    Food was all amazing due to the excellent quality of their ingredients. Many of the servers are Italian which enhances the experience. Only downside was the pizza which took about 20 mins longer than we were told. It still tasted fantastic.

    Great branding and wonderful house salad. The pizza wasn't a favorite. Lovely outside place to sit. They closed early or we would have stayed longer to linger over wine and dessert.

    Authentic Italian experience with great food and top-notch service. The outdoor dining area was perfect on a gorgeous evening. Two unexpected positives (for us) -- the NBA playoff game was on and we didn't want to miss, but had a prior commitment. Large screen showing the game gets a thumbs-up for letting us keep tabs on the playoffs. They also have an unusual dry-mist system outside for warmer days. It looks drenching, but other than staying cool, you stay dry. Another thumbs-up. A good downtown Livermore experience and we will return and do recommend.

    I've been here a couple times in the past, and enjoyed it. But this time, we had a 2pm reservation for Mother's Day and the food took really long to come out - about 45 minutes for our entrees, 30 minutes for even the appetizer. The greeter, who may have been the manager, just seemed unfriendly and irritated, too. Our server was very friendly though!

    We have always enjoyed eating here. My office visits the location in Lafayette every week, which is always excellent—this last time in Livermore seemed like they needed more servers and fewer expos/runners. They missed out on more business because our waiter was more interested in the table next to us that knew someone on staff. We would have had more drinks and dessert, but they were too busy comping a bottle of champagne to their friends to ask. This put a damper on my wife's Mothersday lunch, and I think it will be a while until I can get her to try them again. We ended up going somewhere else for dessert.

    Locanda was a a great place to eat in Livermore. Our first two visits required sitting inside due to stormy weather but it is pleasant inside so a good choice regardless of weather. However, the large outside seating area is really pleasant on a nice evening which it was for our third visit. Service was good. Food ranged from okay to delicious. Appreciate that they make non-alcoholic drinks. It was very noisy outside making it difficult to talk to each other. That may be a factor in deciding where to sit.

    Our second visit and we had a terrific experience! Service was very friendly and well-paced; our shared salad, salmon, short rib and shared dessert were all very good, especially the truffled polenta; and, my drink (the Vesuvius) was fantastic! The menu is somewhat limited, but all of the items we tried were first-rate! We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

    Not recommended for vegans as there isn't much to eat; the pear salad was super bland; service was slow; sat outside in hopes of less noise but unfortunately as the restaurant attracts groups of classless screaming partying people it wasn't a good place to have a conversation with a dinner date.

    I think this is the friendliest restaurant/wine bar I have ever been to! We were warmly greeted coming in, the manager checked up on us often, the waitress was totally on top of things. This was a food and wine pairing event and the five courses were beautifully presented (and very good!), and they were excellently paired with wines. This was my first time here, but sure won't be my last!

    Booked a reservation but when we arrived, no tables were available inside. We did not want to sit outside on a cold night, regardless of heaters. We waited about 20 mins before two seats opened at the bar. It took about 15 minutes to be greeted by the bartender to place a drink order. After waiting 30+ minutes, we decided to stay at the bar for dinner, as no tables had left since we had arrived. The food was great, as always.

    We sat outside in the tent with heaters nearby just in case it got chilly. It didn't. This place offers excellent service without being overbearing. Good choice of beers and interesting cocktails. But the food....oh the food was great. Twas a very good experience, if a little pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for and what we paid for was excellent.

    Lasagna came out cold. Pizza and lasagna sauce tasted very plain, almost like it was straight from the can with no seasoning. Tasteless sauce drowned the lasagna. We ordered 2 out of the 3 pasta options and they were not good. Will not be coming back.
