   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!

   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.

   Such outstanding food! The staff is so knowledgeable in the drinks and food and can answer your questions easily. They are on top of service! The food is truly tasteful. Recommend the tartar, shrimp, squash blossoms and burata appetizers.

   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.

   Locanda is always my favorite. Love the Italian influence and family. Mostly when I am lucky enough to go, I’ve been very satisfied. Some of the dishes aren’t exactly what I might expect, but delicious regardless. The service and the ambience and the general demeanor of everybody just makes up for it a lot. I’d recommend this restaurant for any kind of an occasion. Look forward to going back yet again.

    First off, our waitress was great. We made the mistake of ordering the special which was a calamari pasta. It was just OK and certainly not worth $30 for a plate of noodles and a little bit of calamari. This place has great potential. I’ve been here with a girlfriend for cocktails and appetizers and it was great. I look forward to sitting outdoors in nicer weather. I just will be careful to not order a special without understanding what it really is.

    It was our first time at this restaurant and my husband and I were extremely impressed! The service was great! The food was amazing! My salmon was cooked perfectly and if you want a tasty cocktail make sure to indulge on the espresso martini! We will definitely be back soon! Thanks Locanda for a lovely experience!

    We went there with my wife for a Valentine's day date. Everything went smooth.Food looked and tasted amazing, wines and special Valentine's cocktails were impressive. Appreciated the surprise rose flower for my wife and the proactive service from Rafaelle and the crew. Such service is a rare find in America )

    Went for the first time last weekend and loved it so much we went back a few days later. The staff are so friendly, the food is delicious and the drinks are beautiful and delicious. We had the short ribs which my husband said they were the best he has ever had and had the salmon which was so good. Also had the anti pasta board before hand which was so good too. You almost felt like you were in Italy eating here. Definitely our new favorite restaurant in town.

    Eating out the weekend before St Valentine’s Day is always risky. One diner has a dietary challenge, had to return the appetizer as it was covered in pesto. One dinner was good, one was cold. Ate there before and it was good. Will try again and see how it works out.

    We wanted to have our 34th Anniversary diner at Locanda knowing that this would be a special evening, And It Was!! Service was great as well as the food!!! We had a three course by sharing the salad and desert. Even though we brought our own wine ($25 Core Fee) it was totally worth it since we got a cocktail to start our diner! We love this place and it will not be the last time there!!

    We wanted to try out this wine bar/restaurant as we still hadn’t done so since it opened up in Livermore. We sat inside where the atmosphere was nice; very much a classy bar with tables for restaurant guests. The menu isn’t very large something we had seen prior to our visit. Especially for vegetarian/vegan guests the menu has very few dishes to offer; a couple of veggie pastas (with or without cheese would already make a great difference!). Salad was good; the main dishes were not great and definitely not great value for money. The pizza marguerita was ok but nothing out of the ordinary (for $20); the branzino (Seabass) dish was a small portion for ($28) and served on a hard plastic plate. Not sure why this cannot be served on a porcelain plate like other dishes were. Wine selection is reasonable and service efficient. I would go back for a glass of wine in Summer on the patio, but dinner was not a good vslue for money and I recommend to add (veggie/vegan) dishes to the menu and either adjust quality to prices or lower prices.

    We were excited to finally dine at Locanda. We ordered the Margarita pizza and the Brussels Sprouts. The pizza sauce was very watery and lacking flavor. There was also very little mozzarella cheese on top. Also the crust was a little too done, while the top was soggy. It was the worst experience we’ve had with something so simple. On the positive side, the Brussels sprouts were delicious. Our friend order a Mojito, however, it was lacking alcohol, very weak drink. Not sure we will come back. Very expensive and not worth it.

    The outdoor seating was very accommodating. It was a cold night, but the heaters and blankets kept us warm (and the 2 bottles of wine!). The place was busy and had a nice buzz to it, as did we.

    My husband and I came to Locanda to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was incredible. The drinks were perfect - delicious and adorned with the most beautiful embellishments. I had the cannoli; he had the lasagna - both were perfection. The staff was attentive and took excellent care of us. We will be back very soon!

    I felt like I was back in Italy! This place was so wonderful- the food, service, humor, family-like style they had! It is such a cute spot and nice ambiance as well. I do not pass up going here when I am in DT Livermore now. When we went for a girls night months ago, I was hooked after the Nutella Martini. Then, a couple weeks ago, I ordered a salmon dish and a different martini. We end with limoncello or another shot when celebrating my birthday and get to know the amazing staff! It is such a great place, can't say enough good things!

    Even though we made a reservation, we were advised on arrival that due to the pre-fixe menu eaters, they had priority seating inside. Our table, even with a heater nearby and blanket was cold and wet. Food was mediocre and service just okay. For the price and ratings we were hoping for better. We will not return.

    On a cold rainy Saturday evening we were greeted by the host with a down jacket & ski cap asking if we wanted an outdoor table or sit at the bar. After stating we had reservations he expanded the ‘options’ to a high top or low top table. The restaurant was packed, with tables 1 foot apart, and cold. The service was rushed, like many restaurants these days. Not the place for a quiet romantic relaxed dinner. Parking was a nightmare. On the other hand, the food was very good. The tapenade dip served with the bread, as well as the sesame crusted tuna were delicious. We split a salad and incurred an unexpected charge. We’d go back again for the great food perhaps on a Monday or Tuesday night.
