Leonardo

About Leonardo

The room is small, the reservations are impossible, and everything about this place says it does not need you to show up. Leonardo sits inside a Collins Avenue hotel in Miami Beach and operates like a private dining room that accidentally let the public in. The pasta is handmade with the kind of precision that makes you wonder what the chef did before this — each plate arrives looking like it belongs in a gallery, except you eat it and it tastes even better than it looks. The menu is short, the wine list is not, and the staff remembers your name after one visit. Do not walk in expecting a table — book weeks ahead, sit where they put you, and order the tasting if they offer it.
