Really great food, service, and very attentive staff. Antonio was our server and he was great. The entire meal was great. The panacotta at the end was one of the best I’ve had.

We had such a great experience at this beautiful new restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the ambiance and thoughtful decor, everything feels warm, inviting, and stylish.
The entire team was amazing, you could genuinely tell everyone enjoys working there. From the friendly hostess to the attentive servers and bartender, the energy was great. We were warmly welcomed by Lisa, and received excellent service from Roy, who was super knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions, as you can see we ordered a lot. Alberto, the bartender, also stood out with his friendly vibe and attention to detail.
We found easy parking in the back, and even though the restaurant has only been open for a month, it was already bustling! Thankfully we had a reservation.

Our server Shanti made this a memorable experience. I am Italian and live in Panama City, Florida. When I came to San Jose for work my friend said i had to try this restaurant. So grateful for the recommendation. And if you do come, you may want to ask for this delightful and full of energy server named “Shanti.” Better than Chianti :-)

I stopped by for dinner with my partner a few nights ago and everything was delicious. The atmosphere was great thanks to our server Shannon. She recommended that I pair the Brunello with the carbonara and it did not disappoint. Overall a great experience, and this place is now one of our favorites. We can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommend Locanda Ischia!

Sat at the bar, which had a friendly welcoming atmosphere. They have a good selection of quality Italian wines, a bit young, but since it is a newly opened restaurant that is expected. Very drinkable. Sampled the carbonara. Really excellent. Pasta was firm and tasty. Pork cheeks were a nice addition. All in all a very pleasant time.

I had tried this franchise in Campbell and it was solid if not amazing. A solid B. As they opened a location closer to us, we thought we would try.

We made a reservation. They had trouble finding it. Maybe had a hard time hearing, the 2/3rds full place was very loud. We got water than sat for 20 minutes, no drink order, no checkin if we were ready to order. Ignored. I mentioned it to the staff member passing. More time passed. It was so unpleasantly loud, we could not imagine coping through an overly lengthy meal with indifferent service. We left. Better options in WG.

First time in, this place was incredible. Very cute interior, cozy and welcoming, yet spacious. We ordered the focaccina which was so fresh, soft and flavorful. We also ordered the special of the night, cacio e pepe served table side, which was absolutely incredible. Lastly we ordered the lasagna, which had the most balanced sauce I've ever had paired with the most tender lasagna noodles I've ever had.

Had a lovely time at Locanda Ischia last week. They recently opened up and the vibe is amazing. Really feels like Italy. The owner of the restaurant was working at the restaurant as well and making sure that every guest enjoyed their diner and evening. If you can’t choose what you want from the menu, I definitely recommend the Gnocchi with class of red wine, I enjoyed the Primitivo with it.

Would definitely visit again soon. Great job all!
