There are so many excellent points to make about Leonardo's Italian Grille. For one, this is my first time visiting. My family was looking for a restaurant near the airport and Leonardo's popped up on Google. We decided to give it a try. Seriously folks, I have eaten at many Italian restaurants in eastern Michigan and there are only three that have matched the flavor and quality of Italian cooking that I grew up in, equally matched the flavors of having visited Italy. These criteria are hard to match, and Leonardo's easily fits into my top 3. The other two restaurants are Gregario's in Wyandotte and Moro's in Allen Park.
From the bread to the main course, each dish is flavorful and pleasing to the eye. The atmosphere is a constant hum of people having conversations and glasses clinking just as you would expect at a large family gathering or cosy street side restaurant in Tuscany. Their marinara and meat sauces taste like my Italian grandmother's and the sauce I make at home. Simple where the flavor of the tomatoes comes through not competing with the rest of the dish. The chicken parmesan was prepared properly and seasoned perfectly. The pasta al dente as it should be. My wife had the lasagna with multiple layers of pasta and cheese which was baked in the oven. My youngest had the kids pizza. The crust was amazing and the pizza didn't last long. My oldest daughter who is the pickiest eater asked for the spaghetti with the sauce on the side. She started by dipping the pasta on her fork into the bowl of sauce but soon poured the whole thing in! She's a bellwether for good food and I knew this was the right place. How can you go wrong with delicious food that has great quality in value. To take the family to McDonald's costs almost as much as a four course meal, why not spend the money on something delicious?

Created my own, spaghetti with the spicy pomolo sauce and Italian sausage. Very pleasantly surprised by this place! Loved the artwork around the walls.
I'll have to come on again for a better review, I was quite tired by the time I got here! But I will return for sure!

I had a great experience at Leonardo's Italian Grill! My flight was delayed at DTW, and I was looking for something better than airport food. After searching on Google Maps, I found this restaurant and decided to give it a try based on the reviews—and they were spot on! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left me more than satisfied.
The staff was welcoming, and the service was excellent. Plus, it’s only a five-minute drive from the airport, making it a perfect spot for frequent flyers or anyone passing through the area. Highly recommended!

Great food. The restaurant owner was very pleasant and sociable. If you are into shelled seafood💫👌🏾 mussels w/ Parmesan and the oil! Whew! 😅 Worth it! (To the point I missed getting a pic of the mussels! 😆) pizza was great and they also do their best to sub things if you want to switch veal for chicken in the Parmesan or what not. Definitely give Leonardo’s a try at least once.

The value of their foods are outstanding, even if we prefer less salty. Our stomachs and feelings are so much saturated. One point they would be better is to have free Wi-Fi. The area for AT&T is too weak.
