manager is very friendly and professional. I will come back to try the food 😁

Best of the best place, Amazing and great food 😋😋

Best truffle pizza ever

Warm welcome; excelente environment accompanied with good music, great set up of table, amazing display of food, helpful staff, delightful experience with food.

Very expensive and not much good
