From the moment we entered the venue we were welcomed like regular customers, though it has been years. The friendly, prompt and attentive service was commendable. We liked a particular wine, which came as a pairing to one of the courses, and they kindly sold us a bottle. A return visit is definitely in the cards, we had the Tutto Bene so next time we will try ala carte.

Last night I had a birthday dinner with two members of my family. As usual it was great but as an added bonus there was aging the magician and mentalist. Absolutely fantastic. I already love Andiamo but will definitely go more on Thursday nights

LOVE La Botte D'Oro - great food, lovely staff. The aromas hit you when you walk in the door. We were a group of 5 and everyone loved their meals. So fresh and full of flavour. I keep going back for the incredible mussels, and their pizzas are the best! Definitely a favourite in Leichhardt.
