LEOLA | NASSAU, BAHAMAS

LEOLA at Baha Mar presents a compelling fine-dining experience, offering modern Italian cuisine crafted by two-time James Beard Award-winning chef Scott Conant. Nestled in the resort’s Grand Hyatt location, this culinary venue showcases Conant’s refined yet approachable style: handmade pastas, pristine seafood and premium meats, infused with the warmth and soul of Italian tradition and contemporary technique. 

The ambiance at Leola is equally noteworthy. Spanning an expansive 8,800 square-foot space with a 106-seat main dining room, 130-seat outdoor terrace, two bars and a private dining room, the restaurant is designed by Restoration Hardware and evokes the glamour of a 1920s Italian speakeasy—with rich velvet furnishings, gilded detailing, ornate chandeliers and ambient lighting that strike a balance between timeless elegance and relaxed sophistication. 

On the menu, you’ll find standout dishes such as Pasta al Pomodoro, Ossobuco Roasted Pork Shank with saffron polenta, Roman-style artichokes with lemon aioli and mint pesto, rigatoni with jumbo lump crab and Calabrian chili bottarga pangrattato, and a selection of imported charcuterie, cheeses and accoutrements for sharing. The beverage program complements the food with a curated Old World wine list—emphasizing Italian Barolo vintages—and an inventive cocktail offering. 

Leola is ideal for special occasions, destination dining or elegant evenings out, where guests can immerse themselves in a refined yet inviting setting and enjoy Italian cuisine at its modern best—and in a Caribbean resort context. With its chef-driven vision, luxurious design and international pedigree, Leola sets a new benchmark for Italian fine dining in The Bahamas.
