Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Great for fine wines

From the owner Leonardo Landini "When I decided to open Ristorante Illando, I had a vision in my head...my cozy house back in Firenze, Italy; my family dining table filled with the food I grew up with. Now I can surround you with the warmth of my Italian home and an authentic Italian meal here at Illando. Benvenuti e buon appetito a tutti!!"

Our favorite place in Little Italy. We go at least once a month. I would like it if you brought back the Gnocci with fennel sausage. Great food and wine; always a wonderful date night for us.
