Locale was one of our favorite restaurants. Service is very good. Food is very good. The noise level is horrible. We have learned to ask to be seated in the main level by the bar, and even there the noise is very loud. Our most recent visit we had to sit in the lower area. We sat close enough that our knees touched and we still had to shout at each other to be heard. There does not seem to be any noise reducing architectural element at all. We used to bring guests there but we don't any more just because we have to shout at each other to have a conversation. We have just read several reviews of their new restaurant, Miramonte, and apparently the noise level there is even worse. Why does a restaurant not care that their guests can't hear above the noise? Disappointing.

It's incredibly noisy. No attention has been paid to acoustic engineering like acoustic tiles. It's quite unpleasant.

Soooo you’re just going to take away your date night specials out of nowhere? Cool. Won’t be returning when you guys said last week you’d have it going on again. Also, when I call to ask if it’s going on make sure the hostess knows the deals of the day. Cmon guys. Also, not allowing reservations for a party over 8 is insane. Clearly based on the lack of response of recent reviews, you guys don’t seem to care or fix this issue. You guys have had 5 1 star reviews in a week and are apparently discriminating against people? What a shame. This place used to be so good.

They have a great burger and fries and the portions are huge! I also am a fan of Mama’s cocktail. That said, I was really disappointed to find they were closed early last time we stopped in for dinner. That’s never a good look for a business.

We visited Locale Italian on Saturday, 5/18, and had a truly 5-star experience. The food was delicious, and our service was attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal.

We were especially impressed by the hostess. We witnessed another customer berating her and making accusations of racism. She handled the stressful situation with grace and incredible composure, which was commendable.

Our multi-cultural group received nothing but excellent treatment and wonderful service. We highly recommend Locale and will certainly return.

Food was not very good, and despite being 10 minutes away from the turnover from the lunch to dinner menu, we were told, “we can’t get you guys the dinner menu” which kind of informed the whole meal, thereafter.

Love this place. Fantastic patio with a great vibe. House wine selections are great and amazing polenta. Lots of good selections on the menu - our favorites include the pepperoni pizza (on a focaccia bread), polenta, and their bruschetta.

Maybe put the fact that you’re closing from 3pm - close on your website instead of just on your Instagram. Way to ruin anniversary plans.

Food was good not exceptional we were looking forward to the homemade pasta, we discovered the menu has very limited pasta dishes, no bread is served with meals so we purchased bread it came to our table as we were finishing our meal. Nice place but not sure we will be frequent customers, we called to make reservations for our group of 6 one being very elderly age 96 years, but couldn't because they only reserved for parties of 8 or more, it was rough for my 96 year old mom to have to wait so long on bench outside for our table.
