If you ever find yourself wandering the charming streets of Ramsbottom, there's one spot you absolutely shouldn’t miss: San Leonardo, nestled at 49 Bolton Street. This restaurant blends traditional Italian warmth with modern flair, making it a go-to for everything from casual solo lunches to indulgent late-night dinners.
From the moment you step inside, San Leonardo exudes a cozy yet stylish vibe. The ambience hits just the right balance-elegant without being pretentious, intimate without feeling cramped. And for those who value comfort and accessibility, the space is fully wheelchair-accessible, from entrance to seating.
Now, let’s talk food-because San Leonardo doesn’t play around. Their pasta and pizza game is seriously strong. Whether you're diving into a steaming plate of tagliatelle with king prawns and cherry tomato, or keeping it classic with a bubbling-hot lasagne, the flavors are deep, authentic, and unmistakably Italian. The spaghetti is al dente perfection, and if you're lucky enough to catch the muscles (yes, the seafood kind!) on a specials night, don’t hesitate.
The bruschetta and caprese salad are fantastic starters-light, fresh, and bursting with ripe tomatoes and basil. If you're in the mood for something rich, the pollo piccata hits all the right notes: tender chicken in a lemony, buttery sauce that practically melts in your mouth. And then there’s the lamb shank, slow-cooked to fall-off-the-bone tenderness, served with veggies and enough rustic charm to make you forget you’re not actually dining on a Tuscan hillside.
Seafood lovers will be more than satisfied with the likes of monk fish, mussels, and the unforgettable garlic prawns. But even the unexpected dishes, like cheese balls or the fiery chilli king prawns on toast, show the kitchen’s creativity and attention to flavor.
Meat eaters will find joy in the sirloin steak, especially when paired with a side of roasted veggies or a glass from their great wine list. Speaking of which-San Leonardo knows how to pour. The wine selection is well-curated, the cocktails are balanced and creative, and even the coffee is strong enough to keep you lingering just a little longer.
And when it comes to desserts, they absolutely deliver. Their pudding selection changes often, but if you ever see custard on the menu-go for it. It’s homemade, creamy, and just sweet enough to satisfy without being overpowering.
Another major plus? They cover all the service bases. Craving a cozy dine-in meal? You’re covered. Want to grab something delicious on the go? Their takeaway service is fast and efficient. Prefer to enjoy it at home? Delivery is available too. It’s clear that convenience and quality are part of the San Leonardo philosophy.
For anyone looking for healthy options, you’ll find plenty of choices that don’t skimp on flavor. And if you’re in need of a late-night bite, they’re one of the few places in Ramsbottom that stays open to accommodate that too.
Whether you're meeting friends, celebrating a milestone, or just popping in for a quick bite and a glass of wine, San Leonardo brings that unmistakable Italian energy-welcoming, delicious, and just the right amount of indulgent.
