IL Localino is a lovely restaurant in midtown with great authentic Italian food and wonderful service .However the prices are outrages and they certainly added hidden fees as an example an added mushrooms on my pasta was $7and GF options were over $24. its just not justified for 4 people without any meat or fish to be $200 .We liked it it was delicious but its not upscale and the prices were above and behind as an upscale place .

We LOVE Il Localino and wish would have found it sooner. It is a wonderful experience from start to finish. The outstanding service, food, drinks, music and ambience create a lasting and lovely night out. Plus, the safety protocols in place provide privacy and proper social distancing. 10 out of 10 stars!

This was absolutely my favorite Italian restaurant and I have been to several, including Little Italy in NYC and across the country. You would never know it from the outside, but once inside you are transported to an italian masterpiece. The food was INCREDIBLE not to mention the service. We were personally greeted by the chef and owner as well as Claire (I hope I got her name correct). They explained the menu and made excellent recommendations. We would even consider another trip to Atlanta just to go back.

Look, the food is great , and that’s what everyone cares about . The service , top notch . Which is a close 2nd to list of priorities . But they also have the “it” factor . So many great restaurants I. Atlanta , even when you love a place , you still keep going down the list . IL Loco Lino will make you come back again and again. Gale and her husband make you feel right at home

We had not been to Il Localino in several years - it was better than we remembered! Great service, a quaint atmosphere (maybe slightly overdone) and excellent food. Its hard to critique anything because the service is just that good - it may be cliché, but they treat guests like family.

Food was very good. The ambiance and wait service was fantastic and entertaining. Wonderful experience. However, it was much too expensive. There are better italian restaurants in Atlanta, three or maybe four, that have as good if not better food and more reasonably priced. Very good food, wonderful experience but just too expensive.

This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant. The food is excellent. The cocktails are delicious and made with love. But the two owners, Mama Gail and Giovani, are the spark that make it all come together. This is a place we will return to again and again.

We went here for the Valentine's Prixe Fixe menu and it was fantastic! The service was wonderful, the food and drinks were delicious, and the Valentine's decorations had everyone feeling the love in the air. I truly can't think of anything that could have made our experience better. We will be back soon for sure!

Great food , great ambience . Everything from cocktails ( recommend the Black Manhattan ) to the appetizers (fresh arugula and burrata cheese) to the dessert (tiramisu to die for) were outstanding . Also the wine by the glass list was superb (Mt. Veeder Cab by the glass is hard to find!) The Covid response was also great . Excellent separation of patrons, spaced reservations, no parties larger than 4 or5, mostly 2. Go take your best girl here , she will love it . Mine did!

The owners were nice and the ambience was fun. However, for the price of the food, the quality didn’t match it. My husband and I got filet mignon and lobster as our main course. Both were drenched in sauces which would be completely unnecessary if they were high quality pieces. They sat us in a corner and the carpet smelled very badly.

We had such a great experience here for our pre Valentine dinner. The whole place was decorated beautifully and the staff was practicing all the precautions that made us feel comfortable. The food was scrumptious and according to my husband the cocktails were delightful.

Everything about IL Localino was amazing! The owner came out multiple times and was so so nice. The food was delicious - half of our group was vegetarian and the other half was not - amazing options for both. Would recommend for a fun girls night and/or a special occasion. 10/10 would go back
