About Restaurant Leo

Restaurant Leo is a contemporary Italian restaurant located in Sydney’s CBD, tucked into the Angel Place/Ash Street laneway precinct. Led by acclaimed chefs Federico Zanellato (LuMi Dining) and Karl Firla (formerly of Oscillate Wildly), the restaurant focuses on Italian-accented dishes prepared with seasonal Australian produce, including handmade pasta, seafood, and modern takes on classic meat dishes, complemented by a serious wine and cocktail list. The venue sits in the refined space between fine dining and a relaxed city bistro, offering white-tablecloth service in a warm, intimate room.

A charge from “Leo Sydney Pty Ltd Sydney” is very likely tied to Restaurant Leo (and its sister espresso bar Picco Leo) operating at 1/2–12 Angel Place in Sydney’s CBD. The underlying company, Leo Sydney Pty Ltd, owns and runs the restaurant and associated café, so card statements may show either the company name or the trading name. Charges typically arise from in-restaurant dining, drinks at the bar, tasting menus, set-course lunches or dinners, or café purchases such as coffee and pastries during the day. Depending on bank processing, you might also see pre-authorisation holds if a tab was opened. ([abr.business.gov.au](https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?id=40638009800&utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about a charge, first check any email booking confirmations, online receipts, or SMS messages from Restaurant Leo or Picco Leo for the date and amount shown on your statement. You can also compare the transaction date and total with any diary entries, calendar events, or photos from a visit to Sydney’s CBD or Angel Place. For further clarification, contact the restaurant directly using the phone number or contact details listed on their official website, and provide the exact date, amount, and last four digits of the card used so staff can look up your booking or receipt. If the restaurant cannot locate a matching transaction and you still don’t recognise the charge, your bank can help you dispute it or investigate possible card misuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank statement show “Leo Sydney Pty Ltd Sydney” instead of Restaurant Leo?

Restaurant Leo trades through the company Leo Sydney Pty Ltd, so some card processors display the legal entity name (Leo Sydney Pty Ltd) rather than the public-facing brand (Restaurant Leo or Picco Leo). If the date and amount match a meal or café visit to Angel Place in Sydney, it is likely this is the same business.

What types of purchases usually result in a charge from Restaurant Leo or Leo Sydney Pty Ltd?

Most charges come from dining at Restaurant Leo—such as multi-course lunches or dinners, à la carte meals, drinks, or wine—as well as café items from Picco Leo like coffee, pastries, or light food. The total can include food, beverages, and any service fee or surcharge that applied on the day.

Does Restaurant Leo place a temporary pre-authorisation hold on my card?

In some cases, especially when opening a bar tab or securing a reservation with card details, your bank may show a temporary pre-authorisation or pending amount from Leo Sydney Pty Ltd. This hold should either convert to the final bill total once processed or drop off automatically within a few business days if not used.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Restaurant Leo transaction?

To request a receipt, contact Restaurant Leo using the phone or email listed on restaurantleo.com.au and provide the transaction date, approximate time, total amount, and last four digits of your card. Staff can usually locate the transaction in their POS system and email you a copy of the tax invoice.

How do I change or cancel a Restaurant Leo reservation to avoid charges or fees?

If you booked directly via the Restaurant Leo website or by phone, use the confirmation email’s link or contact the restaurant as early as possible to change or cancel your booking in line with their cancellation policy. Third‑party bookings (such as via reservation platforms) should be modified through that platform, which may have its own cut-off times and fees.

Can I get a refund or adjustment if my Restaurant Leo charge is incorrect?

If you believe you were overcharged or billed twice, first compare the amount on your receipt with the statement. Then contact Restaurant Leo directly with your receipt details so they can review the transaction in their POS records. If an error is confirmed, they can process a refund or adjustment back to your card; allow a few business days for it to appear.

Why is the amount from Leo Sydney Pty Ltd higher than I expected?

The final amount can be higher than a menu total due to beverages, supplements, public‑holiday or Sunday surcharges, or tips/gratuities added at payment. If you’re unsure, request the itemised receipt from the restaurant to see exactly what was included in the total.

How can I verify that this Leo Sydney Pty Ltd charge is legitimate and not fraud?

Match the transaction date, time, and amount with any visit you made to Restaurant Leo or Picco Leo in Sydney’s Angel Place, and review receipts, booking emails, or calendar entries. If you still don’t recognise it after confirming with the restaurant, contact your bank immediately to report suspected fraud and request a card replacement or dispute.
