" I stumbled into Leonardo's while passing through Millbrae, and I'm so glad I did! Their sandwiches are off the charts! I tried the breakfast sandwich with bagels and it was delightful, just so fresh and filling. The owner was super engaging, sharing stories about the deli's history. You can feel the passion in every bite. However, the service was a bit slow because they were busy, but it was well worth the wait. I would highly recommend this little gem to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Leonardo's, I'm reminded why it's a staple in Millbrae. This place serves classic deli sandwiches with heaps of fillings and freshly baked bread. The vibe is very reminiscent of an old-school deli that you’d only find in movies. Friendly staff always make you feel at home, and their soup specials are incredibly delicious! After finding this gem, I don’t even look for other options anymore when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch here today and it was pretty decent! The atmosphere feels like a classic deli found back in the day, very inviting. I ordered a turkey sandwich, which was tasty and packed full of meat. The service was friendly, but I faced a bit of a wait time because it was packed with customers. That said, I think it’s worth a visit if you want a filling meal at a local spot. I might come back to try one of their breakfast options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the most fantastic experience at Leonardo's Deli Cafe! The Raider sandwich truly blew me away with its generous helpings of juicy chicken and fresh vegetables. The garlic sauce added just the right kick, too. The owner approached us with such warmth, making sure we had everything we needed. This spot has a real old-school deli vibe that just feels right. Plus, the fact that their bread is baked fresh daily makes all the difference! You can tell they care about quality here. I've already made plans to come back next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Leonardo's Deli Cafe is an iconic spot that definitely lives up to the hype. While the sandwiches are a bit pricey for a deli, the portions are huge and the ingredients are top-notch. The friendly staff made me feel right at home, and they have a fantastic selection of daily specials. My only complaint was how busy it was during lunch hour, which slowed down service a bit. Regardless, it’s a great place to pop in and grab a quick bite or catch up with friends. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, where do I even begin? This spot is amazing! The sandwiches are fabric of the community; made with love and passion. I always opt for the pastrami on rye which has a heft to it that you can barely finish. The owner remembers my name which is such a personal touch to experience. The ambiance is relaxed and friendly with Sinatra playing softly in the background; it truly feels like you’ve stepped into a timeless deli. My advice? Don’t skip their homemade soups as they’re delightful! Overall, it's an experience I always look forward to. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was recommended to try the breakfast sandwich here, and it did not disappoint! Fluffy scrambled eggs, rich cheese, and crispy bacon all on a deliciously toasted bagel. The owner was chatting with customers making the place feel warm and welcoming. My only critique was the wait, but sometimes good food takes time. I’m definitely coming back for round two on my next trip to Millbrae! " (*Curated Review*)
