We love coming here. However, the price of the butter lettuce salad is now $18 without the added chicken. Way over priced and small portion. My husband is really disappointed in that. Now also adding $3 for an extra tablespoon of pesto .. not nice. Since we don't eat a lot we're always able to bring leftovers home which is great. Hope Giancarlo fixes some of the prices and portions. Thanks.

We made reservations for the patio and it was delightful! So quiet and beautiful. The meals were delicious, as always. The waitstaff was impeccably attentive and professional. Our Boston gourmet friend was impressed and wants to return on her next trip. 5 stars!

Two problems. First we were not told there would be a $3 split change to split a ceasar salad. Also the salads were so small as to be ridiculous. Second, one of us ordered the seafood pasta. Enormous amount of pasta. When it was removed from the plate there were a couple of small shrimp and a few tiny clams. So much for the seafood. It was sent back.

My boyfriend and I went to celebrate his birthday. We split a bottle of Pinot and the server brought tiramisu with a candle at the end of our meal. We’ve been here twice now and thoroughly enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere. The dimmed lighting and an open kitchen give it a cozy feel, something like home - without the cooking. Look forward to visiting again soon.

We have been enjoying this neighborhood restaurant for years. On our last visit we were surprised that they now charge for bread. Also, our server, who was new, was curt, snippy and detracted from our experience.

They have made changes to menu - no substitutions. A chicken Milanese dish which used to have nice portion of spaghetti noodles/marinara had that missing so chicken was by itself on plate! Dry overcooked chicken. Portions not as generous as before (last month). Won’t be back

Waited 20 minutes after being seated to place the order, and then another 30 minutes for good. Mussels were gritty, not well cleaned. Service was simply poor. Missed elements of the order. Portions quite small and VERY over priced. Sadly, I've been coming here for years, and will not be returning.

After an incredible weekend of restaurants and exceptional service thought the bar had been set for an amazing experience. was rong. The food was absolutely incredible and the service (specifically that of Sara) was nothing short of life changing. The entire experience, from the perfectly cooked pasta to the delectable wine and spirits selection made a short weekend in Denver all that we could have hoped for. We know that reviews can matter, and I often don't write reviews, but this is an intentional exception. You want a good time? - Book a reservation Ask for Sara - Order a glass of wine and participate in a night to remember.

Insanely expensive for the quality and experience. $100 for two people to have a meal each, split a very small side salad and have two sparkling waters. Disappointed and won’t be going back.

We have been coming to Locanda since they opened and we will come back but if this was our first or second time, we would not come back. One person ordered tuna and asked that vegetables be substituted for the potatoes. They were not. Another asked if spaghetti could be substituted for mashed potatoes in the sausage and potato dish and was told they could not and he had to order a side of spaghetti. This substation has been made for us many times. The spaghetti side was like mush and uneatable. The person who served us was very friendly and remembered us however the person who took our order did not smile and was not friendly. Not a good evening.

We split a $14 Caesar salad and were charged a $3.00 split plate charge! What a rip off! $17 for Caesar salad! The menu clearly says there is a split plate charge for entrees and pasta dishes so why were we charged it for a non-entree salad? I didn't mention it to our server but I did check the menu on the way out. Our dishes were okay, spinach and ricotta ravioli was pretty light on ricotta and my date liked the seafood risotto. $9.00 for garlic bread was also a major disappointment - it had NO GARLIC at all! It was terrible and our server said it was good. Not in a hurry to go back.
