Best neighborhood Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, authentic Italian food and outstanding service
Wonderful family great passion!!!! Love the attention! Food was wonderful!
All Access Transportation held our employee holiday gathering at La Locanda. One employee recommended this authentic, Italian spot in Brooklyn. It was phenomenal from the food to the service. It was warm and cozy. Our party was only 10 but we ordered many dishes from the menu. Stand-outs are the fried calamari and grilled octopus for appetizers. I ate the White Fish Rollitini. It was outstanding. The bread basket was rustic and what you could expect to get in Europe. The portions are perfect and also what you could enjoy in Europe. There is a full bar and there was a pretty decent wine section. It wasn't too extensive but I opted for Montepulciano. It was excellent. Desert stand-outs were the amazing, homemade yogurt pie and tiramisu. We loved our waiter and were treated royally. We will be back.
The service was really good. I cant eat pork and ordered the meatball pasta without checking what meat it was. Our waitress didn’t even charge me. The food was great and prices where fair.
I have been their customer for long time because my Italian family like this place. Very casual, like home cooking, staff is very friendly. I try all regular menu and party menu. They still have old system for accepting only cash for tips, that I'm not crazy about.
Been eating here for 20+ years. Food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Prices for dishes are way below the normal for such quality of food and service. The food is light and tasty, the way it's supposed to be; not overly cooked with butter and salt. Family owned and operated so you always get the best. Bringing friends and family here for years and everyone loves this place.
The Hostess and waiter were very nice and attentive. Nice calm intimate atmosphere with chill music. And the foood! Oh my God chefs kiss. Excelente, bravo, belisima. Everything tatsed fantastic, authentic and fresh. Will definitely return.
My personal favorite restaurant...been going here for over 25 years.....a must try in Brooklyn....family owned restaurant and it seems like everybody knows each other here!
Absolutely brilliant night here. My boyfriend’s order was delayed as part of a party of eight, but they more than made up for it with genuine apologies and a free bottle of wine. The food was delicious (definitely get the baked clams) and the staff was helpful and friendly. The owner stopped by our table several times and was an absolute delight. We originally came here because another restaurant screwed us of a table despite having a reservation, but it turned out to be a stroke of luck. We had an amazing night with fantastic food and great people. I cannot wait to come here again!
Well prepared traditional Italian dishes in a nice restaurant with wonderful staff. It was my first time there recently with a couple of old friends I worked with. A great place to eat. Ill most definitely be back
First time at La Locanda a pleasant experience.Delicious food generous portions and good service.Will go back again.
Adorable, cozy neighborhood spot with homestyle Italian American standards and an expansive wine list. Friendly, welcoming staff and very reasonable prices (two entrees, a side dish, a cocktail and two glasses of wine for under $45 per person). Thoughtful execution elevates the simplest offerings, like escarole with white beans: garlic and oregano sang balanced quietly & perfectly in the background. My partner's and my entrees (chicken scarpielo and chicken francase) were beautifully executed, nothing extraneous (except maybe salt), nothing fancy. A wonderful option when the comfort and welcome of homestyle food would be welcome. Note: we were a little surprised that they only accept cash tips.
