♦ Ricky's Sports Theatre & Grill ♦
In all our years of visiting restaurants in the San Leandro area, we have rarely come across one that pleases us as much as Ricky's Sports Theatre & Grill does! It's one of the best sports bars that we've been to, and though they charge a cover on Sundays for the NFL games, this is one cover charge that we never mind paying! f you've been trying to find a sports bar where the food is great and the ambiance is top notch, then you will really enjoy this one. Everything from the drinks to the service is superb. You can find Ricky's Sports Theatre & Grill at 15028 Hesperian Boulevard. Very highly recommended!
♦ Paradiso Restaurant ♦
One of the most excellent places to visit with the most stunning atmosphere in the San Leandro area is Paradiso Restaurant. We've never had food that was so refreshing and so elegantly prepared. It feels like comfort food at its very best. The wine list is noteworthy here too, and we'd recommend the linguini with prawns or the lobster ravioli the most!. Every time we come in they make an even bigger impression on us than all the times before. The location of Paradiso Restaurant on Bancroft Avenue between Dutton Avenue and Oakes Boulevard. Don't miss it!
♦ Fifth Wheel ♦
San Leandro has a lot of good restaurants in and around it, but one of our absolute favorites is Fifth Wheel. It's really comfortable and inviting, with an atmosphere that we always enjoy, and we've never had anything but a charming experience here! The food at this restaurant is just out of this world, so good that we keep coming back for more! The breakfast is really amazing and we also really enjoy their dinner rolls and country fried steak. We're very happy with everything here. You'll be able to locate Fifth Wheel on San Leandro Boulevard near the intersection with Lille Street. One of our highest recommendations!
♦ The Englander Sports Pub & Restaurant ♦
If you've been looking for a pleasant place to have a really great meal and drinks in the San Leandro area, then look no further! The Englander Sports Pub & Restaurant has got you covered. They've got a really great selection of beers on draft, and we couldn't recommend this bar to you any more highly than we do! The service can be a little bit hit or miss, but the food and drinks are top notch so it's a trade off. The waitstaff is friendly even if they are a bit slow getting to you. You will not believe the ambiance here either, it's so classic. The Englander Sports Pub & Restaurant is very conveniently located on Parrott Street between Washington Avenue and California 185.

♦ La Pinata Restaurant ♦
La Pinata Restaurant has so much going for it, in terms of the service, ambiance, and high quality of the food, and it's also got really wonderful drinks! Good and strong, never watered down. One of the reasons that we're so hooked on this restaurant is the incredible tequila, the high quality service, and of course the taste of their food, including that famous Pescado Especial. You've got to try it! You'll be able to locate La Pinata Restaurant on Merced Street between Republic Avenue and Fairway Drive. Don't miss this one!
♦ Horatio's ♦
Horatio's is one of our favorite restaurants in the San Leandro area, and it also happens to be one of the very best lunch spots in town. The scenic view is unrivaled, and the duck has got to be our favorite dish on the menu. This has got to be one of the delicious places to dine in the area, and you can trust us, because we've tried them all! Between the beautiful decor and the very sweet and friendly waitstaff, and of course the affordable prices and high quality ingredients, there's not much else that you could you ask for. You can find Horatio's conveniently at 60 Monarch Bay Drive. So great!
♦ Zocalo Coffeehouse ♦
When you're visiting the San Leandro area, be sure to try Zocalo Coffeehouse. It's without a doubt one of the most charming little coffee shops that we've ever been to, with really loyal regulars and a staff that makes you want to come back time and time again for their great service and incredible coffee! The quality of all the ingredients at this coffee shop is just unbelievable, and that's only one of many reasons that we recommend it so highly to you. The taste of the coffee is superb and strong, and the only complaint that we have is they don't stay open late enough! 645 Bancroft is the location of Zocalo Coffeehouse, and we definitely recommend that you pay them a visit!
♦ Porky's Pizza Palace ♦
On our last visit to San Leandro, we discovered Porky's Pizza Palace and we really got hooked! It's really a fun and family-friendly spot and one that we love to bring our closest friends to to enjoy a great pizza and some really good conversation! Everything here is prepared with the utmost attention to quality and detail, from the freshest local ingredients, and presented tastefully. You will be able to find Porky's Pizza Palace in the easily navigated area of Manor Boulevard between Farnsworth Street and Inverness Street. Don't miss it!
♦ Vo's Restaurant ♦
Vo's Restaurant is one of the best Vietnamese and French fusion restaurants in the San Leandro area. In fact we're not sure that you'll find that particular fusion mix anywhere else! We just love it. This is one of our most highly recommended restaurants, partially because of the overwhelmingly good service but mostly because of the taste of the food! With incredible meals like this, there's no wonder that they're always so busy! You can find Vo's Restaurant on Parrott Street between Hays Street and Washington Avenue, not difficult to find at all! One of our highest recommendations!
♦ Tsuru Sushi Japanese Restaurant ♦
You've really got to take the time to visit Tsuru Sushi Japanese Restaurant when you are in the San Leandro area! It's got to be one of the most pleasant places to enjoy sushi and Japanese fare in the entire city, and we have had many wonderful times with friends here. The sushi rolls are really out of this world, and at a place that puts so much effort into making something simple like their udon noodle dishes, it's no question that even the more adventurous dishes would be really great too. You'll be able to locate Tsuru Sushi Japanese Restaurant right on East 14th Street between Begier Avenue and Haas Avenue, not far from lots of other great attractions and restaurants. We definitely recommend it to you!
