While waiting for my takeout order, I ordered a 6 oz glass of Chardonnay and was very surprised to see I was charged $14. That is way too much. And is quite annoying. The server should have told me she was pouring a premium...or I'm assuming it was a premium brand.

We really like coming to this restaurant and I especially like the salmon and spinach sides. Last night however it took us an hour and 15 minutes to get our food while the tables around us got their food immediately. I think there might’ve been a glitch in the kitchen, and it was no fault of the server Nick who is lovely.

Adding Locanda to our list of Italian places. Food is great and the bar makes great drinks. Servers are very nice, but I think they are short a couple people as it’s a very popular restaurant Many things are homemade here !

We have been going to Locanda since it opened and considered it our go-to place. NOT last night. They had always served complimentary bread. Last night, the bread was served and we were charged $6 even though we had not requested it nor did the wait person did not tell us of the charge. Also, without telling we were charged $1 for ice in a drink. The waitperson was totally unprofessional.

Our two guests commented it was there first time to this restaurant and gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. Locanda del Borgo will be seeing us all again soon!

Our wait staff couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful. It is always fun to go to Locanda —the pastas (both the lobster and the short ribs) were very very good, while the butter, lettuce salad could’ve used less dressing, but was also very tasty. We will definitely go back to Locanda and are so pleased it’s in the neighborhood.

Menu has many excellent choices. In our several visits, including entertaining guests, all of our selections have proven to be tasty and nicely proportioned. The only glitch we ever experienced was this evening - they had run out of ice tea! If that is the worst criticism on can levy ... ;-) Our continued patronage expresses our opinion very well indeed.

Used to love this place... But I think that quality of food has gone downhill. The acoustics are terrible, it smelled like they were having a sewage problem, the salads were WAY OVER DRESSED- dripping with grease and the pasta was overcooked. Super bummed.

The food is lovely, especially fish dishes. The greeter/seater was the only sour note. She and everyone at the bar had on party hats, and when we asked her what the celebration was, she ignored the question. Why make customers feel unwelcome?

The best chicken Marsala - it is one of my favorite meals and I have ordered it around the country and this place is superb- add to that the friendly and attentive service and lovely outdoor table and you have an epic Saturday night dinner experience. A plus plus.

Went for lunch on a Thursday. Our waiter had warned us that there was a miscommunication in the kitchen and one of the chefs was not working. We waited 45 minutes to get an order of French fries that were tasteless and overcooked. Our meal came 15 minutes after that and was just fair. Asked for a piece of salmon to be cooked through and the waiter wrote done well done - the salmon came out burnt in places. The waiter brought out another one which was definitely cooked through plus. There was no music on and only a few tables seated. The whole experience was off.
