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.

The food here is always amazing. However, they keep trying to put us on the patio, and that is not what we want. The service last night was not good, like it usually is.

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.

I enjoyed my time there very much. The waiter was charming. The drinks and other items arrived slowly. I suspect they were short staffed, because I didn't see anyone else serving the entire dining room. Also, the guy who filled our water glasses seemed to also be working behind the bar.

I am glad that I asked for reservations to make sure a table would be available when we arrived. I have been there several times and despite the small parking lot, I always find a space. I invite friends to meet me there usually but went there with my wife this time. It was very nice.
